Success Stories
Hear from teachers who've transformed their careers
“I went from classroom teacher to Head of English in two years - that would've taken a decade in the UK. The career progression here is unreal. Plus, I'm saving £1,500 a month while living in a gorgeous apartment in the French Concession. My Mandarin's coming along too - ordering street food like a local now!”
Emma Richardson
Head of English, Shanghai
“The tech in these schools blew my mind. AI-powered learning tools, VR field trips to the Great Wall, interactive everything. Back home I was fighting for a working projector. Here, I'm teaching with resources I didn't know existed. And with housing covered and tax at just 3%, I'm actually building real savings for the first time in my teaching career.”
James Carter
Geography Teacher, Beijing
“Shenzhen is like living in the future - you can pay for everything with your phone, take bullet trains across the country for weekend trips, and the sports facilities here are Olympic-standard. I'm saving 70% of my salary, eating incredible food for £3 a meal, and my flat is twice the size of my London studio. Why would I go back?”
Tom Fletcher
PE Teacher, Shenzhen
“The cultural immersion has been the unexpected highlight. Learning Mandarin, celebrating Chinese New Year with my students' families, exploring ancient temples on weekends. The work-life balance is better than I ever had at home - shorter commutes, affordable massages after work, and the 13th month bonus was a nice surprise. It's not just a job, it's a whole new life.”
Alex Murphy
Science Teacher, Guangzhou
“I was burnt out teaching in Manchester - underpaid, overworked, drowning in paperwork. Here in Chengdu, I earn more, work reasonable hours, and the students genuinely respect teachers. The cost of living is so low that my 32K RMB salary feels like a six-figure income. Three years in and I've paid off my student loans entirely.”
Ben Clarke
Mathematics Teacher, Chengdu
