Forums > Study > State of language teaching in Kunming

Hi everyone,

I'm researching the working conditions of foreign teachers in Kunming and I'd love to hear from any teachers currently working in Kunming. It's been really interesting reading the posts on this thread, but what I'd like to do is produce a document with concrete information regarding pay and conditions that is useful to both teachers and learning institutions.

I will not publish or share any identifying information you provide me with to other parties. You can reply anonymously, but I will need the correct name of the institution you work for (this information will not be published, institutions will be classified according to category).

If you're interested in the results, please let me know. I'd be happy to provide you with a copy, or post to this thread (nothing fancy, it'll end up like a school league table of sorts)

Please reply via gokunming, or to my email honeyburge@gmail.com with the following information.

1: Name of Employer
2: Category ( kindergarten / middle school / university / tutoring / private language provider / company etc)
3: Class hours and / or office hours per week / month.
4: Length of contract (or please advise if part time)
5: Salary and / or RMB per hour

6: Is a house or accommodation supplement provided?
7: Paid holidays? (how many and how much are you paid?)
8: Medical insurance provided?
9: Contract completion bonus? (please provide details)
10: Airfare provided (please provide details)
11: Does your employer pay for visa costs? (including medical check)
12: Does your employer provide any extras in the contract such as travel, Chinese classes etc?
13: Anything you'd like to comment on?

Thanks in advance everyone.

Hi there, if you use microsoft explorer browser to complete the transaction it works every time. Chrome and firefox browsers don't work.

I just got back from Thailand yesterday. I used my China Construction Bank card all over the place, no problems. I've also used it in Hong Kong. Just look for ATMs with a "unionpay" icon.
