Hong Kong

Launch your TEFL career in Hong Kong!

This captivating destination is the perfect place to make your first foray into teaching. You will find a blend of Chinese culture and Western influences here, derived from Hong Kong’s Chinese heritage and its time as a British Colony. Traditions are taken extremely seriously, with building construction strongly influenced by Feng Shui beliefs, often omitting fourth floors and using mirrors to ward off evil spirits. Hong Kong also has a renowned martial arts film industry, and is the birthplace of Hollywood stars including Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.

August brings a variety of events well worth experiencing. Catch the International Arts Carnival and the Festival of the hungry ghosts, where locals make offerings to restless spirits, ranging from operatic performances to paper models of treasured possessions which are then set alight. The fires burn across Hong Kong, creating a spectacular sight throughout the evening.

A bit about the placement:

Spend 11 months teaching children in this popular location, where the demand for learning English is enormous. In your spare time, sample Cantonese cuisine and take a trip on the star ferry to observe the dramatic skyline views from the harbour.
