Popular Teaching Jobs in Shenzhen
As China’s first Special Economic Zone (SEZ), Shenzhen is a rapidly developing city. It receives massive foreign investment and, as such, provides plenty of chances for teachers to find their place, be it on a small scale or as highly qualified educator in some of the best universities of China.
Public schools, universities, and tutoring centers. If you’re looking to teach English in Shenzhen, English teachers are needed at all levels in public schools, from preschool to adult learners. Another option to teach is as a homestay tutor, which is generally well paid. If you are qualified in another field, you can teach business English classes in corporate training places. University jobs are also available, and they tend to pay average rates, but they sometimes throw in airfare and housing, so it’s worth checking the terms and conditions.
Short-term vs. long-term teaching jobs. Most of the teaching positions (especially teaching English in Shenzhen) are for a full year, but you could also find programs that are for a few weeks or months The salary range starts at $1000 a month for most public sector jobs, which allows for a comfortable lifestyle. Some international schools even pay up to four times as much, which funds a rather luxurious time in Shenzhen.
Teaching English vs. teaching other subjects. English teaching jobs are widely available and in high demand — they usually will pay for airfare and housing as well. Non-English teaching jobs are limited, but still available in international schools in Shenzhen, especially to teachers who have some level of understanding of Mandarin. You can attend Mandarin classes yourself, which at times is part of your program.
