Not all teachers are the same, and that's a good thing because not all schools are the same either!

Every teacher looks for a school that will suit what they are looking for while teaching abroad. Some are looking for an opportunity to save as much money as fast as possible, perhaps to put a dent in a student loan. Others may be looking for a school that will help them progress as a teacher. Some place the reputation of the school above the salary, while others are completely driven by the experience of the location, be it rural or big city living.

Whatever you're looking for, there will be a school that is suited to you. And with that in mind, we thought we'd help you out by giving you a quick rundown of a few of our schools that are currently hiring in China right now. All of the below positions can be seen in more detail on the featured jobs page on saxoncourt.com.
