You should not worry about finding the new home for yourself – we will be there to help you every step of the way! From the moment you land in China, i2 Education staff will take care of you. We'll provide temporary accommodation at a hotel upon your arrival for 7 days and help you find an apartment, communicate with landlords, sign your lease, set the Internet, and help you move in. We will guide you through all the details on daily errands – from ways to pay your Internet fees to order goods to your new home.


You're also responsible for paying for your housing and living expenses, but we provide a monthly housing allowance and a competitive salary to enjoy day-to-day life in China.


The flight expenses of course depend on your location, time of the year, and airlines you choose.
For your first month in China, we recommend you to have 15,000-20,000 RMB ($2150-$2850) to feel comfortable and get everything you need to settle down. Normally, to rent an apartment in China you will need to pay for 3 months upfront, one-month deposit fee, and a one-month agency fee. For example, if your monthly rent is 2,500 RMB/month, once you sign the lease contract you will be expected to pay 7,500 RMB for 3 months, a deposit fee of 2,500 RMB, and an agency fee of 2,500 RMB (12,500 RMB in total).






On a weekday, our teachers start working in the campuses around 2-3 pm. Most teachers have about 2 hours to plan their classes and prepare teaching materials before the students come to the campus. The first class usually starts between 4 and 5 pm. Each class lasts 40 minutes with a 10 minutes break afterwards. On weekdays you might have 4-5 classes finishing your working day around 9 pm.
On the weekend teachers usually start teaching around 9.30 am and have 4 classes in the morning before the lunch break. In the afternoon teachers might have 4-5 more classes ending their day around 5.30 pm. Even though the weekend is sometimes tiresome, our teachers have fun during the PBL classes that take place outside at interesting locations on Saturday or Sunday.
Twice a month you might have a training or workshop organized at a campus or city level. This will help you improve your teaching skills as well as meet new friends who also work at i2 Education.






Moreover, if you are looking to pursue some hobbies you had back home, that is also very doable. Most of our teachers continue to do their favorite activities or develop new interests while living in China. Social life in China is certainly never dull!
