You have a great attitude for a kindergarten teacher, it suits you very well.

Really appreciate the passion and the information here. After 3 years in corporate, a move from the US to the U.K, and a dynamic shift, I’ll be moving to China to teach as well! I worked with kids for a few years in my college and high school days and I’ve always known my passion is in that field. Ready to be that WWE star again like I was in ski instructing. Just letting kids learn and have a good time! Thanks so much

Hi, just found your Video and what you said in this video was word for word me back in 2015 when i went to work at a (huge) Private Kindergarten in Shunde - near Foshun in Guangzhou. At that time i was only on 11, 000 RMB and was sending most of my money home to save my bills sadly -but still had a great life in China. I have a bachelor of Education and ESOL cert and at that time 10 years teaching. im still in touch with a few of my foreign teacher friends from there and my only wish was i got more money like what you are getting now - then i migh have stayed longer. I loved my time in China. oh im from New Zealand.

I am currently considering an English teaching job in China now. Thank you for this information. How difficult was it to buy your home there in China?

My girlfriend and I are going to earn our Bachelors degrees and our TEFL just some months from now and we plan to come teach in China. I’m from the US and she is from the UK. We are excited but also a bit daunted and I know that salaries are down a bit after Covid, but do you think us having a combined income will help significantly? Not sure if it’s going to even out or not. My math says we’ll be living great but I’m doing whatever I can to prepare for realities.

Also, in general I’d love to speak to you about possibly linking us up for a job opportunity? Just some networking. I hear lots of people whom have been teaching in China for some years say that we should only take 25k minimum and we would love that, but after speaking to people on Reddit and speaking to recruiters, it seems that is not attainable for a beginner, I’ve had recruiters tell me I’ll start at 18k most likely which is fine but obviously it depends on what city we end up in.

Would love to chat about this somehow :)!
Thanks!

Hi Collys, thank you for the detailed information. You hve gained yourself a subscriber. Please I have my bachelor degree and I'm planning to register forTEFL.
Do I need to submit my first degree transcript when applying to teach in China?Thank you.

Subjects other than English get paid more than English Teachers. Physics, math and chemistry all are typically higher salaries. Economics is probably the best chance for top salaries.

Great video! I was wondering if you could give me some advice on what you would do if you were in my situation knowing what you have experienced. I am planning on going to China next year to teach for at least 2-3 years. I am 23 from South Africa and I am going with my girlfriend (22). My girlfriend has a bachelor's degree, and I will at the end of the year have a Physiology and Psychology degree, a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Management and an Honours degree in Psychology. English is our second language, but we are still proficient English speakers considering it is what we use as our study language. There seems to be mixed opinions about the best way to apply for jobs and what we can realistically expect in terms of salary. I am currently busy with a 250-hour TEFL course and my girlfriend a 150-hour TFL course. Any info would help us a lot. Thanks!

How do modern Chinse classrooms operate at a high school/middle school level,
are the students using laptops?

Hey, man! Many, many thanks for the video, I found it very informative and helpful. Since I saw you tend to reply to most of the comments, I'll also explain my situation if you don't mind:

I'm a 22-year-old Spanish guy. Unfortunately, as you mentioned earlier, there's less and less job offers for non-native English speakers and, specially, those who are in their 20s (so yeah, that's pretty much me), but I'm still interested in travelling to China for many reasons, and the thing is that I'm precisely a teacher (music teacher). I have a Pedagogy degree from the Royal Higher Conservatory of Music of Madrid, and already have 3 years of teaching experience (in private academies, public schools, conservatories, and a few others). I'm also thinking of getting the TEFL certificate in a few months.

Would it be a good idea to even think of traveling to China? Would it be worth, and would I have any chance of having a salary as good as yours?

Again, many thanks for your time and dedication on this matter. Have a nice one✌

Hi, do you have to be white or another race other than asian?
I'm asian-Canadian would it be easy for me to get a job teaching in Guangzhou?
Thanks.

[fenxian]

I heard now you need teaching degree, not just any other unrelated degree. I see some high qualified teachers from India, philippine or Russia. Maybe some school like hiring native speakers for personal reason, but it's not required official law.

[alexflips]

What holidays do you get at the school? I mean like how many days holiday?
