2. China has the highest number of
foreigners from Western countries in
Asia.

3. The country has a huge population that needs
English teachers. This is probably why most
westerners prefer teaching English in China.
However, the Chinese government has set
some minimum requirements that must be
met before one can be an English teacher.
Before addressing these requirements, let’s
take a look at some benefits of teaching
English in China.

4. Benefits of Teaching English
in China as a Foreigner

5. • A juicy monthly salary of 8000-22000 RMB.
• Free flights and airport pickup.
• Health insurance coverage.
• Most schools offer free housing.
• A working visa or Z-VISA
• If you don’t want to live in the house
provided, some schools offer a housing
allowance.
• A contract completion bonus.

6. Those are just some of the goodies you will
enjoy by being an ESL teacher in China. Keep in
mind that these benefits will vary depending on
the city and teaching level.

7. Do I need to have a TEFL/CELTA certificate, a
degree, and two years of experience to teach
ESL in China? In China, each teaching job
comes with different requirements hence not
all foreigners will get the position they want.
For example, teaching English in Chinese
public schools requires fewer requirements
than those of international schools. Here are
the minimum requirements.

8. A 120-hour TEFL/CELTA Certificate Unlike other
countries, China doesn’t have a problem with foreigners
who have taken TEFL online classes. TEFL classes will
give you the skills required to handle a class for 6-8
hours per day. Taking online classes is cheaper and
convenient, but you won’t have the practical
experience. Keep in mind that teaching in a foreign
classroom is different from teaching in your home
country, and this is why you need a 120+ hour TEFL
certificate. Teachers who haven’t taken TEFL courses
have problems in teaching Chinese students.

9. Bachelor’s Degree Foreigners from the UK and
Australia should have a 3-year Bachelor’s
degree while those from US and Canada
should have a 4-year degree. Owning a
graduate degree will open more doors for you
if it’s an education-related degree. In fact,
teachers with a Bachelor’s degree and many
years of teaching experience are highly sought
for management positions in China.

10. Teaching Experience Most schools in China require
ESL teachers to have a minimum of 2 years’
experience in teaching. This is why it’s not a good
idea to travel across the world to start your career.
However, there are some schools that provide
excellent training to young foreigners. For
example, you might spend about six months as a
camp counselor where you will participate in
various volunteer work with children. If you offer
tutoring services, put it in your teaching
experience resume with references.

11. Native English Speaker Most schools in
China require native English speaking
teachers. Therefore, foreigners from UK,
US, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland,
Australia and South Africa have better
chances of getting hired. However,
foreigners from other countries may be
accepted if they meet the minimum
requirements but will be paid less.

12. Mature and Professional Personality You
should be friendly and outgoing. Schools need
extroverts, not introverts. For instance, if you
are going to teach children, be ready to be
asked to do silly things. At the same time, you
should show some level of maturity and
professionalism.

13. Resume Tips This section contains the best
teaching experience CV examples that will
land you a job in China. First, there are
some guidelines that should be followed
when writing a teaching experience
resume.

14. Here’s a good personal summary:

school teacher with fifteen years of
teaching experience.
