help choosing best school

[alisoncita]

Hello all,

I am about to embark on what I hope will be the adventure of a lifetime, and go to work in China (Beijing) as a Teacher. I have been offered so many jobsm but don't want to accept something below standard, as I have 11 years experience and expect to fond a good school. So far, the only interestinf offer I have got is from Languagelink in Beijing, where they offer 12000 RMB a month. If anyone knows of this school or could give me any informationabout other well paid insititutions, I'd be really grateful. Thanks all, Alison

Hi Alison,

If you have experience and a teaching certificate you should apply to international schools around China. There's ones in Beijing, Shanghai, qingdao, Suzhou, Nanjing, and more.

If you have a teaching degree you can earn huge bucks like 25,000 RMB starting a month. (Yes a westerner salary in China.)

You will just teach foreign kids but, it will still have lots of time for trips, learning Chinese if you wish and learning about China.

Have fun,

Simon:)

Hi Alison

I'm sorry, I've been in Beijing for a year now and I've never heard of Language Link. I did see a post from someone else the other day. They were recommending it as a good school to go to. Not sure if that's good enough for you

Anyway, I have a brief list of schools in Beijing here at www.geocities.com/steppingeast/

It's not the greatest list in the world, but to anyone who knows anything about schools in China please fill in the form and lets get the information out there! The biggest problem about being a Teacher in China is the lack of info! So it's up to us teachers to share with each other and spread the word.

Also Alison, once you arrive, please visit the site and let us know what language link is like

Thanks so much.

Mark
