About the role
- Being an English Tutor with a host family in China is an immense opportunity to grow as a global citizen by experiencing a new culture, pushing your comfort zone, and cultivating the necessary tools to bridge cultural divides now and in the future.
Your schedule as an english tutor
- As you can imagine, each host family's daily schedule has the potential to be a bit different. Therefore your daily schedule is often determined by the age of the children in the household and based on the individual needs of your host family.
- Your responsibilities will be focused on tutoring your host children in English, and helping them practise the language.
- If the host family's children are enrolled in school, then your schedule will be based on providing support before and after the school day. If you're caring for infants or younger children, then your schedule will likely be more fixed during the middle of the day.
- No one day will be the same if you pursue an English Tutor position in China - you will have the chance to teach and care for children while also living in an amazing country with a myriad of opportunities to travel and explore.
For example, your day might include
- Accompanying your host child(ren) on their ride to school with the family's driver and reading them stories along the way
- Planning English lessons and tutoring your child(ren) in English (e.g. reading, phonics, vocabulary, etc.)
- Accompanying the family's driver to pick up the host child(ren) from school and playing vocabulary game on the way home
- Playing games with the host child(ren), singing, dancing, reading stories
- Helping the host child(ren) with English homework
- Joining family activities, and sharing your own culture with the host family
English tutoring responsibilities
- English tutoring is the number one reason most Chinese host families would like to host you in their home. Your main responsibilities are therefore as an English tutor and an "elder sibling". You will have the opportunity to experience authentic Chinese culture by engaging in the family’s activities as well.
- Deliver 1.5-2.5 hours of planned English lessons on a daily basis to the host children
- Help the children to learn a second foreign language (optional)
- Carry out fun activities with the children to help them learn English (e.g. reading stories, sharing English songs, drama role-play and games)
- Help the children with their English homework and studies
- Help the parents to practice their English (optional)
Other responsibilities
- Waking up the children
- Taking/picking up children to/from school
- Playing with the children
- Taking the children on outings to park, playgrounds and other activities
- Going shopping and travelling with host family
- Sharing some light house work
