Teach English professionally in Shanghai

Perfect for new teachers, the school specializes in young learners with classes for all ability levels. You will get comprehensive training and you can expect a professional – yet welcoming – atmosphere. The school is located in the district Qingpu in Shanghai, China’s biggest and most exciting city. Home to a bustling international business community, there is no shortage of English learners and fellow expats who also came to teach English in China.

17,000 - 20,000 RMB per month (depending on experience and qualifications).
22 days paid holiday.

Completed pre-travel health check form, signed by appropriate doctor(s) (form provided by the school).

The district of Qingpu

The district of Qingpu, where the school is located, allows for a superb quality of life. Qingpu has most of the amenities of downtown Shanghai but has a slower pace and a more Chinese ‘feel’. Living downtown can often feel like you are in just another western city, but Qingpu never lets you forget you are living in China. Foreign staff may choose to live in Qingpu town, or 12 kilometers to the west in a small developing 500-year-old water town called Zhujiajiao (pronounced jew-jaw-j-oww). With its small ancient canal town and rural population, many foreign staff members have chosen to make this their home. The cost of living in both suburban towns is 30-40 percent cheaper than it is living downtown. While you teach English in China you’ll have more money left to travel around the country and nearby countries, pay off student loans, or start a nest egg.

Additional Benefits

22 days paid holiday. A fully sponsored Z-visa (work visa), residence permit, work permit, and Foreign Expert Certificate. Hospitalization and accidental injury insurance reimbursement up to 1,300 RMB. 1,000 RMB housing allowance. 5,000 RMB performance bonus. 5,000 RMB contract completion bonus. 5,000 RMB re-signing bonus.
