Teaching English In China {China Shark's Thread}

<< < (5/10) > >>

Philip:
Hi China Shark Mike,
I have an interesting request. One of the lovely translators I made friends with on my visit to the Mei Yin agency in Changsha is looking for translator or teaching work in Shenzen later this year. Her English is very good. I wonder if you could suggest possibilities for teaching work. She even said to me that she could be your teaching assistant! I said I would ask you for advice. She is a fantastic person as well as a great communicator. I don't know what influence you have, but any suggestions would be gratefully received. I am in contact with her via QQ. She is 23 and has a very sunny personality. Sounds like I'm trying to set you up for a date, doesn't it? She IS single. Haha
Thanks,
Alex

China Shark:
Alex send me a private email and then you can pass it on to her. To be honest I am not sure what I can do you I can send out feelers and see if any of my contacts can help her. There is tons of work availible yet the pay for a bilingual is low compared to what they pay me. Would have posted my email on here yet lately there are too many flakes anymore.

Mike, I am considering teaching in Changsha.  You mentioned that you make about 16000 monthly, I am assuming RMB, correct?  You also say between three schools.  Approximately, how many hours per week do you commit to this?   Keep posting, the more you share about your experience the more we can learn and hopefully make a quality decision.  

Thanks, Shaun

China Shark:
Shaun that 16,000 was an estimate of future earnings. A few jobs did not come through because the one school isn't as reliable as I'de prefer. Currently I make 450 rmbs from the small new school for teaching three one hour classes. Regular job is teaching 20 forty minute classes 2,000 rmbs, and the new class I am starting up is a six hour class for 600 rmbs. So I am working 24 classes for 12,200 rmbs a month. I should be picking up more work soon so it will just get better the longer I am here and the more contacts I make. It isn't so much about money as it is about just being content working a job where I am actually respected. The work is here if you are smart and resourceful. I recently just really became lucky by finding a new school that is just starting out, hence higher pay and choices of classes I want to teach in the future. If you are a hardworker you can earn a lot of money here.

Ricky:
I agree with you Mike.  I contacted buckland just the other day and am probably going to start up with them.  I figure that is the best place to get my foot in the door and get some experience before I attempt to freelance it out in Shenzhen, if by that time, I decide to stay there.  Gunning for Guanxi or Hainan for my first assignments
