Our Teach in China program is an amazing opportunity to live and work in China. Unlike our other programs, you don’t live with a host family abroad. Instead, you teach in a local school and live in your own private apartment. Not only do you have your own place, but you also get a competitive salary (more on that later!). Living in China can be a wonderful adventure. With a myriad of beautiful natural sights and busy city life, you won’t run out of things to do. In China, you can:

• enjoy new foods
• see incredible sights
• make international friends
• learn Mandarin and more

China is also a place of rich history and famous sites. Here you can see incredible sites such as:

• the Great Wall of China
• the Terracotta Army
• the Forbidden City and more

There are 5 different types of schools in China and they are all over the country. You can choose to teach in a medium-sized or smaller city. Or you can teach in locations such as large cities such as Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Zhengzhou, and more.

Without further ado, here are 20 reasons to teach English in China:

   When you teach English in China, you can make a very competitive salary. Average salary is about $1900 to $3000 per month! Your teaching experience and the school type can affect how much money you make. But remember, you don’t have to worry about paying for rent because that’s included in the program. Which brings us to reason number two…
