8 benefits of teaching in China from our teachers
What better way to learn more about the benefits of teaching in China than straight from the people that have lived it! Here, we’ve collated some of the most useful quotes directly from our teachers to help potential candidates looking to make that same leap:
1. It’s easier than you’d think to get started!
“At first I was concerned about the application processes taking a very long time and being unduly intrusive, but actually it was quite simple. The school in China were very helpful telling me the documents I needed to send them (copy of my Degree Certificate, Criminal Record Check and copy of my TEFL Certificate) and all the paperwork was sorted with the Z Visa in my passport within weeks of starting my initial application.”

2. China is a very affordable place to live!
“So far, most of my money has gone on travelling and food, but if I wanted, I could easily save 2/3rds of my wages, and I plan on doing so in a few months.”

3. China is a vast country with a so much to see!
“After 5 and a half years of living and traveling in China I have seen so many diverse and beautiful places. I’m still excited to explore the Northwest, Yunnan and Tibet but I hope to in the near future! I have always traveled by train and love it! Even those 25 hour trips across the country.”

4. You can make a measurable difference!
