CIPTC Teachers Q&A
Q1: Which city will I teach in?
A1: You will be teaching at a public primary or middle School, or high school in Shenzhen city, China. Here is the panorama of Shenzhen, China. Here is a video of expat living in Shenzhen.
Q2: At which school will I be teaching?
A2: You will know which school to teach after you arrive in China. Because there are many public schools in Shenzhen, job vacancies are being filled quickly. The process is that after being offered a position by CIPTC, you know you will be teaching at a public school in Shenzhen. Then you fly to China with your work visa. CIPTC will provide you available schools when you arrive in Shenzhen based on your preference on age group and location. A teacher will then have an interview or demo lesson with his/her interested school. If you pass the interview, you are admitted to teach at the school. If you fail the interview, you will be given other schools and other interviews until you get into a school.
Q3: If the position starts at September, can I arrive early?
A3: Yes, you can arrive in Shenzhen early. CIPTC provide teachers who arrive early a free studio apartment, and 2,200 RMB per month as living expense until September 1st.
Q4: What’s the working hours like?
A4: Monday to Friday, 8:30am-11:50am and 2:00pm-5:30pm. Primary schools finish classes early at around 4 to 4:30pm. Middle and High schools finish classes at around 5 to 5:30pm.
Q5: What’s housing like?
A5: Most CIPTC teachers rent apartments off campus, because there are not many schools that provide on campus accommodation, plus the housing conditions are very limited on campus. If you rent a house yourself, CIPTC would recommend agents who speak English and work with CIPTC for a long time.
Q6: Is food free on campus?
A6: Breakfast and lunch are provided at school cafeteria for free. Dinner is not provided.
Q7: What is a public school like in Shenzhen?
A7: We list a few school panoramas to give you a better idea what your public schools are like in Shenzhen:
Shenzhen Xili Primary School
Shenzhen Yuanling Primary School
Shenzhen Bao’an Experimental School
Shenzhen Bao’an Tianjiao Primary School
Q8: How do I get a health report?
A8: It’s required by the Foreign Expert Bureau that all applicants must provide a health report for the application. There’s a standard official form for you to take a fully body check. However, it will be money consuming and time costly to get the form done. Therefore, we suggest you get a doctor from a hospital or clinic to write you a Heal Statement to prove that you are in good health condition and carry no contagious disease. We can simply use that statement to apply for work visa.
Q9: Why applying via ISAC?
ISAC is a certified recruit agency for CIPTC; ISAC connects you directly with the HR Manager Mingxing Li from CIPTC.
Q10: How is my salary decided?
Salary depends on your qualification as well as the budget of each education district in Shenzhen. If you are okay with teaching in outskirts of the city, you would get higher salary than teaching in downtown. In downtown area like Futian, Luohu and Yantian, the highest salary is 15,000 RMB per month; In Bao’an and Nanshan, the highest is 17,000. For Pingshan and Guangming, it is 18,000 RMB per month.
