Efficient, helpful and experienced.

I was passed on as a client to David by another agent in Beijing, as he has vast experience in employment for International schools.
As soon as we spoke, things moved quickly and within three days I had been interviewed and given an offer.
He was extremely supportive, communicative and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure I
1. Was offered a suitable role and
2. Got the position.
Highly recommended.

Timely and responsive!

I reached out to David in my search for careers in China. I didn't hear back from him for a while at first, but once I did, things moved fast. He was able to get my documents authenticated in three weeks (other agencies take months) and introduced me to the HR manager at the job I currently have, which is a great fit for me. I have David to thank! I would recommend him to anyone.

Would not recommend this company at all!

Would not recommend this 'Hiring Service' Took all of my personal information and 'linked' me to a employer.... Employer did not seem legit, after waiting for over 5-6 months after a formal interview, have not heard from the company. It is clear that this is a ploy just to get reviews and seem like an established company. I would look other places and not waste your time!

Reply from China By Teaching

Hello Antonio, we are genuinely sorry you felt the need to leave this review. We successfully got you a job offer at a credible school in China. If I am not mistaken you received a contract from the school from the head of their foreign department. Unfortunately, since the situation with the borders changed, this schools and almost all schools can no longer bring teachers from outside China. This remains the case at the moment.

We are sorry the school did not follow up after the initial job offer, however, we were unaware there was an issue between you and the school and there was no further contact from you.

You interviewed with a genuine school and we are happy to provide documentary evidence to show this. We also encourage you to get in contact with us again. With can't promise we can get you a job in China right now because of the border situation, but we will endeavour to do so.

Excellent and speedy service

After applying through their website, David swiftly responded and answered all my questions. We had an informal chat over Skype and, shortly after, I had my interview with the school. The entire time, David was available to answer any question quickly and honestly, and made the whole hiring experience stress-free and easy-going. His energy is incredible. Totally recommend!

When I was looking for a new challenge

When I was looking for a new challenge, I had heard that China offered the most competitive packages, but had no idea how to navigate the many different opportunities available. After speaking with the China by Teaching team, I was 100% clear on what I wanted, what exactly was on offer based on my experience, and how to go about getting the position. I was very happy with the position I landed. With hindsight, I can say that it was the best position I could have landed based on my experience at the time.

I was satisfied with the service provided from the initial consultation call all the way through to onboarding with my new school. I was particularly impressed and grateful for the coaching I received on how to do well on the interview. I would highly recommend this service to anyone thinking of teaching in China. It is a comprehensive service that helps to secure the best position possible based on experience and needs.

Great experience

My consultant David, made my process very easy for me. I applied with China by teaching and within a few days I had an interview. David was very attentive and asked about my job preferences, salary expectations etc. He then matched me to a few schools then I chose those I were interested in interviewing with. Once I found my perfect school, David helped me negotiate with them which was super cool! My whole experience was personalized and professional. Although I have secured my job role I can still ask David any questions or queries about China that I might have. I can confidently say that China by teaching has the best interest for its candidates. I would highly recommend!

Top-tier recruitment company! Reputable leads!

My experience working with David has been top-notch to say the least. I expressed my expectations and David personally found a position that best suited me. David only works with some of the most reputable ESL companies all throughout China. I was connected with a major education company and accepted the job within 3 days! I am sure you can find your dream job through his help.

No nonsense and easy to deal with

I was first brought to the site after I saw one of their blog posts online. I decided to get in touch about a potential job in Beijing and everything went smoothly from there. No nonsense and very easy to deal with.

Easy applying process, very friendly and helpful team.

I first heard about China By Teaching when researching for TEFL jobs. I applied through the website and within a day was called to discuss my CV and have a quick chat about what I was looking for. David and the team supplied me with all the relevant information I needed and were on hand to assist me with everything from visa information to getting a DBS check. Within a week I had interviews and offers from schools. The process couldn't have been easier!
