Suzhou is 1.5 hours from Shanghai in most traffic conditions. Never go to China to teach on a tourist visa, you are asking for trouble if you do. The salary you should expect in Shanghai (INCLUDING ROOM AND BOARD) ranges between 6,000 - 10,000 Rmb based on your experience. Alot of schools in Shanghai are no longer including apartment, make sure they do, cause if you have to pay for the apartment with a meager supplement, you are going to lose money.

check out a company called Susoft in suzhou. They offered me a job for 8K a month with furnished app. might have a roomy though. Suzhou is about 30 mins away from shanghai by train so its doable.

Your salary will be variable, and depend on your experience level, and your degrees and certifications.

If you just have a bachelor’s degree and no teaching experience, you will get a basic entry level salary of 6000-8000 RMB per month, and a single apartment provided by the company.

English First has a very good reputation, and is a reputable company.

If you have a TEFL certification or TESOL Master’s Degree, you will get more than 10,000 RMB per month.
