Relevant information! I taught in Chongqing for two years (in the south) and still needed a jacket for the winter time. If that's when you're arriving make sure to check the seasonal weather so you're not under-prepared like I was!
I'm going to be teaching in an adult center. I have black pants, but I also have brown, brown with red/purple stripes, navy blue, blue/green plaid, and beige pants as well. I'd like to know if I can wear these clothes as they are my business professional clothes. I also would like to know if I can wear turtlenecks, etc.
Hi Dianna, you'll have to double check with the airline you'll be flying with, in terms of the luggage restrictions. You only need your essentials with you. You can learn more here about what you should pack: www.englishfirst.com/esl-jobs/what-to-pack-for-your-year-with-ef-china/.
Can a uniform top be provided if I will be working at an adult center? I don't have a lot of business style tops because I haven't really had the need for them.
Hi Jacob, at the adult centres we don't usually provide uniform tops. This is only for the kids and teen schools. A plain shirt would be okay, you could pick one up at Uniqlo or H&M when you arrive for less than $25
Hi Faisa, we have a uniform for all teachers to wear - beige pants and EF English First t-shirts, and for the winter, long-sleeved shirts. We do have some teachers who wear their head scarf while they teach, but you can discuss it further with your recruiter to see what your center's dresscode policy would be and what you would be most comfortable teaching in. Kind regards, Erica
Yes, I guess that is what it is. I'm not sure, I just heard the word 'deposit' at 12:10. I am just trying to determine how much I should bring with me overall.
Hi Sierra, it depends where you teach. If you teach English to kids and teens, you would need to wear khakis. If you teach English to adults, you could wear black pants.

Great information, thanks for sharing. It has answered all my questions on what to bring.
Super informative. Thank you.
What is the name of the adapter for charging and the voltage?

Will I be able to bring an instrument?
Hi Grant
You will have to double check with your airline on their baggage regulations, but you should be able to bring it.
Warm regards
Erica
What about sheets and blankets, pillows, coffee maker, etc.?
You can buy all of those things when you arrive, without a problem :)
@@EFenglishfirst.WorkAbroad So, fill both suitcases with only clothes and shoes? We're allowed two huge suitcases and one carry-on, right?

Why do you need 10k in yuan?
I hope they respond

This would be really helpful for me too, would it be at all possible to arrange this?
As a Muslim, I would like to know if I can wear a long black dress(abayah), a religious dress which is worn normally.

Everyone I see in the videos are very young. Do you have any "older" teachers?
Yes, wee have teachers of all ages joining us. Due to local visa regulations, we accept teachers up to 54 years of age.
@@EFenglishfirst.WorkAbroad Bummer. I am 55. It would have been a great experience.
What is "the deposit"?
Hi Dave, do you mean the deposit for accommodation?
Yes, I guess that is what it is. I'm not sure, I just heard the word 'deposit' at 12:10. I am just trying to determine how much I should bring with me overall.

Can women wear black pants or do they have to be khaki
Hi Sierra, it depends where you teach. If you teach English to kids and teens, you would need to wear khakis. If you teach English to adults, you could wear black pants.
