Jobs in Asia

I’m so glad I joined the Management Training Program with RMC Asia! I learned a lot while training at a 5-star Marriott hotel in Phuket, but honestly the experience was so much more than just work. It helped me become more confident, meet amazing people, and experience what it's like to work in an international environment. One of my favorite parts was meeting friends from all over the world, we literally became best friends! 🥹 We explored Phuket together, celebrated Songkran for the first time which was SO much fun, and made memories I'll never forget. Super grateful for this opportunity and would definitely recommend it to anyone who's thinking about joining!

Fun, learning, laughter, and family bonding made this an unforgettable and life-changing journey.

I’m so grateful for this opportunity. It was nerve-racking at first, but I’m so glad that I went for it. I met so many amazing people and my host family was amazing! I saw so many beautiful views and monuments during my time in Spain, as well as other countries I traveled to while out there. I highly recommend this to everybody who is willing to take the leap.

Thank you Kaitlyn for taking the time to leave this review. We're glad you had a positive experience. We're here anytime you need us and thank you again. It was an honour having you as a part of The Cultural Exchange Project in Spain.

My teaching internship was one of the best experiences I could've asked for. My first month in December was getting my TEFL certification/course and meeting other volunteers. I loved this part as it was a great way to meet people instantly and get accustomed to your new environment. Afterward, my NGO helped me get my accommodation, and I began teaching English. I loved the school I was placed in. The teachers and students were so welcoming and kind. Once March was over, it was time for the students to go on school break, which allowed me plenty of time to travel and explore Thailand. The culture is so rich, full of love, and undeniably incredible. I would do this project time and time again. RealStep helped me SO much in the beginning and helped me get accustomed to my NGO in Thailand. Both companies were amazing, and I couldn't have asked for a better support team.

I think these were the most exciting and interesting six months I’ve had so far! This program offers a lot, language courses, cultural activities and a lot of support. The whole application process was very easy and smooth. The only thing one has to consider is that it’s always a bit unpredictable if it’s going to workout with your first host family. I’ve had the experience of changing families and I have to say that LoPair offered me a lot of help and support during that time. I didn’t feel alone and always had my local coordinator Mickey by my side. In the end I had such a lovely host family, I couldn’t have wished for a better match. They introduced me to the Chinese culture and showed me a lot of new places. I got to see many different places in China, with my host family and on my own! I think if you decide to join such a program you need to be able to communicate a lot and openly. It’s always about keeping an open mind and communication. Especially since one is entering a totally new environment and culture. Some cultural differences are normal! This program also offers a few cultural activities. For Christmas the agency invited the Au Pairs and their host families to a bakery to bake cakes. Overall I just wish we would have had a few more cultural activities. The language courses that are offered vary from the time of ones application. A few of my fellow Au Pairs went to a language school, while me and another Au Pair could attend a language course at an University. My first semester I had uni mostly in the morning for three hours every day. The course was intense but very fun! I got to meet so many new people from all countries. It’s such a good opportunity to meet and connect with people. So if one has the chance to take the course at Uni, I definitely suggest to take it! It will be a bit more time consuming but it’s worth it! Overall I would say this program is perfect for people who are looking for a new environment and experience. I can recommend going with LoPair to China!

I could not be more grateful for my experience abroad. I have learned so much about myself and the world through this journey. My favorite part has been getting to know my host family and their culture. I feel so lucky to have met them and to know that I have developed a meaningful friendship that will last me a lifetime. I highly recommend a travel abroad experience to anyone who is considering it– mine has truly changed my life!

Thanks, Livia. We can tell you the family raved about you and would love to have you back over and over. :-) Thank you for doing such an amazing job for the family and the children. We're lucky to have worked with you on the Spain program.

I spent my summer in Beijing through the LoPair summer programme and it was the best summer of my life. I highly recommend LoPair and the summer programme particularly for any students like me who had some time between terms at university. I absolutely fell in love with China on my time here as I got to see so much of Beijing on my days off and while out with my host family. I also got to see Hangzhou (for orientation before heading to Beijing) and Shanghai at the end of my trip thanks to my host family! I would say that you should expect to be challenged by this experience but with the right mindset you’ll leave a new and improved person. Integrating into Chinese life, trying new food, learning to use chopsticks, appreciating a different culture and making lots of memories and friends were just some of the many things I gained from this experience. It was a lot of fun but I also left so much more confident and capable as an individual. I became very close with my host family and sibling and became part of their family life, enjoying meals together and spending time with them in their daily lives. I felt so comfortable during my stay at their home. I also really enjoyed the mandarin classes provided by LoPair! In just 2 months I felt like I had a pretty good understanding of Chinese and the group classes were always really fun and a great way to meet other au pairs. I would never have been able to do anything as unique as this had it not been for the LoPair summer programme and I am SO grateful that a classmate recommended it to me. The process was all really smooth, from the admin before you leave to getting oriented in China and the support you feel along the way.

I have been an au pair with Lopair for quite some time now, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. I have extended my 6-month program three times already! The reason I keep extending is because I absolutely love China and my host family, who have been incredibly kind and welcoming. Lopair has been instrumental in making my experience smooth and enjoyable. Whenever I face any issues, their support team is quick to resolve them in a timely manner. Their dedication to ensuring a positive experience for their au pairs is truly commendable. One of the highlights of being with Lopair is their monthly cultural events. These events are not only fun but also provide a great opportunity to immerse myself in Chinese culture and meet other au pairs. It's a fantastic way to learn and grow while having a great time. Also, learning Mandarin in China has been a wonderful challenge, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's an incredible opportunity to immerse myself in the language and culture. Overall, the key to being a successful au pair in China is communication and choosing the right host family. Lopair excels in both these aspects, making it a top choice for anyone considering becoming an au pair in China. If you would like to know more about Lopair and my experience, feel free to ask Lopair for my contact information.

There aren’t enough words to describe what an incredible experience I lived in my stay in China. The six months I spent in Shanghai passed by in a blink of an eye, my days where filled with so many new things to do, to learn that I couldn’t feel the time quickly flowing. Being an Au pair in china hasn’t been just a life experience, but a whole mesmerising, thrilling adventure. Thanks to my host family I had the chance to travel a lot all around the country, and during these travels I found myself more and more in awe of this enthralling land that is China with its traditions, customs and language. I’ve dive into Chinese tea culture in Shanghai, lost myself in Guilin peaceful landscapes, ate insects in one of Dali’s ancient markets, jumped back in time to the Tang dynasty in Xian, transformed into a beautiful ancient China princess in Hangzhou ( I completely fell in love with the Hanfu ?), I tried Chinese traditional hotpot, barbecue sticks and walk my feet off in the thriving Chinese capital. Not only did I have the chance to discover and bath in Chinese culture but also to make a lot of friends from all over the world that added to my experience the possibility to exchange opinions and learn from each other. All of this of course wouldn’t have been possible if not for the Lopair program that organised my six months here in China and helped me throughout the whole journey, being always ready to solve problems and set up awesome activities that became awesome memories. I thank everyone that supported me and helped me during this journey and all the awesome people I've met, and for all the newcomers I strongly recommend you to jump right into this new adventure ?? What was the most surprising thing you saw or did? Surely eating insects, one of the several experiences I won't ever forget ? Pros: Friends Cultural exchange Travelling

Dear Rebecca, We feel very fortunate to have you with us, we look forward to welcoming you again in the future and all our best for your future pursuits! Regards, LoPair Team

It might sound cliche but it really was the best ever experience of my life. I can't wait to come back to China again soon. I was able to experience some of the most surreal views including grassland, Asia's First wet land and many more landmarks. I was also able to meet really awesome people including the lovely Diana and other au pairs. The monthly meet ups organised by Diana gave me a great opportunity to socialise and try archery (something I have never done before ?)

I stayed for six months in Shanghai with a lovely host family who were super kindhearted and always willing to teach me more about Chinese culture and way of life. My host family had one 12-year-old boy whom I helped with English homework and sometimes played badminton and golf with. I attended Mandarin Chinese classes every week, which helped me to improve my language skills greatly. I also had the opportunity to experience traditional holidays such as the Chinese New Year, as well as travel around China a little bit. Lopair agency was very helpful and friendly with me. I really enjoyed the cultural activities they organized, such as a Chinese traditional tea ceremony and museum visits. I was lucky enough not to encounter many problems during my stay, but for the difficulties I did have, Lopair did their best to solve them quickly. Overall, I had a really positive experience with the program and China, and I am already planning to return soon. I would recommend the program to anyone who wishes to gain a closer look at Chinese culture and everyday life. Living with a local family is an excellent opportunity to get to know the country. I am very grateful for the great experience. A big thank you to Lopair for a well-organized and memorable program!

Thank you to Lopair I had the opportunity to live the experience that I was not able to have in University due to the pandemic situation. All the staff was extremely helpful through all the process and helped me in time of difficulty. I highly recommend this experience to someone who wants to have a powerful insight on Chinese culture and the daily lives of Chinese people. Depending on the city and the family the experience can vary a lot from person to person so it's important to ask the right questions at the begging to the staff who is always very kind and ready to answer your concerns. I am so grateful to the agency for making this experience possible!

EA contracted everything out to ski instructors on the ground. These instructors (who also had their own businesses to manage) were unable to effectively manage a very variable situation on the ground (lack of snow etc). I believe this is due to a lack of support from EA. Training itself (which the instructors were actually trained in) was very effective and good fun. Accommodation was variable; some had good beds (with storage etc), others did not. A day for looking over equipment was promised but not provided. Overall I would say it was a good experience but could easily have been provided for far less.

Hi Luc, we appreciate your feedback and are glad you had a good experience overall.  We want everyone to be ready and qualified in time to begin work when the season is in full swing. We put in a lot of work alongside our on-ground staff to prepare everyone for exams despite the challenging early season conditions this year. It’s great to hear you found the training valuable and thanks for choosing us to be a part of your journey. -The EA Team

During the summer of 2023 I spent 3 months in Beijing China. I had an amazing experience with my host family and was very lucky to get along with my little brother, who was 11. We spent much time together and fun. It’s overall a magical experience to everyone who wants to live in a different environment and experience new things and food.

My goals for this program are honestly just to relax and make the most of this experience, to utilise it as a chance to grow as a person. I was able to do a weekend trip with my host family to Naples at the end of July :) It was really nice being a part of the family while traveling. My host father likes to play The Clash and AC/DC while cooking. That gets everyone in the house excited for dinner and family time. Very different from my own home. Being in Sardinia, I am spending a lot of time at the beach. The beaches are phenomenal, wild yet so serene. I feel very at peace here! I definitely recommend purchasing and bringing alone a guidebook to wherever you will be visiting. I know you can Google places, but sometimes the WiFi service isn’t good. Having a reliable guidebook has come in handy. I’ve enjoyed this program because I get to travel. I have been to Golfo Aranci, Porto Rotondo and Palau, which are just north of where I am staying in Olbia. I’ve also been to the Tomb of Giants and Castello di Pedres archaeological sites, and I am hoping to go to Asinara Island, home to the Sardinian albino donkeys! It’s a great program.

I loved that the course was flexible and could be worked into my schedule when I had time. I didn’t have to commit to a certain day a week for student teaching or class observations. I could do the whole course at home in the evenings when my kids were in bed. I liked the logical sequence the class followed and that it didn’t just teach you English grammar, but taught you how to be a better teacher, which can be used for other teaching aspects than just TEFL. The course is very much worth the money for anyone who wants a certificate to teach English abroad.

TEFL Pro is an amazing program that taught me a lot about teaching abroad. I found the lessons on lesson planning for reading, listening, speaking and writing so wonderful. I learned ways to structure my lesson in a clear way. Any questions I asked they answered it even if it was nothing to do with the course. The videos and the example lesson were so helpful to see insight on the practicality of the plan. This course was so amazing. Will totally recommend it!
