The crazy fact You might be surprised to know that most English teachers

in China are local Chinese. These are your biggest competition, although you receive a much higher paycheck

than a Chinese teacher.

English Teaching SalaryThe salary of English teachers all depends on the type of school and location. The average teaching salary in China

can vary anywhere between 6,000 to 16,000 RMB ($940 to 2,500 USD). You can earn up to 30,000 RMB if you get an opportunity to teach English in an international school.

Where will you be teaching? If you’re teaching English in a small town or remote

part of the country such as Sichuan and Henan Province, then you can expect a lower salary, but

living costs will be extremely low. Teaching in big cities like Beijing, Guangzhou, or Shanghai is where you will

receive a higher salary along with a comparatively higher living cost.

Public SchoolsPublic schools in China offer a starting salary between

6,000 and 10,000 RMB per month as an employee of the Chinese government. You’ll be expected to teach students

with multiple skill levels or bounce between schools to earn this amount by working 16 to 25 hours per week.

Private Language InstitutesPrivate language institutes in China pay anywhere between

6,000 and 16,000 RMB per month to their teachers. This varies on where you’re teaching, the type and level of

education, and your years of experience. In such conditions, your salary level can increase to between

10,000 and 20,000 RMB along with dental care, signing bonus, and other benefits.

UniversitiesTeachers in various universities, including private and

public, can earn between 7,500 to 10,000 RMB per month. Along with all the usual benefits offered to foreigners in
