Advice to new teachers in China (2024)

Here I asked teachers with some experience of living in China for advice to those who want to come and work here. Every trip to another country is an adventure which can be even better if you know a few things in advance - forewarned is forearmed! Local and international teachers from different parts of the world share their thoughts.

I guess a couple of main questions that potential teachers ask is, am I good enough, and what grade in school will I be placed in? Are teachers in front of a class, talking eight hours a day, five days a week? As the BRICS countries unite and grow in number, the idea of becoming a teacher in China becomes more tempting.

Hi Aleksander, I’m 21, a native English speaker (from Australia) and I don’t have a bachelors degree, but I am able to get a z visa through the points system (I have a vocational skills certificate plus other requirements to pass the points system.) currently I’m doing my tefl Cert diploma which I’ve almost finished, and I’ve started looking for jobs online and on WeChat, I discussed that I don’t have a bachelors degree but I can get through the points system and recruiters from schools as well as agencies said it’s alright and it is correct that I’m able to get through the points system .

Based on your long teaching experience in China is it possible to get an English teacher job in China as a Native speaker without a bachelors degree?
