FAQs
You’ve Got Questions. We’ve Got Answers
Do I need a university Degree?
Yes, in order to get a Z class work visa in China for teaching you do need at least a Bachelors Degree in any field.
Do I need to be able to speak Chinese/Mandarin?
No! we do not use any Chinese in the classroom and that is one of the foundation principles in our teaching. (but it might help you get around the city if you can say bao zi and bai jiu)
Can I apply with a friend to be at the same school?
Yes, of course. Plus, we have three campuses that are all within 5 miles of each other so even if you are at another campus it will be close enough that you can hang out with your friend.
Do I need a visa?
Yes, you need a Z-Visa, but do not worry one of our recruitment advisers will walk you through every step of the way. Also, the school will pay for your authentications and visa processing.
Do I need a background check?
Yes, and once again our recruitment advisers will help you get your background check.
Does the school pay for my flight?
We reimburse up to 5,000RMB at the end of teachers for their contracts, so yes you pay it upfront but we get you back in the end.
What is the cost of living like?
Let's give you an example... a three bedroom apartment in a city center in a western country probably a few thousand dollars. That same apartment would be only a few hundred dollars here. This is the case with food, clothing, utilities, housing, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Just be careful because western goods are the same price as at home.
Do I get a bank account and how do we get paid?
Yes, as soon as you get your residence permit we will send a foreign welfare officer with you to help you get your bank account and get direct deposit setup for your paycheck.
Do I have any chances to travel?
Well if you consider 22 paid days off, 4-5 additional days off, 5 personal days off, and a month of in-between contracts if you resign... Oh yeah we have plenty of time and money to travel with our salaries and work hours even on the weekends.
