Lattitude Global Volunteering are seeking a school placement for a sporty, male Chinese teacher for the academic year 2008-2009.

Lu Dongping is 25 years old and has a good degree in English and a qualification in TESL. His overall band score on IELTS is 7.5.

He is a keen basketball and volleyball player and is an enthusiastic follower of English championship football. He lists photography, film and music as his main hobbies.

If you are interested in knowing more about Lu Dongping, please contact me and I can pass on his full application form and interview notes. I have also attached a summary of our Exchange Programme for Chinese teachers... you will see from this, that our teachers come to the UK as volunteers and therefore may earn a maximum of only £89 per week pocket money, plus board and lodging; this represents a good bargain for schools anxious to make savings on employing fully qualified staff. The summary also explains the many other ways that our Chinese teachers can be usefully employed in your schools during their year here.

I would be very happy to put you in touch with Link teachers / mentors in any of the 14 schools in the UK where we currently have Chinese teachers, if you need reassurance about the high calibre of the Chinese teacher volunteers who come to the UK with Lattitude.
