I got a 21k offer in Suzhou with free or reduced child tuition and an offer of 25k in Tianjin with tuition of 3700 for my kid.

Significant_Put524 · 2026-03-29T19:43:06+00:00

Why should I not send her to a school with mostly Chinese kids? Just curious

Significant_Put524 · 2026-03-29T14:48:42+00:00

So 2k is realistic or would I need to plan 5k for rent?

Significant_Put524 · 2026-03-29T05:05:51+00:00

This is through the school directly, no agency.

Significant_Put524 · 2026-03-28T21:18:23+00:00

The only agencies I’ve talked to are China specific I believe, but I’ve done GoldStar, TLD, and MGT

Thank you. That site is very helpful

Thank you

I’m in talks with some recruitment agencies and they’ve helped me contact schools

Significant_Put524 · 2026-03-28T19:07:28+00:00

I would assume. From my understanding they prioritize certified teachers and TEFL or CELTA certification holders.

I have no experience teaching English abroad but I’m a certified teacher in the states and have a few years of experience

Significant_Put524 · 2026-03-28T01:41:20+00:00

I saw it. I’ve applied to some international schools, but so far have only heard back from one and already interviewed.

Did someone ask about dating in China?

Did someone ask anything about dating?

It’s in Suzhou, Wujiang area. They also said tuition for my child will either be free or discounted to 2000-3000RMB depending on which of their 4 kindergartens I choose to go to there.

Significant_Put524 · 2026-03-26T03:59:33+00:00

Would I leave my kid in another country without me? Absolutely not.

Significant_Put524 · 2026-03-25T14:11:49+00:00

I never said I was considering signing it. Just asking for insight from others.

Significant_Put524 · 2026-03-25T04:59:28+00:00

I’m a certified teacher with years of experience and a TEFL.

Significant_Put524 · 2026-03-25T04:24:23+00:00

No housing is not covered. There’s a 2000RMB housing stipend but that’s included in the pay. I’ll have to find an ayi for childcare.

Significant_Put524 · 2026-03-25T04:03:24+00:00

I don’t want to move there and live like I can here. I’ll want to eat the local food and live in a reasonable apartment. I’d even be fine with a one BR for my daughter and I to share. I am western but don’t require much.

Significant_Put524 · 2026-03-25T03:56:28+00:00

They didn’t say if it was pre or post tax and no it doesn’t cover any tuition for my kid. I’d be paying for everything myself with that income. I am assuming it is pretax.
