THE JOURNEY, MADE CLEAR
Passport to Teach guides you through the entire process—from finding the right teaching opportunity to navigating your visa, preparing for the move, and settling into life in China.
You don’t need to figure everything out before you start. We’ll help you understand each step as you get there.
Moving abroad has a lot of details, but you only need to focus on the next clear step.
01 — FIND THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY
Start by telling us about your background, goals, and what you’re hoping to get from teaching abroad. We’ll help you explore suitable matches, prepare for conversations with schools, and compare the opportunities that make sense for you.
Tell us about yourself → Talk with an advisor → Explore matches → Interview with schools
You’re not expected to choose from random overseas job listings on your own. The goal is to narrow the search to opportunities that actually make sense for you.
02 — MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION
Getting an offer is exciting, but moving internationally is a big decision. We’ll help you understand compensation, schedules, responsibilities, location, housing options, and included benefits before you commit.
Review the opportunity → Understand the offer → Compare options → Choose what’s right for you
Our goal isn’t simply to get you to accept an offer. It’s to help you feel confident about the opportunity you’re accepting.
03 — GET READY TO MOVE
Once you’ve accepted the right opportunity, we’ll help turn the move from an overwhelming list of tasks into a clear plan—covering visa documentation, qualification questions, arrival planning, and practical preparation.
Visa & documentation → TEFL & qualification requirements → Housing & arrival planning → Preparing to leave
You’ll know what needs to happen, what comes next, and where to go when you have questions.
04 — BUILD YOUR LIFE IN CHINA
Getting on the plane isn’t the finish line. It’s the beginning of the experience. Depending on the placement, we can help you navigate everyday setup, understand your local environment, and get comfortable in your new role.
Arrive → Get set up → Start teaching → Keep in touch
Our support doesn’t stop because you’ve started the job.
