| Post subject: Summer job/internship opportunities |
I'm an NYU student studing Chinese at East China Normal University through NYU's study abroad program. A friend of mine and I are planning on staying in Shanghai until the end of August and directly enrolling in classes at ECNU. Besides morning classes (ends at 12) five days a week, both of us are looking for both A. Paying Jobs (probably teaching english or some sort of restaurant work), and B. Internship opportunities (either paid or unpaid). We are both willing to work on weekends and have pretty flexible schedules besides morning classes. We both speak some chinese but are NOT fluent, although we will obviously be improving as the summer goes on. Both of us have restaurant experience and are Americans.
I'm guess I'm just asking if anyone knows any good companies to work for teaching english that are relaxed. We have exteremely limited experience teaching english and would really prefer something where we can chat and be casual teachers ( like an english corner) as opposed to being forced into formal lesson plans and text books. If anyone knows a decent company that might be interested (paying something in the area of 100RMB an hour) please let us know, China might be cheap but I think any expat can tell you it is easy to blow through alot of cash here.
We are also looking for business opportunities. Niether one of us is business majors, but we are taking NYU business classes here and would love any sort of interesting business internships. This is obviously very limited by our language restrictions, but if anyone is looking for some interns please let me know.
Thank you guys so much for for your time and responses, if anyones interested they can email me direct at Wpg205@nyu.edu or post here. Thanks again. |

It's getting more and more difficult to teach without a proper work permit, but you might still be lucky finding a school that will accept you. Just remember that if you get caught you'll get deported right away!
Try some of the larger schools (google)
English First
Longre
New Oriental
China Top
The salary levels are way over 100,- an hour, don't accept anything below 150,- and for private tutoring it's usually around 200,- an hour. |
