Teacher in China, 2021 start dates

If you are looking to broaden your horizons in 2021 why not consider China as your next teaching destination? A number of private international schools have vacancies for KG teachers, primary homeroom teachers and secondary subject teachers for all subjects for August 2021 start dates. The schools are located in all major cities such as Shanghai, Beijng, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shenzhen. When you apply we can discuss more about what preferences you have to help match you to interview with a school that you would be happy to work at.

Schools are offering competitive packages that are very comparable to middle eastern schools once you take into account cost of living in China. Generally schools are offering a salary of between 20000-35000RMB per month before tax. Tax is approximately 10% (when a school offers you they will be able to give you an idea of your after tax salary). Schools are also offering other important expatriate benefits such as provided housing or allowances, airfares, medical insurance and visa costs covered. It is also common for schools to give an end of service completion bonus or an annual bonus. The final makeup of any school package differs from school to school but we can provide you with more specifics prior to your full application. All these elements taken into account make opportunities in China more attractive to international teachers.

The school calendar in China follows the international terms of August through to June with the standard international summer and winter holidays plus the Chinese national holidays such as Spring Festival in February and Autumn Festival in October. Where possible we will provide you with a calendar for the school that you are applying so that you have a clear understanding. School days generally are between 8:30 am-4:00 pm with the timings differing slightly from school to school with some schools having after school activities. Schools in China remain fully open with regular virus prevention controls in place. China has largely kept the virus under control since the initial outbreak which makes it one of the safest countries to live at the moment. Internal travel has been possible at various stages which has been a great outlet for expats living here. China has so much to offer in terms of sights so wherever you are based there is a long list of destinations and adventures to consider.

Salary:
AED 11,000 to 20,000 per month inclusive of fixed allowances.
Additional benefits: Housing allowance or accommodation provided, Flight allowance, medical insurance, visa costs covered
