Highlights: Salaries start at approximately $1000 USD or above monthly. Remember that when living in China, the economy is much different than that in western countries. This amount per month is more than enough to have a comfortable life in China. Program participants also receive a travel allowance at the end of the semester to encourage you to see the sites China has to offer. Don't worry, your accommodation has the luxuries of home such as a telephone, refrigerator, A/C, TV, and internet access. All accommodations have running water and electricity, paid for by the school.   

Every contract year, we provide a travel allowance to all program participants if they complete their contract. In each of every full academic year contracted for the school will provide you with a round-trip airline ticket allowance for a flight between your home country and China. If you are only willing to work for a school for one semester, you will receive a one-way airline ticket allowance at the end of the contracted semester.
