We are looking for someone with...
Passion for teaching and for helping others
Willingness to talk to others
Willingness to immerse yourself into a different culture
Age: there is no cut off for age, but if you are a freshman or younger you will most likely want to consider SIW Elementary.
Basic proficiency in Mandarin: there isn't a 'cut off' or specific level of proficiency we are looking for, but it is important that you can understand and speak conversationally.
*In general, we want to have a group of people with diverse interests and personalities in order to have a balanced and fun team. We want the students there to get to know as many perspectives from different American students as possible!
Bonus points if you’re good at basketball or likes watching basketball, a good singer, and have a good sense of humor
For SIW high school, a 15-30 minute interview with Rachel will be required. For those interested in SIW: Elementary please contact Sophia Li for an interview. [Interview dates for 2020 are TBD]
Directly contact Rachel to set up an interview through:
wechat ID: rachel_j0928
Cellphone: 512-865-0776
For Sophia:
sophia.li55@yahoo.com
Cellphone: 512-998-7895
Then we will set up a time and place. In the past the default location has been Starbucks in Barnes and Nobles in the Arboretum (with Rachel). But if that is too far, other locations can be arranged. For the last resort a skype/facetime can be arranged as well.
Returning participants will not have to re-interview.
