Many students looking to live in China and make a living enroll in the China Study Abroad teaching program. CSA can offer guaranteed teaching placement that, at the minimum, will adequately pay for living expenses. More and more Chinese people have realized that being fluent in English is a requirement for upward mobility. Private English teaching schools are desperate for native speakers to teach this growing market. Applicants that apply for a full-time year-long program or longer are guaranteed free accommodation. Schools only require that students be at least 18 years of age and be a native English speakers.

Teaching positions range from part-time one-on-one tutoring to full-time class teaching. All students in CSA Mandarin language programs are offered free teaching placement. Past students have taken part-time teaching work during weekends, off-time, and holidays to supplement their expenses. Other students spend a semester studying full-time, after which they take on full-time teaching positions.

Those applying to the teaching program separate from Mandarin language programs are required to pay a $500 USD fee, which offers guaranteed full-time teaching placement as well as all the other benefits of the CSA program, including airport pick up and drop off, welcome pack, orientation, and 24-hour emergency service. Applicants for full-time teaching programs must commit for longer than 3 months.

CSA employees will do their best to find teaching positions that fit your unique skill-set and requirements. Wages are dependent on teaching experience, level of education and the individual schools, but typically vary between $14-28 USD an hour. Full-time teachers typically work 30-40 hours a week. However, part-time positions are still well-paid and working hours can as little as 5-10 hours a week.

Class sizes depend upon the school, ranging from 5-30. Some teachers teach night classes to adults, while others teach children during the day. All schools provide teaching materials and training. Many have standardized curricula and lesson plans they require for all classes, but others may be less strict, allowing for individual teaching styles. Regardless, teaching requires an extended amount of patience and people skills. However, English teachers often have full-time native Chinese teaching aides to help out with classes as well as the occasional translation problem.

When applying, please make sure to detail your work experience, teaching preferences, and time-commitment. Many CSA students have found teaching English to be an invaluable experience, not only for monetary reasons but also for getting to know Chinese people on an interpersonal level.
