Nanjing is the birthplace of the Sun Yat-sen Temple and the infamous Nanjing Massacre during World War II, and the entire city is home to more than 30 million people. With such a large population, there is a growing demand for English teachers at all levels of education.<\/p>\n<h2><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/teach-english-in-nanjing\/\" title=\"View all posts in Teach English In Nanjing\" >Teach English In Nanjing<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>In Nanjing, children can enter the field of education at the age of two and a half, so there are <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/teaching\/\" title=\"View all posts in teaching\" >teaching<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/opportunities\/\" title=\"View all posts in opportunities\" >opportunities<\/a> from preschool to primary, middle, high school and university.

Some <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/business\/\" title=\"View all posts in business\" >business<\/a>es are willing to hire tutors specifically to serve their staff, and of course there are quite a few that outsource this work to large local English schools.<\/p>\n<p>There are many different options that you can choose to be a teacher or tutor, but you should be aware of the <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/benefits\/\" title=\"View all posts in benefits\" >benefits<\/a> and pitfalls of each one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Job opportunities for school teachers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Opportunities are available at private language education centres, public and private schools and universities.

The best paying <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/jobs\/\" title=\"View all posts in jobs\" >jobs<\/a> are those located in prestigious private institutions or public universities, which require a bachelor&#8217;s degree, a TEFL certificate and more than two years of <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/teaching-experience\/\" title=\"View all posts in teaching experience\" >teaching experience<\/a>.

Many private English language centers recruit native English speakers to teach in Nanjing, but if you want to go this route, be aware of your visa situation.<\/p>\n<p>There are also many expat networks in Nanjing that you can use to promote your skills, such as the Nanjing International Club, who will refer you to friends and colleagues who speak Chinese. Parents often hire tutors for their children as well. Again, you need to be aware that this type of tutoring is sometimes illegal and very risky.<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Find_Teach_English_Jobs_In_Nanjing\"><\/span><strong>How To Find Teach English Jobs In Nanjing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>If you look online, you&#8217;ll find lots and lots of websites posting job ads for <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/english-teachers-in-china\/\" title=\"View all posts in English teachers in China\">English teachers in China<\/a>, and Nanjing is no exception. If you don&#8217;t have a TEFL certificate, you can complete your TEFL certification in the country through a reputable organization, which can help you find a job legally. You should also start looking for a job as early as possible, as the visa process in China can be a long one. If you have both a bachelor&#8217;s degree and a TEFL certificate, you will have the best chance of getting a job with a reputable, reliable and responsible institution &#8211; with the relevant Z visa &#8211; if you have both a bachelor&#8217;s degree and a TEFL certificate. These are usually the minimum standard qualifications required to work in the relevant schools, universities and training schools of the National Agency of Foreign Experts (SAFEA).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-24451\" src=\"https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/2020\/05\/20241210105435579-440x293.jpg?imageView2\/0\/format\/webp\/q\/75\" alt=\"Teach English In Nanjing\" width=\"797\" height=\"531\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/2020\/05\/20241210105435579-440x293.jpg 440w, https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/2020\/05\/20241210105435579-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/2020\/05\/20241210105435579-220x147.jpg 220w, https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/2020\/05\/20241210105435579-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/2020\/05\/20241210105435579-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/2020\/05\/20241210105435579-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 797px) 100vw, 797px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Salary_Of_Teach_English_Jobs_In_Nanjing\"><\/span><strong>Salary Of Teach English Jobs In Nanjing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Salaries can vary widely, but you should expect the base salary for <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/teaching-in-china\/\" title=\"View all posts in teaching in China\">teaching in China<\/a> to be around 10,000 RMB per month.
