The school will provide a "resident permit" for her to stay in China but since you are only her boyfriend you are on your own for arranging a visa for a long term stay..the school will not help. New tourist visas/renewals can be obtained in Hong Kong..check into multiple entry..saves you the trouble of having to reapply every time to re-enter the country.Sharing the apartment which should be provided to your girlfriend by the school will also be a problem.The school may frown on the idea of you living together "in sin" as the old saying goes...best to say you are just a "friend" who showed up and would like to visit for a few weeks....if the demand for teachers is high where she is going you might not need any "skills" to get yourself a job teaching..just the fact you speak english will be enough...good luck!
