I am an english teacher in China. If you plan to visit china before you start a teaching job (which I think is best as you can see the schools up close) don't forget these points. When you visit china you will have an L visa (a tourist visa). To work in china you need a Z or F visa. to obtain a working visa you will need to leave china and apply at a chinese embassy in another country. Or go to Hong Kong. An L visa can't be changed to a Z/F in china. Also to get a Z/F visa (Z is better by the way) You will also need an invitation letter from the school. So make sure the school can offer you this letter (written by a government officer in the province you will live in). Sometimes they can't and they get waiguo teachers from other schools. You will also need a medical test. That test is done in china during the first 30 days you are here as an english teacher. in those days the school will register you with the local police and you will get a resident permit for the city you will work in. the school should know this but if not you should remind them of this. :-) this permit is very important. as the Z/F visa only gives you 30 days in China.

你不想去北京或上海？为什么？我觉得挺好的呀，那你看看其他城市的外国语大学吧（foreign studies or language university）.给你几个建议：天津市——天津外国语（tianjin foreign studies university），大连市——大连外国语dalian university of foreign languages，西安——西安外国语大学xian international studies university，广州——广东外语外贸大学（guangdong university of language studies）

外教的话，补习班比较会用，就像“language school”之类，要不就是一些大学，学校用外教比较少，做家教也不错。

我倒觉得不一定要去特别好的学校,我的学校很差,也有不少外教. 中国倒也不缺外教,尤其是大城市,而且薪水方面的待遇也和别的发达国家有差距. 我推荐你来西安,西安是著名的古都和旅游城市,如果你对中国的古文明和历史感兴趣,你不妨来西安看看,哪怕只是旅游. 并且这里居住和生活着很多来自世界各个国家的外国人,你来了也不会感觉到孤单. 不过我希望不要只要是个会说英语的外国人就来中国教英语,还是要有一定水平或者教书资格的.我是中国人,母语是中文,会一定的英语,我估计我也不能出去教中文.中国有句话叫切莫误人子弟,教育孩子应该是一件很严肃的事情.

It said that our school,Minjiang University, short of foreign teachers.And I think Fuzhou is a good city.May you can try. 我们学校有外教，但还没有会说中文的外教呢。
