Your professional launchpad

Teaching in China can be your starting point to a promising career — that’s why DA has so much to offer. If you’re a native English speaker with a BA and an outgoing attitude, we can place you in a professional environment in a number of cities across this dynamic country.

Learning Chinese, traveling and developing a lifelong understanding of this country’s culture are great resume boosters. And since the continually-expanding and evolving business environment in China is bringing global cultures closer together, getting experience in the Middle Kingdom directly helps all of us. Working with DA is one of the best ways to get your foot in the door and start taking advantage of those life-changing opportunities.

Visa services

Finding and keeping qualified teachers can be difficult and meeting their needs in a foreign country can be even tougher. In addition, schools are faced with the additional challenge of maintaining teachers' legal eligibility to work in China — including the procural of visas, invitation letters and the facilitation of the necessary medical examinations and living accommodations. We have significant experience with visa processing for foreigners residing and working in China, allowing us to handle the visas and remove the burden from schools so you can handle the educating.

Substitute services

We also handle the legwork of maintaining legal, qualified substitutes for your school on a moment’s notice. Substitutes are subjected to a double-pronged hiring process: applicants are interviewed by both Chinese nationals and native English speakers to determine if they’re up to the task.

Depending on your needs, we will hire and maintain a substitute pool or contact list of qualified professionals who are available to substitute in your school. Just let us know!
