Teach English in Guangzhou

Guangzhou is one of China's fastest growing cities. One of the world's most modern, cultural and influential cities. Slightly inland from Shenzhen and located in the rich Pearl river delta region of Southern China, it's no wonder teaching English in Guangzhou is extremely popular for foreign teachers and expats looking to work in China. A large number of highly paid positions are available all across Guangzhou, schools are recruiting all year round and are always in demand of foreign teachers.

Salaries and working hours

Teaching English in Guangzhou offers good salaries with an easier work environment than competing tier 1 cities. For training center work, as a native english speaker (with teaching experience) your salary range is 12,000-15,000RMB per month (After tax). Working hours are standard in training centers at around 20-25 teaching hours per week plus office hours. Additional classes are popular amongst teachers in Guangzhou, taking home an additional 200-250RMB per hour for private students is very do-able.

Working visa requirements

Working visa's are stricter to obtain than other parts of China. To work in Guangzhou you'll need a BA degree or higher qualification, with at least 60 hour TEFL, TESOL or CELTA and at least 2 years post-graduate work experience including reference letters to get the working visa.
If you don't qualify, why not try a city nearby such as Dongguan, Zhuhai or Foshan, all offering very attractive options within 1 hour or so from Guangzhou.
