We Care!
Our top priority is to ensure that the young men and women who invest a year in the lives of Chinese students are successful in every way. As a caring parent eager to provide for your son or daughter's best interests, there may be questions or concerns that you have about the China Teaching Fellowship (CTF). This web page is provided to address some of the concerns that you may have.

We Are Monitoring Current Events
ELIC (English Language Institute/China, parent organization to CTF ) is constantly monitoring world events and how they relate to the countries we serve in Asia. To ensure the complete safety of teachers in all the countries we serve, ELIC is in regular contact with the U.S. State Department as needed as well as all overseas staff. The safety and well-being of our teachers is our primary concern.

Asian Governments Give Full Support
Governments in the countries we serve have given their full support to ELIC and all North Americans within their borders. ELIC teachers are invited guests of a branch of the Chinese educational bureau. All of our visas and contracts are handled through that governmental body. We have worked closely with them for 28 years ensuring the safety, comfort and success of thousands of ELIC teachers.

We're Here To Keep Our Teachers Safe
ELIC has been sending teachers to Asia for more than 28 years. Our staff in Asia and North America is dedicated to ensuring the safety of every single one of our teachers.

In-Country Support
In addition to a full U.S. support staff serving the hundreds of young adults who serve with us each year, ELIC also maintains field offices in every country we serve. Our Beijing staff will be in contact weekly with each of our CTF teams to make sure everything is going well. In addition to the field offices, the China Teaching Fellowship provides an experienced team leader for each school who acts as a liaison between the school and the teacher. The CTF Director visits each team at least once during the ten months they are in Asia. Our North American office is in communication with our field offices in case of emergencies or questions.
