Why teaching in china

China, one of the largest and most historically rich nations in the world, boasts over 5,000 years of civilization. It offers breathtaking landscapes, including vast mountain ranges, highlands, plains, basins, and hills, as well as a diverse and vibrant culture. Since the introduction of the Open-Door Policy in the late 1980s, the English education industry has expanded rapidly, creating a soaring demand for foreign teachers. Today, even kindergartens actively seek foreign educators, not to mention the numerous opportunities available in primary and secondary schools.

Now is an opportune moment for foreign job seekers to take advantage of this growing demand and apply their expertise. In return, teaching in China will offer you the chance to experience:

  • Competitive Salary

    In cities like Shanghai, the average local income is around 12300 RMB per month in 2024. However, an experienced foreign teacher can expect to earn between 17,000 and 28,000 RMB. Even in second- and third-tier cities, foreign teachers typically receive salaries ranging from 17,000 to 20,000 RMB—about 2-3 times the average local wage. With the relatively low cost of living, including affordable food, rent, and daily necessities, it's easy to save a significant portion of your income.
