Thanks for the video. It was nice to hear their opinion, and I know it will be hard to get specific but even general rough estimates would be really helpful because expensive and cheap are so relative. I feel like everyone said you can have a pretty good life for not too much money or it’s really affordable which isn’t the most helpful. But still cool information thanks for the video

Hi Michael. I agree with you. It's not very easy to be accurate about living costs. What I believe most expats in China agree on is that foreigners get paid at least double the average local salary. Also, if you live "like the locals", you will be able to save up a lot of money. (Personally, I was able to save between 50-70%) Most jobs for English teachers will offer accommodation as well. Therefore, it all comes down to each one's lifestyle. What can be expensive in China is if you buy a lot of imported products or eat at Western style restaurants. Thanks for the comment =]

Hello Peter. That is absolutely true. The city you choose will play a major role in the cost of living, but HOW you live in China will directly affect your cost of living. Thanks for the comment =]

Hey Tim! That's great that you were able to spend 3 years in Shanghai. I've been to Shanghai a couple of times, but I am not sure about the living costs there. Some of my friends told me that the most expensive thing by far is renting a place there. Thanks for the comment =]

Hey Trevor! I am actually working on a series of videos about teaching English in China. I have interviewed some other expats and I am currently doing my research on specific details like visa, holidays, etc. My piece of advice would be to search for videos on KZitem which aren't older than one year about teaching in China. The requirements usually change every year. And my second piece of advice would be to avoid jobs at English schools (Training Centers). Try to get jobs at public schools (middle school/high school) or public universities. I will get into more details about that when I post the videos here. Thanks for the comment 😃

They had work visas when they were interviewed. If you are married to a Chinese citizen, you can't work in China. Now, in 2023, I believe most of them have left China, including myself.

How much is the salary for ESL Teachers in china ? and how much can you say a good salary is ?
@ReadyGoExpat
3 жыл бұрын
Based on my experience, the basic salary for ESL Teachers in China is usually 7-9K (universities), 10-16K (Language Schools). Of course, some experienced teachers can get much more than that, especially if they live in the largest cities. I believe a good salary is around 14-20k.

@@ReadyGoExpat Just so you know that there will be new legislations being introduced in 2021 to have all foreign registered english teachers take a entry exam to show their levels of qualifications as english teachers. You'll be issued with papers if you passed the exam and must be produced and vetted before being allowed to teach our kids english. There is nothing to worried about if you're a legit qualified english teacher.

@@ReadyGoExpat Then all is well for you sir! I'm not sure that all can claim to be legitimate from wnat we can ascertain from videos like yours online! Hence the new legislations. We just want to ensure that the building blocks of education for our children have a solid foundation and are well structured moving forward right? This new initiative will be looking at the whole structure of foreign teachers and its source which is the agencies and we believe that is where the grey areas are most prominent!
