Among the most popular destinations in Asia for Australians are China, Thailand and Indonesia, and if you don’t want to face the hassle of job finding and sending cv’s, then we can arrange a guaranteed contract for you.
China’s booming economy and the forthcoming Olympics have created a surge in the demand for English language teachers, with many new language institutes opening and salaries increasing on previous years. Our China placements currently require that all applicants hold a university degree, however this is not an entry requirement should you wish to find work independently. Positions in China are available across the country, including Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing.

Thailand is one of the ‘homes’ of English language teaching. Native English speakers flock from all over the world to work across the country, attracted by the cheap prices, exotic lifestyle and bustling nightlife. As a result of it’s popularity, Thailand’s visa restrictions have recently tightened up, and now only university degree-holders are able to get the correct visa to teach English on a paid basis. Arranged i-to-i teaching positions are available in and around Bangkok.
