Summer Stipend (Salary)
Summer Programs are a great way to experience China on a short-term basis without the commitment of a long teaching contract. Due to the short-term nature of the summer programs, they are intensive. We offer a small summer teaching stipend of 800 - 1,000 RMB to individuals who have paid non-discounted program fees. (Based on 6 Periods Per Day, Stipend is Provided by the school and based on your performance as evaluated by the school. )
Who can apply?
Teachers, Student Teachers, Working Professionals seeking an exciting change of life, and College Undergraduates seeking to share the gift of their language while learning Chinese. you must be culturally sensitive and tolerant to change in schedule and other last minute notifications as these things are quite common from your Chinese hosts.
Do I have to Pay to go to China for the Summer?
Yes. Pay attention to the value of our program, not the cost, then compare with other programs. You will not find another program with the same value. If you want to go to China without the provided tours, of course it is cheaper, but then, what is the point of going to China without the fabulous tours!?
Airfare costs $1700, Why is your program so Cheap?
Your teaching supplements the cost of the touring and travel.
I'm a teacher who is already in China, do I have to pay?
No! If you have a valid visa or residence permit. Provide us with a letter of reference, a copy of your diploma and resume and we will contact you about PAID positions in China. Journeyeast Teachers already residing in China can expect a summer salary almost twice their regular semester salary.
Will I get Paid at all for my work in China?
Those individuals who paid the regular non-promotional fees the school will provide you with a small stipend provided by the school.
Are there any other costs?

Visa Processing ChinaVisaService.org offers huge discount for our teachers. We will process your visa for you for $198, compare at $230 with any other visa service company.
I Heard Other Teachers Are getting Paid for the Summer, Can I find a Paid Position?
Are these people already in China working and teaching on a working z-visa? Are they getting a tour of Shanghai and Beijing? Different organizations market these programs in different ways. Due to the high cost of airfare and availability of seats, if you are not already a teacher living in China, you will not find gainful salary in any program and chances are very good that tours of Shanghai or Beijing are not provided. Remember, unlike other programs airfare is included in the total package cost!
Why do some folks pay $2,800 while others have paid $1590 for the same program?
Journeyeast offers deep discounted packages in January and February. Applying early helps us negotiate contracts with airlines for the busy season to keep costs low. Many camp participants take advantage of this opportunity and paid their program fee in January. Certified teachers receive discounts as well. Folks who applied in March through May pay the regular trip cost while applicants who were accepted in June are paying higher costs for market price of airfare and expedited processing fees.
Let's explore the concept of "value.."
Looking across the internet you'll find all sorts of programs offering teaching opportunities in China. Some say they only charge $800 - $1000 for their program fee. Then after you've added up the additional cost of airfare (About $1700) and the cost of obtaining your visa ($230), then travel insurance, ($200) you find that the total cost to you is actually much more than you expected and they don't offer you a single tour!
With journeyeast.org, your summer program cost includes round trip international airfare from Los Angeles, all food and lodging and more importantly, it includes tours of Shanghai and Hangzhou and all transportation in between. In-Country phone support and interpretation are also included.
