To date, Omeida Academy has welcomed thousands of students from different backgrounds to study through our programs and bespoke academic activities.

Be A Volunteer
If you’re on a budget and looking to save some while learning Chinese, you can help support the English Academy’s students by engaging in a conversation with them or help us with other needs for 2 hours on a daily basis like marketing, blog writing, photography, video editing, website maintenance and development, and many others. In exchange, we will provide you with a discounted tuition fee and other perks.
This volunteer program provides you with a chance to experience ‘real’ China and get some international work experience. You will also meet many Chinese students who are learning English, so you can ask any burning questions like “What is the translation of Coca-Cola in Chinese?” and “Does the Government really make it rain?”
