Teach by the Beach

“Our students, including both their English and their personal growth, are always more important than profit.”

Located in Weihai, one of China’s cleanest and most liveable cities, we are a small school that believes good relationships with our staff make the school better for all, especially our students.

The Job

We are looking for a fulltime ESL teacher on a one year contract. It would be a maximum 24 teaching hours a week and we do not enforce crazy office hours, just a few hours of lesson planning as well as meetings and training mean you would rarely be in school for more than 30 hours a week. Like all ESL private training schools in China, the classes would mostly be on weekends with days off either Monday & Tuesday or Thursday & Friday. Most classes would be teaching 5-15 year olds in fairly small class sizes with some classes during the week in kindergarten. 

The Teacher

While teaching experience is preferred, we would also hire someone who has limited teaching expereince, so long as they show a professional and positive attitude. However, due to laws in China, our teachers must have a bachelor degree, be a native English speaker and have two years work experience in any industry in an English speaking country.

The Package

8000RMB  per month for 1-2 years teaching experience

9000RMB per month for more than 2 years teaching experience

plus airfare, shared accommodation and visa. While it might seem low compared to other cities, in Beijing or Shanghai you might be paying 3-5K a month in rent and spending twice as much. Most schools in larger cities do not provide rent unless they are well outside the city centre. 8,000RMB in Weihai is the equivalent of 14-15 thousand in a larger city. You should be able to save at least half your salary every month.
