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 a bachelor's degree and a criminal record check (notarized and apostilled).
Can I teach in China without two years of experience?
The standard is more than two years of language-education experience, but it is waived with a bachelor's in education or language, a teaching certificate from your own country, or a qualified international language teaching certificate, so many first-time teachers still qualify. Without either, a Z visa is not available. Some teachers enter on tourist visas and work informally, but this is illegal, getting caught means deportation, and reputable schools won't hire you that way.
