ESL Careers market context
How this pay compares in China
This listing vs. the local range
13,000 RMB/month sits at the lower end of the 10k to 20k RMB per month our China guide lists for universities. It also falls inside the range we publish for public schools.
Visa and paperwork
Z visa. Requires bachelor's, two years of post-graduation work experience, a 120-hour TEFL, and a notarized criminal record check.
What's the salary difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities?
Tier 1 (Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou) pays 30 to 50 percent more, but cost of living absorbs much of that. Tier 2 cities often have better savings rates.
