When I first arrived in China in October 2024 I was afraid it would not work out, but it was everything that I wanted and more. I met lovely families and lovely children and had lovely support from Wanderlust Exchange. It was truly amazing to experience different cultures and different ways of living.

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Beijing

Teaching Jobs in Beijing

China is in the midst of a huge development boom and persistently looks to the West as a model of productivity by which to facilitate its own growth. As such Western teachers are highly sought after in Beijing as part of a the country’s continuous effort to globalize. Teaching jobs in Beijing are open to English-speakers in a wide variety of formats across the city, so research as many different options as you can while searching for the perfect program.

As you may have guessed, teaching English is the easiest way to teach abroad in Beijing. Chinese students begin learning English from a very young age, so it is possible to teach abroad in Beijing at virtually any level from preschool to adult learners if you go this route. Public and private schools tend to offer international educators great benefits and don’t often require any prior teaching experience. Private tutoring is another path that many international teachers choose to take, either independently or in supplement to their teaching job.

While positions teaching other subjects such as science and math are more rare in Beijing, it is also possible to expand into these areas by teaching abroad at an international school where English is the medium of education. At most schools you will usually be required to teach between 20-30 hours per week, leaving you plenty of time to explore the city.
