Large classesDepending on where you’re working, your classes could

have between 40 to 60 students in each class. You may see more than 1,000 students each week. It can at times be

difficult to manage a classroom of this size. However, you will have at least one assistant. Plus, this skills will come in

handy when you become a cat herder in the future.

The Administration Compared to the West, China has a flexible view of time. For example, you may not have your work schedule much

in advance. You might sometimes want to describe them as incompetent, but remember they’re trying the best they

can do. Working in an international environment is always challenging.

The parents Get ready for some real insanity. Although most

parents are lovely, you’ll have the minority that can be absolutely crazy. You may need to inflate the students

scores on oral examinations to keep the school and parents happy. Some parents will assume the issue is

the teacher rather than their child.

Course Materials Like every business, the schools try to keep overhead as low as possible. You might think they’ve purchased the textbooks from Mars. Some of your reading materials can be filled with horrible grammar mistakes and the bizarre situations. Just laugh and go with the flow.

Little Emperor SyndromeChildren of urban families, are showered with veneration

and material things from parents, grandparents, and everybody around them. The result is that some Chinese children may seem spoiled compared to children you are used to. However, Chinese children are taught discipline

and respect from a young age which helps counteract any demanding tendencies with teachers.
