Due to the double reduction policy, training centers have taken a huge hit, with many closing down. Many foreigners left China during the lockdowns and have not returned, so international schools have suffered, with some under threat of closure. The teaching market has diminished from what it was. I work as a curriculum developer and am fortunate to have a good salary, but the market is shifting. China is increasingly focusing on vocational training due to rising unemployment, and a shift towards a more service-based industry rather than manufacturing. In the current economic climate, this is unlikely to change with a shift towards traditional Chinese cultural concerns rather than any international influence. At an international school outside of Shanghai or Shenzhen, you should be looking at ¥30,00 a month, with Shenzhen more like ¥40,000. There is no reason for anyone to take lower than this unless this agent (as many do) takes a cut of your salary.
I didn't actually get the part about 16-18k rmb working for the private kindergartens in the major cities. I taught in China for almost 6 years and I've never seen the salaries like this for native speakers in Shanghai. Even now I still follow a lot of job agents in Shanghai and check what job ads they post recently. And for the private kindergarten native esl teachers it's at least 22k+, usually it's even higher, like 25k+. And no, even the totally new native teachers fresh off the boat can make 22+, what 16-18 are you talking about? For non natives, yes, sure, they can get 18k, but even non natives wouldn't work for 16k in 2023. And I keep in touch with lots of my former colleagues both natives and non natives. So the question here is - do you really not know what you're talking about? Or you are trying to earn some extra margin on some newbie english teachers, that don't know the market and the current salaries and you can connect them to some shady employers?
We work with local agencies that offer teachers hands-on support during their year and line up free housing which is a key expense in both Shanghai and Shenzhen. They help the teachers with all arrangements concerning settling in like mobile phone contracts, medical tests, residence permits. Given the cultural and language differences, a lot of people need this support to start off in China and find their way. As a company, we help people with this before departure and work with locals partner that offer that support in China. I met with many teachers that went on to higher paying jobs in their secodn and subsequent years in China, and it is indeed possible to earn more over time.
That's quite interesting. I work at a private training center in a prefecture level city and am literally the only foreign teacher. I was surprised to learn that this isn't the norm. My salary is definitely lower than if I were in a big city but it's a great opportunity for Chinese language immersion.
Im American. I've got a Bachelors in public health, Masters in public health and a TEFL. Ive got 3 years of afterschool program experience with K-14. Im also African-American. Do you think I can be hired at an actual school my first year in China? Im trying to avoid train centers simply because of the schedules. Any suggestion or guidance would help....
I am an Irish citizen currently at home in Ireland,I taught in Vietnam previously for 7.5 years do you think recruiters in China would take this in to account when hiring?. Cheers!
My wife is a mainlander, currently we are based in Canada. and we are considering moving to Guangzhou. I know a lot of jobs for teaching are looking for a bachelors degree. I don't have that however I do hold a Diploma from a college here. Do these teaching jobs when hiring view these two things in equal weight?
teacher in China. unfortunately not. its possible to get into china with a diploma. it may be a lot harder because for a work-teaching visa. you need a degree. its not necessarily the job but the legal paperwork.
My understanding is that private training centres can operate Mon-Fri. As the weekends were the cash cow for the privates, being restricted to weekdays mean many operators gave up. Also schools were meant to provide additional classes to make up for the lost opportunities outside the school gates. This may mean parents will take the free additional opportunities in school and avoid the payment -required privates. The real killer for the more children approach is that most couples have bought the standard 2 br Chinese apartment and an additional child may mean up-sizing.

Sorry to hear that! You have the following options: teaching Spanish (you'll need a degree for this). Or teaching a science subject ( if you have a degree in a science subject). Based on your nationality you unfortunately aren't able to get a visa to teach English based on the current rules
Be really careful, not all jobs are good aptions and remember without work permit and residence permit of rhe work type , you can't start working otherwise you will be working illegally
@@colombianaenchina covid was never a problem, it’s the new government policies that struck English teaching platforms however the demand for English still exists.
Based on China's visa rules, it's not possible to be hired as a Jamaiancan teacher to teach English, as the requirements are: graduate from the UK, Ireland, US, New Zealand, Australia, Canada or South Africa, clean background check, TEFL/CELTA/TESOL certificate (you can obtain the teaching qualification after joining the program). However, you can be hired to teach a science subject if you have a degree in a science subject and speak fluent English with a neutral accent.

@@Teachenglishinchina that’s false, Caribbean countries are also recognized as native English speakers. I currently work legally as an English teacher in China with a valid z visa and work permit stating English teacher.
I work in a private school in Qingpu district, Shanghai. My salary is 40k per month after tax and my rent is only 4300 per month (3 bedroom house, 2 floors, brand new modern)...salaries are much higher if you have a teaching license
I've lived in shenzhen for 5 years, and now shanghai for a couple months. schools like QSI (quality school international) based in shenzhen offer 45k per month, so yeah theres plenty of 40k+ schools, but not so easy to get in😝@@hufficag

@@Teachenglishinchina Hie Can I Get your Contact
Hey there, can you please assist me with teaching job in China, I can send my CV to ur mail if necessary
You are correct. 25k would be more normal. Agencies take a cut of the salary, so better to contact schools directly.
Can you please share some of these agents WeChat. I’d very much appreciate it
The Chinese market is booming! China is a powerhouse.
