   During the last three years I have used my TEFL qualification to live and teach in rural areas of Africa. My aim was to experience life in a different culture, while also being of service to local communities. This has worked out very well, to the extent that Ghana is likely to become my longer term base.

   However, I still have a desire to learn more about life in other areas of the world and a teaching placement in China would be a great opportunity to again live and work in a different culture.

   You will see from my C.V. that I am in my fifties. I am in good health, enjoy travelling and have an open-minded approach to life. I am very excited at the prospect of spending a year in China and hope that you will find my application acceptable.

 

 

 

 

DURATION     If possible, to start in late February/early March 2008 for 6 months.

 

LOCATION      A small town in a rural area if possible.

 

Most of my experience is of teaching 9 to 15 year olds, but I      have also taught older students and adults. I am happy to be flexible!
