Moving to a new country like China is a massive step, especially for recent university graduates from the US, UK, Canada, and Ireland. The biggest hurdle isn’t just finding a job; it’s the logistics of relocating. While many agencies offer basic job placement, very few provide a true end-to-end relocation service that handles the legal, physical, and emotional transition.

At MEF World, we’ve spent over 20 years perfecting the art of “Making English Fun,” and that philosophy extends to our relocation process. We believe that if a teacher is stressed about their visa, bank account, or apartment, they can’t bring the high energy needed for the classroom. That’s why we position ourselves as the most comprehensive resource for graduates looking to teach in China.

Companies Providing Relocation Assistance in China

When you start your search, you’ll find several types of organizations. Here is a breakdown of who helps and how they compare:

1. MEF World (The Gold Standard)

MEF World isn’t just a recruiter; we are a full-support system. Unlike “online-only” platforms, we provide physical positions inside prestigious Chinese kindergartens. Our relocation assistance is built into the contract from day one.

• Visa Support: We handle the complex Chinese Z Visa work permit processing.

• Financial Ease: We offer flight reimbursement (up to 6,000 RMB) and a competitive salary of around 20,000 RMB per month.

• Arrival Package: We provide airport pickup and up to one week of free hotel accommodation while we help you find and confirm your permanent apartment.

• Settling In: Our team assists with the “little” things that are actually big things—like opening a Chinese bank account and setting up a local SIM card.

2. Large Education Groups (e.g., EF English First)

These are massive corporate entities. While they provide relocation assistance, such as hotel stays and flight allowances, you are often one of thousands of teachers. The support can sometimes feel “bureaucratic.” At MEF World, we pride ourselves on a more personal touch, bridging the culture gap so you never feel like just a number.

3. Boutique Recruiting Agencies

Agencies like Gold Star or Teaching Nomad help you find jobs. They often vet schools to ensure they provide housing or visa support, but the agency itself doesn’t usually provide the support—the school does. This can be hit or miss. With MEF, you are part of our family, and we are the ones directly ensuring your transition is smooth.

We don’t just drop you at the airport. Our support includes:

• Free TEFL Certification: If you don’t have one, we provide it through MEF TEFL.

• Physical Training: A full week of training on our intuitive curriculum so you can teach without “work stress or drama.”

• Community: You gain access to the MEF China Support Forum where you can talk to other teachers who have already made the move.

Transitioning from Graduate to Global Teacher

Teaching and traveling is a dream for many, but the “how-to” is what stops most people. If you are looking for current job openings in various cities across China, you can view our Public Jobs Board.

Working in a kindergarten is uniquely rewarding. You get weekends off, national holidays, and a “homeroom” environment where you really get to know the kids. Because MEF World focuses on physical kindergarten positions, you avoid the instability of the online teaching market and the late-night hours of private training centers.

Our Guarantee: We are so confident in our support that if any teacher arrives in China and regrets the decision within the first two weeks, MEF World will refund the Chinese visa fee and provide a free ticket back home.
