Actually, maybe if you have been here for a year or two the salary is 6k a month. But for someone fresh of the plane, no experience and no real qualifications the likely starting salary is around 4 - 5k a month in a crappy city.

But don't listen to me, if you believe some on these boards the roads are paved with gold, the starting salary for an oral English teacher is 10k a month and you get 5 months paid vacation a year. Twisted Evil Oh and you only have to work 10 hours a week.


Are salaries really that low for noobs? I totally get you on the second part of your post; seems that many paint a picture of the life of luxury.


For uni positions yes, for language schools the starting salary is around 7000 - 9000rmb a month. Obviously some language schools pay more, but they usually require experience.
