Teach for a year in China
Ambassador Year in China (AYC) is an employment opportunity in cultural exchange for university graduates to spend a year (or two consecutive academic semesters) exploring, learning, teaching, and making a difference at placement schools across China by becoming Assistant English Language Teacher.
AYC Provides:
- 8000-10000 RMB / month
- International airfare allowance of RMB 8,300, upon completion of the program.
- TEFL training and certification (free 120-hour course)
- Free housing (conveniently located close to your school)

- Health insurance
- Chinese language lessons
- Airport pickup and ongoing support
- Fruitful cross cultural experience and various kinds of activities
- Potential high value employment opportunities
Why Choose AYC?
Enhance your career prospects with valuable teaching experience abroad
Build up your savings (889GBP/month) while living in China, where costs are lower than in the UK
Gain an international perspective and a competitive edge in the job market
Make lifelong friends and expand your global network
Immerse yourself fully in Chinese culture, engaging all your senses
Unlike typical TIC (teach in China) jobs, being an Assistant English Teacher is a unique learning process that teaches you how to adapt to a vastly different culture one step at a time whether it is overcoming language barriers or handling culturally sensitive situations. Resources such as coordinators and network opportunities are provided so AYCers can lead fulfilling independent lives in China.
As a country with strong political holds on liberal expression (Great Firewall, traditional conventions, government restrictions, etc), China can at times be frustrating for AYCers. However despite these drawbacks, China has other state of the art technological advancements such as high-speed trains, advanced takeout delivery, newly developed biking systems, and many more.
