| Benefits |
Return airfare (you pay this upfront.
It is repaid to you in two instalments over the Teaching post) |
A local salary of approximately £100
a week which is the equivalent of between £300 and £400
in spending power |
A secure, furnished flat with modern
amenities on campus |
Utility bills are usually paid for you
(except for telephone bills) |
English speaking staff ‘buddy’ and full local
support from the CEAIE |
TEIC provides a great opportunity to travel and make a difference,
and with more competition for graduate jobs than ever, it’s
one of the best ways to develop new transferable skills and give
your CV that edge. If you choose to learn Chinese during your stay,
this will also look great on your CV.
You will receive a return airfare from the UK, including transfers,
but in the first instance you buy the ticket. It will be refunded
to you in two instalments. This is to avoid the recruitment of short
term ‘holidaymakers’. Also if you fail to complete your
contract you may not receive the airfare. You will have a secure,
furnished apartment, on campus, free of charge. It will either be
for your exclusive use or you may be asked to share with another
English language teacher of your gender from the programme. You
will have your own bedroom. You will be paid approximately £100
a week, tax free. You can multiply this sum by three of four times
in terms of local purchasing power. You will teach approximately
18 periods a week [50 minutes a period]. You will be given an English
speaking staff buddy and may opt into local support from CEAIE staff
based in Beijing..
In the long New Year vacation and once you contract has ended,
you also have the opportunity to do some self-funded travel around
China and Asia.
NB: Teachers will
be sent an employment contract from the educational institition
in China. You are strongly advised to read it carefully as there might be a variation
of terms. Your teaching contract is with that institution not with TEIC or CEAIE. If there are matters
that require clarification please contact Professor Thomas
