TEFL Jobs China

China is the third largest country in the world. It is also one of the most rapidly-growing economies and one of the biggest English language learning markets. With English compulsory for students from the age of nine, and studying overseas a popular option for teachers and students alike, the demand for English Language teachers is continually growing and the opportunities are endless.

It is both challenging and rewarding to take up a teaching job in China. As a language teacher you will be valued and respected by your pupils; quite a refreshing experience compared to teaching young rebels in a summer school in the UK. You are also well looked after as a TEFL teacher in China. A teaching salary there will allow you to live well by local standards. The school you work for will often provide you with free medical care and paid holidays will enable you to travel. And with travel being so cheap, you will soon discover a huge range of fascinating sights reflecting the country’s powerful past: the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Terracotta Warriors at Xian are just a couple of must-sees.

Immersing yourself in Chinese culture in the classroom on a daily basis and studying some of the language in your free time will make your teaching an immensely rewarding learning experience, and you’ll feel a great sense of personal achievement upon your return.
