The hard truth about teaching English at a Chinese university | Everything you need to get the job

Thinking about teaching at a university in China? In this video, I’m breaking down what it actually takes to land a university teaching job and how those requirements can differ from other schools in China. We’ll talk about qualifications, experience, and the practical details many people don’t realize exist. I’ll also share advice for finding jobs, choosing the right university level, deciding what subjects to teach, and a few important things to think about before applying. If you’re considering moving abroad or teaching in China, this should give you a much clearer picture of what to expect and help you figure out whether university teaching is the right fit for you.
