We built YouTeacher because we got tired of waiting for someone else to fix it.

ESL teachers have been navigating the same broken job boards since the late 1990s. Outdated search. No salary transparency. No way to know if a school is legitimate before you accept an offer and book a flight.

We've both seen what happens when that goes wrong. So we decided to build the platform we always wished existed.

Beijing Normal University No. 2 High School, 2010. Mojo was the student in the back who could recite Eminem lyrics faster than he could write an essay. Sixteen years later, he built this platform.

→ Teachers use YouTeacher free. No exceptions, ever.

→ Salary should be visible on every listing, not hidden behind an application.

→ Schools should be accountable. Anonymity protects scammers, not teachers.

→ Finding a job abroad shouldn't require six browser tabs and a leap of faith.

We're just getting started. YouTeacher launched in April 2026 with job aggregation across the major China platforms, but the roadmap goes much further.

Coming next:

→ Verified school badges. Schools that have passed our vetting process, clearly marked so you know before you apply.

→ Scam detection tools. AI-assisted flagging of suspicious listings, contract red flags, and employer patterns that don't add up.

→ Teacher reviews. Verified, honest feedback from teachers who've actually worked at a school.

→ Salary data by city. Real numbers from real teachers, not whatever a recruiter decided to write.

→ Community layer. A place to ask questions, share experiences, and connect with people who've made the same move you're considering.

The goal is simple: make moving to China to teach English the least risky career decision you've ever made.
