A full-time opportunity to teach English to high school students aged 15–18 in Nanjing, China, offering a competitive monthly salary of ¥18,000 RMB, generous benefits, and a start date of October 2026.

Job Description

Successful candidates will bring energy, creativity, and a genuine commitment to helping teenagers thrive in an EFL environment.

Requirements

• Native-level English speaker
• Bachelor’s degree or above (any field)
• TEFL, TESOL, or CELTA certification is preferred

• Salary: ¥18,000 RMB per month, depending on teaching background and experience
• Accommodation: Free on-site housing provided, or a ¥2,000 RMB monthly housing allowance
• Work visa: Sponsored by the employer
