Teaching Experience in China Programmes
We have
four
teaching programmes that are designed for TEFL teachers with different requirements.
This program is designed for individuals who would like practicum experience in home tutoring while traveling and learning a new culture. This internship allows candidates to experience actual ESL and subject teaching experience without making a long term commitment until candidate is ready to pursue a career in teaching abroad. Our team is ready to offer support throughout your internship!
This program is designed to attract high-quality Chinese and foreign talents (researchers and developers of core strategic technologies) both in China and overseas to work for government-supported projects in various scientific and technological innovation companies and high-end manufacturers in different provinces of China.
This program is designed for fresh graduates with at least a Bachelor’s Degree but do not have any teaching experience. This program offers a chance for fresh graduates to obtain extensive TEFL training and job placement, while enjoying the benefits of traveling and experiencing a new culture. This program is a yearly contract and will help you pursue your career in TEFL abroad! Our team is will provide necessary support to help you have a comfortable year.
Our team can assist teachers who have more than 2 years experience in STEM and/or Social Science subjects. Schools are continuously seeking qualified IB, A Level and AP Math, Chemistry, Physics, English, Literature, TOK, Philosophy, Biology, History, Geography, Business Management, Economics, etc. We cooperate with numerous top schools of China and can readily arrange interviews for the candidate. From top private to international schools, we can assist in finding you the best fit according to your expectations and qualifications!
To help potential and current organisations fully understand, the TEC (Teaching Experience in China) programme is a programme that allows new interns and teachers to smoothly transition life into Shanghai - allowing them to adapt to a new vibrant culture and surrounding.
Orientation week – A week devoted to getting interns trained and comfortable in Shanghai. Practical experience – The rest of the internship is spent on gaining practical teaching experience and networking.
The main point of this programme is to help teachers become fully qualified TEFL teachers after receiving training during the orientation week. They will be assigned to a school placement and gain 5 months teaching experience.
There are hundreds of activities and different cultures to experience in Shanghai. Although new interns and teachers may be living in a foreign country for the first time, this will accelerate their language learning and cultural appreciation.
Though Shanghai can allow foreigners to live a fairly westernised life, they can also truly experience the authentic China here. It is easy to find traditional restaurants, Tai Chi classes and even people playing Chinese chess in parks.

Shanghai Meiji have been an incredibly helpful and supportive team in my experience. When it came to being in the UK and China, I have been able to get quick responses and never felt I wasn’t a priority to them. Everyone I met at the office was super lovely and welcoming. The training was very insightful and helped me to be prepared for things I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise such as cultural differences and the operation of the kindergarten. I found it very useful that Lulu came to the kindergarten campus for hands on training which helped me get a better idea of how to be a good teacher. They were also very good with the medical checks, taking me to the places. Nitz was very warm and supportive especially when I first came here. I want to thank everyone at Meiji and Juri especially for being so kind and welcoming and helping me with any issues I’m having. I definitely recommend Shanghai Meiji to anyone new to Shanghai as they make the process very smooth and also very positive. Bureaucracy can be a pretty confusing and tiring process here so Meiji have been fantastic with helping me with this. Oh and also Cici helped me a lot with the apartment hunt and communicated my needs to the agent. Lua helped me to prepare with possible cultural clashes and checked up on how I was doing regularly.
OliviaSept 4, 2024
Meiji have been more than helpful since the beginning. I couldn’t recommend them more to start your teaching career in China - from the pre-departure organisation, frequent communication to settle any queries, and the process whenever I landed in Shanghai has been seamless and stress-free - particularly the assistance in finding an apartment.
JeanAug 29, 2024
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service and support you provided in helping me secure a teaching position in China. Your dedication and professionalism throughout the process were truly outstanding. Thanks to your hard work and expertise, I was able to navigate the complexities of finding a teaching job overseas with confidence. The position I now hold in China is an excellent fit, and I am thrilled to be embarking on this new chapter of my career.

OK let's see here is my "testimony" - I genuinely enjoyed my experience with Meiji, I was rather unfortunate (or fortunate depending on how you want to look at it) that I arrived to start my internship here in China about one week before Spring festival holiday started or 2 weeks before everything got locked down in response to Covid. So what a way to start... However I didn't leave because at the beginning I was sure things would be up and running again middle of February or perhaps March at the latest. All the while Meiji staff working hard to figure out what I might be able to do so as I am not feeling like I am wasting my time being here in China (and to let me earn some income) . They put together several different groups so that I might be able to get some experience teaching a variety of ages (10-17) with informal online classes and what an experience I got working with this collection of teachers and students from many parts of China! When schools began to open up again they arranged for me to start teaching at a kindergarten in Hangzhou Bay which turned out to be such a fruitful time of meeting new people, learning how this type of school works, and teaching this very young age (3-5). All the while generally being in a much safer position than I might have otherwise been. All and all I may have learned a lot more than I initially set out to do.

For example: the Chinese greeting "have you eaten? " He can understand the past and present of Chinese history. He is successfully completed his project with Shanghai Meiji. During the time, he had a traveled to the cities of guilin and hangzhou alone, and then planned to visit Taiwan later . Today, we invited him to taste authentic cantonese food and arranged a visit to the Oriental Pearl Tower (famous city mark in Shanghai )for him. He said that the project at Shanghai Meiji had given him an unforgettable experience in China and that he would definitely come back ASAP!
James
My time with Meiji was 5 months well spent. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted at the airport and helped with all I needed. After some training and a few meetings, Meiji helped me to find a position that was suited to my personality and did all they could to ensure I was comfortable in China. While I was working, Meiji made sure to check on me every now and then, but they were not overbearing and allowed me to do my work and learn independently. If I could, I’d like to spend another 5 months with this wonderful team, but unfortunately my time is up.
Andrew Cauthen
I was given the opportunity to participate in the 5-month internship with Shanghai Meiji. They provided me with the ability to visit and learn so much about the cultures of China and the people who live here. It was an incredible experience, and the support from Mona and the others at Shanghai Meiji helped me to feel prepared and well guided for my time in the classroom. They put me in contact with two different learning centers, allowing me to participate in a wide variety of classroom settings and student ages, as well as the amazing staff of both schools. I would not trade my experience with either learning center for anything in the world. This has truly been a life changing experience, and I thank Mona and her team for giving me this wonderful opportunity.

BrendaNov 4, 2019
Shanghai Meiji has done an excellent job helping me to accommodate here in China. They helped and prepared me to be the best I can be. They gave me a lot of useful advice and made sure everything was okay. Everyone is very friendly and made me feel welcomed. I have learned a lot, It's definitely an experience I won't forget. Thank you so much!

Shanghai Meiji is the best agency I have had the pleasure to work with in Shanghai. Everyone is very kind and very responsible. Especially my agents Mona and Ronnie. They were helping me from the beginning and they were near to help me with all my problems. I am very glad that I found your agency otherwise I would not find such a great Job in Shanghai. Thank you for everything
ElizabethNov 1, 2019
Shanghai Meiji has been so helpful! They made sure to pick me up from the airport and take me to my hotel in Shanghai. They even provided a guided tour of the city which was the experience of a lifetime! Without them, I would have been so overwhelmed but they made sure everything was enjoyable for me. They placed me in the beautiful city of Lianyungang, filled with mountains near the seaside. The school and students here are a pleasure to work with. I am so grateful to be here thanks to Shanghai Meiji!

AlexandraOct 31, 2019
After a long and exhausting flight from America to Shanghai, my sister and I were warmly greeted by Shanghai Meiji. Shanghai Meiji assisted us in getting settled into our hotel, attaining sim cards, and even how to use the metro! After our orientation, Shanghai Meiji arranged cultural lessons and an amazing tour of the scenic views of Shanghai. Shanghai Meiji has been a tremendous resource, and extremely helpful with our transition to life in China. The company made sure to place my sister and I together, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. We love both the city and training center we were placed in. If I ever have any questions or concerns, Shanghai Meiji will promptly answer me and assist me any way they can. I can not thank Shanghai Meiji enough for all of their help!
MoaOct 30, 2019
Hello, my name is Moa and I'm now working in Shanghai, thanks to Shanghai Meiji! Moving to this city was a bit scary for me, firstly because I have no close friends in here and also because it's a huge and different city comparing to Hanghzou that used to be my comfort zone place. All I can say is I'm so glad I did, this step was the best thing I've ever done since I came to china. Everything is amazingly different - at least to me -, including the most important part of it; my working environment. Work is work wherever you go for sure, but the atmosphere matters, and the one I'm having here is just a blast in a way that I've never ever felt that I'm a newbie even since the first day, you know that feeling of being adopted by a big family, but a cool one. One thing to say, if I had to do it again, I'll do it 100 times.
AlexOct 30, 2019
Upon arriving in Shanghai, I was greeted by a staff from Shanghai Meiji, who helped me and the other interns get settled into our hotel. From there, we had orientation, and on my third day in Shanghai I was already offered a teaching position in a teaching center in Taizhou. Overall, I love the team at Shanghai Meiji, as they have been extremely helpful and friendly. And, I especially love where I was placed. The city and teaching center I was transferred to have contributed to a proper, unforgettable China experience. Since coming to China, I have had some of the best moments in my life that I will cherish forever, as well as developed friendships that I hope last forever.
EllenOct 29, 2019
My name is Ellen and I came to Shanghai through Meiji as an intern. The company was very welcoming and helpful in my interview process. I was settled in by the team and also had a wonderful tour of Shanghai on one of the days. The week orientation really prepared me for life in China whilst also facilitating preparation for interviews. I have been placed in a wonderful school where I am learning something new everyday. I’ve embraced life here and really appreciate the experience meiji shanghai have provided.
JosiAug 5, 2019
Deciding to teach English in China was an exciting choice for my husband and I. However very overwhelming in the beginning with the visa application and amount of schools. We didn’t know anything about how to get a teaching job in another country. Shanghai Meiji was with us from the beginning- helping us train for classes, interview for schools and checking in when we accepted our placement. In our five month internship, my husband and I taught at a beautiful little school called PlayABC in Xiamen. The local teachers were fantastic and very helpful! Our head teacher was able to help us with all our accommodations and questions about daily life. We travelled all around the Fujian province and utilized the high speed train to go to cities like Hong Kong and Shanghai when we had longer weekends. There was so much to see and do in Xiamen, especially during the festival times when we got to participate in celebrations such as the dragon boat festival. Living in China was an amazing experience, everything from the food to the architecture and language had us enjoying all of our time. This was an amazing experience and it was made possible with the help of Shanghai Meiji. Their guidance and support gave us the knowledge and confidence to teach in China!
Aral FreadrichAug 2, 2019
My English teaching internship in China was a fantastic experience and great way to start my English teaching career. It started off by being greeted at the airport by a very friendly and helpful man who helped me out get settled in China. The first couple days I was settled in Shanghai and the company helped me deal with the logistics of living in China (getting Chinese sim card, opening a Chinese bank account and finding a placement at a school). Within a couple days I had a placement at ABIE in Huaibei in Northern Anhui province. This was a great school for my first teaching position. The staff was very friendly and helpful in helping me get settled into my new city and adjust to Chinese life. I was given a very nice apartment within walking distance of the school and it had everything that I needed for a comfortable life. Many other foreign teachers also worked at this school and were very helpful at helping me learn all that was needed to be a successful English teacher in China. I was very lucky with the classes that I was assigned since I had very good local teachers to work with and my students were all very friendly and eager to learn English. The five months I was working at the school went very fast and I was very sad when I had to say goodbye to my students and fellow teachers. They will hold a very special place in my heart. I have learned so much about being a teacher and about China over the course of this program. Would highly recommend this program to anyone who is considering becoming an English teacher and is curious about life in China. It was also a very good way for me to explore and see many very interesting places in China.
DylanJune 11, 2019
I'm very glad to have experienced an internship through Shanghai Meiji. Their English speaking staff have made my time in China straightforward and prioritised my preferences when looking for placement schools for me, and somewhere to live. They also offer other opportunities, such as getting to interview some local English teachers, and that was a rewarding experience within itself. The set up of my placement job was ideal for me, and I have been surprised at the amount of respect and responsibility given to English teachers in China. I also have had great opportunities to travel around, and have really experienced many different aspects of China and Chinese culture. Many times I have been genuinely touched by the kindness of people here, even complete strangers. The 5 months really flies by, and I think this is an opportunity not to be missed if you would like to gain new work experience, and have a great time in a foreign country.
KylaJune 1, 2019
Hey it's Kyla again, I’m gonna up here again talk about the experience in china, I will finish my 5months internship in one month and Before even coming to China, i was preparing myself for the culture shock ,I was thinking of all this things that could go wrong and could go right, and i was really preparing myself for a different experience, but then when I got here I realized it’s not really that different at all ,it’s very much the same at the end of the day we just all human beings who want happiness, and if your nice to somebody they will be nice to you back .We all just trying go to work, and Go home, Live our lives and be loved and give love to other people. I definitely experience culture shock in a good way because I was over prepared and then when I got here, it’s not that bad, and it’s not that different at all. I don’t find it to be that different from Canada really, I also found that a lot of people in Jiangin my small city in china, a lot of young people my age speak English, so it’s very easy to get around ,so easy to get help. Yeah, I can’t stress enough how Shanghai Meiji has made the process so easy. From getting the apartment, any questions I had, but like I said in the beginning and I keep saying it that it’s not that different. It’s not that bad. I going into china I thought that they would be really conservative you know maybe you couldn’t show midriff, couldn’t show any tattoos that’s completely opposite. Girls walk around like little shorts and tiptop’s, people are tattooed allover, so its not that different from Canada or the united states at end of the day we just human beings and this has being the greatest experience of my life. Thank You
Alex May 7, 2019
I have had a really good experience with Shanghai Meiji. The company has been extremely helpful and reliable. Whenever I had any question or needed guidance, Shanghai Meiji was ready to help me out. We had been in contact well before I arrived in China, which made the whole process a lot easier and much less stressful. I've been feeling welcomed from the moment they picked me up at the airport. They helped me with literally everything from arranging my accommodation, through getting me a Chinese SIM card and opening a Chinese bank account till having an English teaching job and settling down. Everyone in their office is extremely friendly and helpful. I can't thank them enough!
Gina May 4, 2019
Shanghai Meiji has been very helpful in the process of finding teaching opportunities in China. Within one week of arriving in Shanghai, I was fully trained, interviewed, and accepted to a teaching position for a training center in Taizhou. It was a quick and easy process, and all the staff at Shanghai Meiji made it possible. They assisted with housing accommodations, how to travel through the city, and even assisted me with some basic shopping needs. I have had a wonderful experience with Shanghai Meiji and would recommend them to anyone interested in teaching abroad.
JosiArp 4, 2019
Last year my husband and I decided to change our routine and teach English in a foreign country. After taking a TESOL class we decided China would be an amazing place to start our new journey. We got in touch with Shanghai Meiji who quickly assisted us in every aspect there forward. We had an interview and were graciously welcomed into the team. We were directed on visa applications and what to prepare for our big move. Once we arrived in Shanghai the team was awesome, spending time showing us laround Shanghai, educating us on teaching and helping us prepare for interviews. They took all the complication out of the process by finding schools and allowing us to be part of the elimination process. I felt comfortable and capable leaving Shanghai knowing I could contact Shanghai Meiji for anything in the future. The team was friendly, available at anytime and knowledgeable. Shanghai Meiji makes teaching in China accessible and easy for anyone.
TravisArp 3, 2019
Last year my wife and I thought it would be an exciting change to teach overseas. Before we completed our TESOL course we knew we wanted to explore China. But we didn’t know what to expect or where to start. Shanghai Meiji made everything so much easier. They have provided support every step of the way, giving us training and ensuring we were comfortable and looked after. Everyone there has been hospitable and excited to have us as part of their team. Even after being settled in to our new position they still check in to see if there is anything they can do for us. We were very fortunate to have been connected with Shanghai Meiji and we couldn’t imagine making this change without them.
RoselineArp 1, 2019
Shanghai Meiji are incredibly helpful in getting teachers settled into Shanghai. They find accommodations and schools for teachers allowing for the teacher’s preferences. This has been great as I am now settled into a school I am happy with.
KateArp 1, 2019
I wish to thank Shanghai Meiji and all managers who work there for their help in finding a job and getting settled in Shanghai. I am very excited about the possibility of joining one of your programs and appreciate the time you spent helping me. The arrangement was perfect, starting from the meeting at the airport and helping with the interviews up to opening bank account and paying utility bills. Even i was a total stranger in China, i was made to feel welcome here from the first days, information and sage advice provided from the office helped me quickly to get the handle I needed. Anytime i need help, have questions or need additional information, i always feel free to call or message them and all managers are eager to help.

Good morning!️ What can I say, I really like the way you treat foreigners on their Chinese journey. From the beginning of my trip when I just landed in Shanghai, I felt wonderful when I met Camus.

I trained with Sarah over the course of my induction week and I felt massively more confident from having her feedback and knowledge. Sarah provides an honest look into the life and work of a teacher working in Kindergartens in China. She presented me with an efficient guide to planning lessons and the right questions to ask your kindergarten to assess if the placement is right for you personally. In addition I got feedback upon what I had planned and my introduction and preparation for interviews meaning I had a great advantage in making a good first impression. I hope that Sarah will keep in touch as her knowledge and professional opinion are extremely helpful for both old and new EFL Teachers.

I am writing today to thank you formally for all the time and work that you have put into working with me .The level of commitment and professionalism shown by you, has been quite extraordinary. It certainly has gone far above and beyond the scope of what might be expected. SARA is an excellent coach her approach according to both the needs of the business and the individual client. Her overall partnering skills are excellent, identifying appropriate touch-points throughout the engagement to ensure alignment and focus on skill improvement. In short a lot of words can be used to describe Sara but mostly I would like to highlight and put three big Red lines on 'amazing', 'professional', 'positive', 'up-lifting', 'supportive', 'understanding' and 'flexible'. She is very easy to work with and makes you feel really relaxed and comfortable. Very friendly and know how to give exactly the right advices. She was available to give answers for all my Questions and doubts during the whole period. She was very flexible and really great listener and understanding. Our sessions have been a very good learning experience for me as you made them great Fun with your smile . Would love to thank you again for all of the hard work and efforts .

Well, you've been an excellent help as my coordinator. Always friendly and helpful when I needed it, never felt like you weren't on my side. In summary, very positive experience, won't be hearing any complaints about you from me.
GwynettJan 1, 2019
I am very Grateful that I had the honor of being helped by Sarah from Shanghai Meiji during my experience here in China, From the training she gave me, which was pretty good! Up until the point where I needed support with being away from home for too long. Sarah is amazing! The Support that I received from her I would rate 10/10

In the first days in Shanghai, i realized that i was dealing with real professionals. I'm talking about experts in Shanghai's Meiji culture. They helped me with everything. Here are people who are ready to help you at any time and with any question. It helps a lot when you come to China and you're all alone. Shanghai Meiji Culture Communication is a real team that guides and helps you in your journey. I could only dream of working in China. Now it has become a reality. Thanks for Shanghai Meiji !
JackDec 27, 2018
"I'm greatly enjoying my time teaching and living in Shanghai. Upon arrival here, Shanghai Meiji quickly found me a job teaching kindergarten at a small international school in the centre of the city. It is great because the kids are such a pleasure to teach and I really get to see them making so much progress as I teach them the basics of English. I am lucky enough to both live and work in very central locations, so I have had a great opportunity to enjoy what the city has to offer. Thankfully also, my working hours are quite favourable so I have had the opportunity to travel at the weekends to several other cities in China."
ClairDec 25, 2018
When I decided to work in China I had no idea about where to look for work, and knew a very little about their culture and country. Also because luck of experience me and my friend decided to refer to Shanghai Meiji company. It was very good idea because they helped us step by step. Just when we arrived to China, we were shocked and scared about communication, because we don't speak Chinese. But coordinator met us in airport, explained everything in details. Also we get help to make introducing video and demo class. Interviews were organised very quickly and we get job in couple days. I think that it's very good to have some support here in the beginning, because China is very different from countries which I visited before. One more good bonus is that the company provides us TEFL course, that gives us more opportunities in future.
KarimaDec 25, 2018
Working in China was only a dream, yet Shanghai Meiji Culture Communication made it become true. I am very blessed to be one of the chosen foreigners by Shanghai Meiji to come and pursue my teaching career in China. This center aims to enhance education in China and contributes unintentionally in achieving many teachers' dreams by providing several opportunities to live this wonderful experience of teaching in an amazing culture and among very friendly, lovely and fantastic people. The staff of Shanghai Meiji are very professional, they are people who respect their words, they are accompanying me on my journey and they provide me with everything since my first arrival up to this moment. They are people who will never give up on you. In one word, if anybody ever wished to teach in China, I would definitely recommend them Shanghai Meiji Culture Communication. Thank you for everything
JulyDec 24, 2018
I started working with shanghai Meiji one year ago, and since that time whenever I have problems or complaints they never hesitate to help me. Even though I had some difficulties with the school they were there for me all the time helping every step of the way. I hope in the future we will still get in touch no matter what.
HarryDec 24, 2018
The team at Shanghai Meiji are incredibly warm and helpful towards all of the international expats who come to Shanghai. They care greatly about the teachers and want to make sure that you are comfortable and happy while also achieving the best possible result you can and furthering your career as well as widening your CV. Over the course of two weeks you will be placed at a school and they will help you to set up all the necessary arrangements in good time!

MiaDec 20th, 2018
I love my life in Lianyungang. And everything thanx to Shanghai Meiji company. I'm here already 3 months when we arrived to China they met us in the airport and helped with upcoming issues of training before the work, preparing demo class and of course finding work. During my work they never let us down and always help us if we have any questions. Shanghai Meiji is a reliable company!

Just a little comment about our cooperation. It is always a pleasure to work with such professional partners who know their repsponsibilities and deliver exactly what was promised and signed in the contract. We wish all our partners could be such fans of what they are doing the same as Meiji! No doubts that our teachers who we are sending to Meiji are in caring, helpful, professional hands during all the contract period
AlinaDec 17th, 2018
I am the recruiter for English teachers in China. I have been working with Shanghai Meiji for more than two years. We have helped over 20 teachers find suitable positions. I really enjoy working with this team. They are very welcoming, friendly, responsive and responsible from the very beginning. We always do our best to help our teachers according to their needs together. It is such a pleasure working with them.
AleksandraDec 14th, 2018
I’ve been teaching in Shanghai for two months now at a training centre. I’m very happy with the work of Shanghai Meiji and agent September who was very attentive, helpful and caring. I can recommend this agency as they really care about the quality of job offers they propose to you, they are ready to meet your demands and are always ready to support you with any kind of information. The agency helped me to prepare for the interview and even gave me a training on my demo lesson which guaranteed a successful interview at the school. The school that was proposed to me turned out to be a great place where I met professional, creative and kind people. I enjoy every day at my school! For those who are looking for a teaching job in China I would recommend to scan youtube to get inspired from self-intro videos and demo lesson videos, then take time to talk with your agent and discuss your expectations. With Shanghai Meiji you will be in good hands! I’m very lucky to meet September and Shanghai Meiji team - with their help I have a great job and an amazing life here in Shanghai!
IlyaDec 14th, 2018
Now i really like it It's a lot of fun working with kids. Sometime i teach my colleagues English, they teach me Chinese. We go out to eat every day, i've experienced a lot of chinese food. I try my best, thank you
HarryDec 13th, 2018
I just wanted to tell you a little bit about my first day and some feedback! I have really enjoyed my first day of induction. All the teaching staff are lovely and the standard of learning with each tier is very high! It is great to Shadow Ryan and all of the teaching staff have been so welcoming and helpful! I even got to play Chinese drums for the first time and got an applause for my metre which was a real positive boost for me. I am really passionate about bringing my all to this team and really supporting the wonderful students here!
AnnieDec 13th, 2018
I'm good thank you! I like all about school and staff here. A couple days ago Annabelle helped me at the hospital as I have an acute flu here, now everything is good. The work place and my colleagues are wonderful.
Kier NOV 22nd, 2018
Hi, I am Kier,i have been with Shanghai Meiji about 5 months.China has very different culture but i could speak to everyone in Shanghai.Shanghai is very convenient especially a lot of convenient shops make my life easier.We can use wechat to pay anything in China.My teaching experience was amazing,the class was so well-behaved,one of my favourite class and i had a lot of fun with the kids.China is really great and if you really like teaching,you might consider China as one of the country to gain teaching experience.

I've been teaching in China for 6 months and the advice that i can give you guys don't pack too heavily,you can find a lot of things here in China and it's very easy to setup your life with open mind.Regarding teaching in the center i worked at,with all the resources and supplies together with the local teachers on hand to help us during the teaching process.I took really young kids which is they provide a lot of energy going into the classroom and it's very easy for you to engage with them and get them ready.It is really amazing experience to teach in China.
Sash Nov 1st , 2018
I have been teaching in China with Shanghai Meiji for the past 6 months in the internship.It is not scary to become a teacher,it is best way to learn and gain confidence.Dont be afraid or frustrated of the job.You can do it!Regarding culture shock the first thing you should know about China is completely a cashless economy you use a lot of electornic payments so make sure your phones with wechat and a lot of applications.Get a VPN if you want to get in touch with family via using Skype and Whatapps.Lastly you will spend a lot of time working so you can order the food delivery online.It is simply amazing!
Gwynett Nov 1st, 2018
I'm 22 years old and I came to China to teach English. This has been an eye opener for me because being so far away from home and knowing no one is really hard. But then as soon as I started teaching and making some friends it became so much more exciting especially working with the kids not knowing what to expect from them next. Teaching in China is the best and the kids really made me feel loved and cherished. lee: My agency, Shanghai Meiji really helped me alot from placing me in a hotel to finding me the best school to teach at. If I had to rate Shanghai Meiji, it would definitely be 15/10 They will make you feel right at home even when you are so far away from home ❤ Shanghai Meiji is simply amazing
The school Nov 1st, 2018
Teacher evaluation: Annie is very patient and she gets along well with our colleagues. Suggestion: In order to achieve better mobilization of classroom atmosphere and better teaching results, we hope she will be able to increase her ability to design different activities and games during circle time and in her teaching time according to different kids' English levels. School evaluation: She is always on time and has a high degree of work coordination. Since she started to work, she has never been late or left early. We hope We will continue this great attitude and keep doing her best at work. We are grateful to the Shanghai Meiji for its support for our work. They have delivered so many high-quality foreign teachers to us and we really enjoyed this happy cooperation with them and We hope that we can continue to cooperate together happily!
Sophie Nov 1st, 2018
Hello Mona, here is my testimonial. Working at Abie has been unlike any other job I have ever had. It's been fantastic so far to have my own classes and to be able to teach the children new words, songs and conversation patterns. Working life at the school is very different to anything I have ever experienced in the UK and it has been interesting to observe cultural differences at work. The other Foreign teachers at the school are great. Very friendly and willing to explain the way the classes and school work. Zhenhai has some decent things to offer and is about 45 mins away from a livelier area with more bars, restaurants and shops. Being close to Ningbo university means that there are a lot of foreigners around to meet and socialise with as well.
The Huaibei school Oct 29th, 2018
Kieran treats all colleagues and children politely and is also full of energy at school every day. He expresses infectious enthusiasm to everyone at school, and he always helped other new foreign teachers to get on track soon at work. His working attitude with Teacher Riley is an example for our teachers in our center. When Teacher Kieran was in class, he always talked to each child patiently and made sure each kid could pronounce the words correctly. I remember that once, the children were naughty, Teacher Kieran adopted a conciliatory tone toward them, and worked perfectly with our Chinese teachers to complete the class content. Teacher Kieran actively treated his work, took the initiative to work overtime to complete the day's work, and often got to the center earlier to prepare the teaching aids for the day. The children and parents from our center are all fond of him.
Lewis Oct 22nd, 2018
Shanghai Meiji is a professional and trustworthy choice for recruiting Foreign English Teachers. They made a great job choosing the candidates for the vacant post in our school. We also received their support and advice during the interviews, which helped us a lot when making our decision. We always received prompt replies to all of our enquiries. We will definately cooperate with them in future recruitments.
Becky Oct 22nd, 2018
As principal of Ailu Kindergarten I have had the pleasure of working closely with Kris since August 2018. She is a driven, organized teacher who develops inspiring relationships with her students. Kris has always been driven to develop her skills as a teacher and embraces any opportunity for professional development. Kris also has excellent written and verbal communication skills with both parents and teachers. She accomplishes all these tasks with great initiative and with a positive attitude.We are glad that she has become an integral part of our teaching team. I am very grateful to Zack of Shanghai Meiji for recommending such a great talent for us. This will be the best start for our long-term cooperation.
Cynthia Oct 22nd, 2018
I have been cooperating with Shanghai Meiji since the end of 2017 and lasting almost a year. I feel that work with Zack is very delightful. Instead of working together, we actually help each other like friends. He is very professional. He gives me very clear information while recommending foreign teachers, and also helps me to choose a suitable foreign teacher in the early stage which saving a lot of time for each other. Sometimes I don't notice the small details, he will remind me at first, and showing his circumspection. The post-service is also very reassuring to me. After the recommendation has been successful, they will continue to maintain not only the quality of foreign teachers' work but also the concern of visa issues. It is my pleasure to cooperate with Zack. I believe that we will have many cooperation opportunities afterwards.
Claire Oct 9th, 2018
Teacher Angelina has been working in the school for more than one year, she is responsible and has never been late of work. She is very caring for children, and the kids like her very much. The one-year contract expired, and we also renewed our second year contract with her. Before returned to her home country, The parents even prepared a small cake for her! It is easily to tell that Angelina's professional and kind hearted have won the love of parents and children. The probability of her renewal is also very high, indicating that parents have high recognition of her teaching skills. I am really grateful to Zack and Shanghai Meiji for recommending such a great foreign teacher. There will be more cooperation in the future.
Michelle Oct 9th, 2018
We have collaborated with Shanghai Meiji for a period. I feel that they are the most professional one in such many recruitment institutions, especially Zack. Every time he did the background check for our candidates is done in great detail, which makes us feel relieved. The foreign teacher candidates are experienced, very caring, and meticulous in teaching. Both of parents and children like them so much! We also renewed the contract very delightly after one year of cooperation.
Jaco Sep 25th, 2018
In May 2018 I set off to one of my greatest experiences and adventures to date. Teaching English as an intern with Shanghai Meiji. I will admit, the moment I finally decided to go to China and buy the plane ticket I was very excited, but also a bit scared and unsure. A wise man once told me (or I read it somewhere) that if your dreams does not scare you they are not big enough... I had no idea what to expect and really tried my best not to set a specific expectation. No expectation = No disappointment. Finally, I arrived in Shanghai! After a long day when things quieted down I was thinking about something strange... No culture shock! The culture shock only came a few months later when I really started to live like and with the locals, the moment you try to immerse yourself into the culture. You realize that the cultural difference between East and West is huge. This is what makes the trip even more amazing! Getting out of your comfort zone. Shanghai is a world class city. One of the best I have seen in my life! Everything is busy, fast and efficient. After a week of training at the offices of Shanghai Meiji I had a few interviews and was excepted to a small school a few hours from Shanghai. It is here where I would have a lot of life changing moments. I am teaching children between the ages of four and seven years of age. Something I did not expect is how much satisfaction I will get being a teacher. You have this amazing opportunity to see the students grow and develop their English skills right in front of your eyes. It is very satisfactory to see students who could not speak or understand a word of English having basic conversations with you after only a few months of teaching them. It makes you feel good when parents tell you that they can see your teaching is working because their son is starting to talk with a South African accent… Something I do have to admit is that teaching is hard work. You spend a lot of time preparing and making sure everything goes according to plan (it very seldom does). Somedays you feel like you are the best teacher in the word. The children are learning and enjoying your class. They learn so well. Then there are some days where you feel like nothing is working. The class was undisciplined and it seems like they forgot everything you taught them. It can be a rollercoaster ride at times… I found a lot more ups than downs! I really enjoyed my time here in China. To see, experience and to live in this amazing culture and country changed my life for the better. It shook off all this weird perceptions people in the West have about China. It makes you realize that there is such an amazing world outside your little box you are living in daily. I would recommend anyone to take a chance on life and experience everything for yourself. You will be amazed at what you can find!

I was contacted by Stephan from Shanghai Meiji whilst seeking a teaching job in Shanghai. Stephan helped to find a job for me teaching primary school science at a bilingual school. This was perfect as it suited my interests as well as teaching experience. Stephan and his colleagues were professional and helpful in every way.
Karina Sep 20th, 2018
I was very lucky to find Shanghai Meiji. I cooperated with Stephan and he helped me with the position I am currently working. Work description was absolutely identical to the real offer, he works very fast and the whole process took just around 2 days. Thank you for your professionalism.
Irina Sep 20th, 2018
I would like to share my experience with Shanghai Meiji Company. This summer I started looking for a new job and Bhumi was one of the recruiters I added.Surprisingly,she was the only one among all of them who was very professional ,always sending me messages about arranging time and listening carefully about my job expectations. She was quite persistent ,but in a positive way showing her professional attitude towards her work.After arranging the day and time for interview ,they even accompanied me to school ,which was also nice.Moreover,even now when I ve already found a job with the company’s help,they still supervise me and help to deal with any occurring issues! My advice ,if you looking for a new job,Don’t hesitate to contact these guys,they know their job
Ted Sep 18th, 2018
My name is Ted Shelov. Last year after I ended my work at Shanghai JiaoTong University, Shanghai Meiji, and particularly Stephan, helped me get a job as Head of English at a Bilingual High School here in Shanghai. They were completely professional and considerate, their communication skills were excellent. I could not have been happier with the process. They brought me to meet the Principals and advocated for me at each turn.
Charles Sep 18th, 2018
My experience with Shanghai Meiji was outstanding. Stephan worked diligently to find the best jobs available, with the requirements I gave him, leading to multiple interviews with different schools. He maintained constant contact with me to keep me informed on the status of his progress in job searching. Their help and commitment to finding me the most suitable job could not have been any better!
Anastasiya Sep 17th, 2018
No matter how high your expectations are Meiji will do it’s best to meet them all. Just list your requirements and get a call from Stephan who has already set an interview for you.
Adam Mills Sep 17th, 2018
Meiji helped me land my dream job. In April 2018 I was looking for my next position when I contacted Stephan, and he brought several good options to the table. He arranged a demo for me in a top 10 school in Shanghai, I went in and did well and was offered a fantastic opportunity two hours later. I've already started the new term and I couldn't be happier!
Julia Sep 10th, 2018
Hello everyone! My name is Julia and I’m an English teacher. When I decided to move to China for work I came across Shanghai Meiji company. I got acquainted with Stephan who helped me a lot with all the negotiations with schools, documents I needed to prepare and procedures I needed to go through in order to start the job. I really appreciate the kindness and patience he showed towards me when explaining all the details. After arriving to Shanghai I was able to start my job immediately without any troubles. So I had a very positive experience with Shanghai Meiji and I’d recommend it to anyone!
Luis Sep 10th, 2018
If you need to find a job in Shanghai, Meiji is the best agency to choose for your teaching job needs. Not only did Meiji help me find a job by sending me several job postings with reasonable salaries and packages. Meiji helped me negotiate my contract and helped me with all my visa and school questions. For those of you that don’t speak much Chinese it’s a comfort to know that they have a good staff that speaks good English, which is an extra plus. Special shout out to Stephan for helping me find my current job.
George Sep 10th, 2018
Shanghai Meiji assisted me in finding the best fit according to my expectations and qualifications. So they found me a very special training centre to work there as a STEM teacher. Recruiter Bhumi tried her best and after a while she managed to find a very interesting position for me. I am really grateful for her efforts and looking forward to meeting in person in shanghai! :-)
Misha Sep 10th, 2018

Alana Sep 7th, 2018
Hi, my name is Alana and I’ve had a great experience cooperating with Shanghai Meiji company. Thanks to amazing people Stephan and Zack, my job hunt was really easy and fun. They found me a perfect position I was searching for, only in couple of days after I sent my CV to their company, and placed me in a comfortable working environment. Shanghai Meiji company is very recommended by me, if you’re looking for a perfect place to work and don’t want to waste your time.
Wesley Sep 7th, 2018
Hey, my name is Wesley and I’m working as an English Teacher in shanghai thanks to Meiji Agency. They arranged some interviews for me and didn’t give up until they found an amazing school, taking into consideration all my requirements. I also really appreciate Bhumi and Ronnie, they were super helpful and friendly.
Amy Sep 7th, 2018
I had experience with many agencies in Shanghai, while I was looking for a teaching position. Finally, I got lucky and I found Shanghai Meiji. Shanghai Meiji helped me a lot. Recruiter Bhumi, found the position according to all my requirements. My interview was set up for tomorrow, so fast! Bhumi even asked the school to prepare all stuff for my demo. With the help of so professional and nice agents like Bhumi and Ronnie , I got this position! They are always online and interested in how everything is going at my work. To sum it up, I can say that Shanghai Meiji is the very professional agency which advances the interests of their teachers.
Philip Sep 7th, 2018
My experience with both Meiji and Stephan was overall great. They were very helpful in finding me a good school and also answered any questions that I had. Even after I got the job, Meiji made sure everything was ok and going smoothly. Meiji was very professional and I will be using them again in the future.
The job hunting process can be stressful, but not when you link up with a professional who has your best interests in mind. Linda Park is incredible. She helped me source a job with the exact criteria I had provided her with and kept me updated throughout the entire process. It was apparent from the beginning that her goal wasn't to fill any available position, but to find the perfect fit for me. Her attention to detail, responsiveness and support made finding and securing a job abroad a breeze. Shanghai Meiji went above and beyond what is normally expected from a recruiting agency. Thank you again Shanghai Meiji and Linda Park.
It is with gratitude that I am making this testimonial for Linda and Shanghai Meiji. I have had many negative experiences, with recruitment agencies in Shanghai. So, I was apprehensive when I was contacted by Linda about a teaching position. This is because many agencies look after the companies best interests. They don't care if the company is fair with its employees, or if they are honest. It's always about making a commission. With Shanghai Meiji, it is the complete opposite. They match the teacher with the best employment opportunities on the market. Satisfying both the teacher and the school is their top priority. Linda helped secure me the best position that I have had, in China. I couldn't recommend Linda and Shanghai Meiji more!
After leaving my old education company I registered with Shanghai Meiji. From the beginning I felt supported and was introduced to good roles in education in Shanghai. I secured a fantastic job within a week of registering with Shanghai Meiji and have been supported with the visa application procedures. Shanghai Meiji always has solutions when problems arise. I cannot recommend Shanghai Meiji and Linda enough.
After dealing with several sketchy agents, Stephan and his collegues were a breath of fresh air. Professional, friendly amd extremely helpful throughout the entire process. They listened to requirements and didn't waste any time in finding an ideal position for me. Recommended.
Stephan was a great help throughout the recruitment process from the start, with a personal phone call to ask for all of my important details and requirements - to finish (and beyond) when he continued to help me with visa complications long after I had been hired! Could not be happier with the service I received. Thank you so much Stephan!
Hi ! My name is Maggie . When I first came to Shanghai, I had no teaching experience at all. But after teacher training at Shanghai Meiji and their help through one year working together, now I am in love with teaching and also China. Shanghai Meiji was first step in my life in China. They provided great service and always helpful when I had difficulties in China. By the way, I have also met a lot of new friends and a loving husband.
Hi everyone. My name is Matt and I'm just about to finish my one year contract with Shanghai Meiji. Almost a year ago I decided to sign up for the intern program and I can honestly say that I don't regret it. When I first came to them I didn't have much experience as an English teacher, didn't know much about teaching methods, especially how to teach English to young learners. To put it all together, I wanted to work as a teacher but all I could do was to speak English. After I signed up for the program, the first week they provided an efficient training session, which they explained how to teach small kids, how to react in different classroom situations and they helped us practice. The second week, I already got a job. Unfortunately, it didn't work out at my first job and guess what? Immediately, I got a second position. The second school was really great and I have been working there ever since. Throughout the year Shanghai Meiji provided all the support I needed the most and learning materials to help me along the way.
The intern program helped me when I first arrived in China without speaking the language and had no idea how to gain my teaching skill. Wonderful trainer, Sarah at Shanghai Meiji started our trainings the first week. Shanghai Meiji helped me find an apartment, and got my Chinese sim card and also bank card. Every question I asked was quickly and professionally solved. If you ever think about teaching in China and wondering which agency to trust, you can choose Shanghai Meiji.
