Why Study TEFL in Beijing, China

Beijing is China's huge capital city, and although it hasn't always been China's capital it boasts a long history and several world-famous monuments. And despite the crackdowns of the Cultural Revolution, Beijing's monuments - religious, royal and otherwise - remained intact.

Tiananmen Square is the center of the city, and the fascinating Forbidden City - one-time home of the Chinese Emperors - is right next door. The Great Wall of China is also an easy day-trip from Beijing. The city is well-known for its cuisine, including the famous Beijing Duck, and as China continues to modernize the need for English speakers continues to grow. The job opportunities here for qualified English teachers are excellent.
