English teaching job in Beijing, 30k-35k RMB, ages 3-5, no experience needed
The basics:
- English reading with children aged 3 to 5, picture books, storytelling, songs and games
- Classes of about 8, full curriculum, materials and teaching aids provided
- One of the top education companies in China, proper classrooms and equipment
- 360,000 to 420,000 RMB a year before tax, about 28,000 a month after tax
- Native English speaker with a Bachelor's or Master's degree, that is the only hard gate
- Teaching experience and an Education background preferred, neither required, fresh grads welcome
- Work visa sponsored, full pay during the one month probation, insurance after
- Start around February 2027, screening now
Disclosure first, I get a referral fee if someone I send ends up hired. Posting because the numbers are unusually good and I would rather people here see it than only the spam accounts.
On the money, after rent for a decent one bedroom in Beijing you would still have around 21,000 RMB a month, roughly 2,900 USD. That is somewhere between one and a half and two times what most people make starting out here.
On who they actually want, energy and patience with small children matter more than a CV. Three and four year olds will not sit still because you asked them to, and you need to hold eight of them for a whole lesson. You also plan your own lessons and activities, even though the curriculum and materials are provided.
The parts that put people off, and I would rather say them now. Weekend teaching is required, and you get two weekdays off instead during spring and autumn. The timetable shifts in the winter and summer periods, so you need to be flexible about hours across the year. No winter and summer break, you'd get China's statutory public holidays off. The flight is not reimbursed and the housing allowance is inside the salary figure rather than on top.
TEFL is needed before the visa is processed, but you can apply without one and the cost may be reimbursed.
We are aiming to finish screening around October. That looks early for a February 2027 start, but between the work permit, the document authentication and the TEFL for anyone who does not have one, four months goes quickly.
If you are already in China this is an easy move. If you are not, they handle the visa side.

a CV is enough to start, and there is a short video later in the process.
More than happy to answer anything in the comments
Edit: a few people have asked, so worth adding, they are hiring for around 10 positions rather than one, so it is not a case of everyone competing for a single spot.
