Teaching in China: The Schools, the Pay, the Experience

An Informative Piece for Anyone Seeking Work in China

China is the hub of business these days; its economy is growing at an alarming rate, its mass consumption of resources in order to meet growing needs, a little shocking. But there is no denying that with this growth comes the need for English. For some years now China has been in need of English teachers with whom they hire from overseas. Bright and adventurous young college students seeking out a new experience overseas are never in short supply, and it seems now, more than ever, China is one of the first destinations to be considered. Why? Well, China has a mass number of schools seeking teachers. The cultural aspects as well are quite appealing, and China has a lot to offer in that way. However, that doesn't stop far too many teachers (college students or otherwise) from signing with disreputable schools, or going over with visions tainted by life in their own country. Before going to China, and most importantly before choosing a school, its important to know the options, what to expect, what you should demand, and what locations would suit you best.
