WEEKDAY DAYTIME
Learn Mandarin
Monday to Friday usually begins with Mandarin classes and personal time while the children are at school.
AFTER SCHOOL
Be there for the children
When the children return home, you share English, play and support their evening routine until bedtime.
REST & FAMILY TIME
Plan around family life
Your 1.5 days of weekly rest are generally arranged on weekdays. Weekends and holidays are usually shared with the family through activities and time with the children.
BEYOND THE SCHEDULE
Make China
part of your story.
Free time is yours to shape. Travel with your host family, explore a new neighbourhood or meet the Yohoo community for a cultural afternoon.
CULTURAL CONFIDENCE
We help the unfamiliar
feel possible.
Orientation covers communication styles, family expectations, transport, payments, personal safety and useful Mandarin. Your coordinator can help you navigate misunderstandings before they become problems.
