Teach English in China — Tier 1 Cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen)\n
Are you looking for an exciting adventure abroad while making a real difference in students' lives? We're hiring English teachers from the United States to teach English as a Second Language (ESL) to Chinese students in China's top cities. No teaching experience? No problem — we'll support you every step of the way.
What You'll Be Doing\n
You'll teach English to Chinese students, helping them build real-world speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Classes are fun, interactive, and designed to help students feel confident using English in everyday life.
Salary\n
You'll earn 20,000–30,000 RMB per month, which is approximately $2,975–$4,460 USD per month (based on current exchange rates). This goes a long way in China, especially since many of your biggest expenses — housing, insurance — are already covered by us (see below).
What We Provide\n
- \n
- Free luxury accommodation — a fully furnished, comfortable place to live, so you don't have to worry about rent or setting up a new apartment
- \n
- Free medical insurance — so you're covered for check-ups and emergencies
- \n
- Social insurance — similar to Social Security in the U.S., this helps protect your income and wellbeing while you work here
- \n
- Visa and paperwork support — our team will guide you through every step of the work visa and document process. This is one of the most confusing parts of moving abroad, and we make sure you're never doing it alone
- \n
- A standard 40-hour work week — a healthy, predictable schedule so you have time to explore, relax, and enjoy life in China
