    that would be fine. I just moved to Xi Xang so I am not too far from Nanshan now.. I do have some advice for you. I learned this. The best way to find a good job, is not to look for a job. Networking is the way to go. Find a good reliable Chinese friend who is honest, reliable, and dependable. Than ask him or her to go directly to the schools, private training centers, and contact them directly for you. Or maybe you can do this yourself. Also try to find a listing of some schools in your area, or training centers on the interenet. I think there are some websites that lists these for you, but since I can not read chinese they are no good to me. Next, try to find part time jobs, at least three of them. Find a kindergarten or primary school in the day time morning. They may pay you around 5000 to 7000, but you are only there for three hours, and you do not have to stay there all day. Then try to find a training center that will let you work from 5 to 9. maybe tues thru friday, and than try to find another one that will let you work on sate or sun for them, or you can try to find some private students to teach at night or on the weekends. I do not recommend teaching 2 to 3 yr olds, since like a big hastle. If you do, charge them 200 an hour for just one, cause its so much trouble. Stay away from agents, they make very high commissions, and they are not honest. They will never tell you how much they are really making off you. Maybe the best way for you to find the private students is too find some Chinese teacher assistants become friends with them, and ask them to find some parents and students at their schools to see if they want private tutoring. Best to find ones that work at the rich schools if you can. Also can try this. Find about 10 really good websites for private tutoring. Many of them are in chinese so I can not use them. One more suggestion, if you can do this. Go out to the parks, and gardens and do open classes if you can. If you are not comfertable or think this is too risky than forget it. One more idea for you. If you can find some good websites like, youku.com, or if was not banned here in China, something like Youtube. You can actually make some live videos of yourself teaching classes, this will be good advertisiing for you. Many people will visit these websites. That is all I have now, remember never go through agents. And when you contact schools, or training centers, always ask them how much they will pay , and what day, and how many classes per week, what time, and try to talk to the other teachers who work there before you commit to signing a contract, they will tell you if the bosses are good or bad
