Hi! I'm a Filipino-Chinese and is there a possibility to find a teaching job in Taiwan?We Answered:
Having a degree is important, having experience is excellent - but if you want to teach in one of the better schools then having an English qualification (TEFL, TESOL or CELTA...) of some sort would be very helpful.Not every school requires an English qualification - but certainly the one's in the bigger cities and towns will.
Good luck!

I want learn mandarin Chinese in China? Is it possible for me to find a english teaching job there to finance?We Answered:
You should have no problem whatsoever finding a job teaching English. None. Whatsoever.How much it will pay is a different story. Having a B.A./B.S. degree from a college or university would making getting something that paid better much easier.
If your ambition is just to study Mandarin, and aren't requiring being enrolled in a formal program at a school or university, then it would be fairly simple.
Just figure out where you want to live and search for a job. Once you have a job, you will have no shortage of students that will volunteer for nothing to teach you Chinese in exchange for English tutorials. I had numerous students ask me on a regular basis if they could teach me Chinese in exchange for English tutorials, so many you get tired of saying no. Even if you choose to pay a qualified student to teach you wouldn't need pay more than 25 RMB an hour.
If you expect to be in a degree program, that's a different story. You probably won't make enough money to finance that unless you have some impressive credentials (BA/BS from an impressive school or masters degree or TOFL certificate or previous experience). Additionally, you won't probably have time to be studying full time in a degree program and teach full time.
The average university teaching gig in China probably pays about 6,000RMB a month, provides an apartment, and pays for your airfare if you stay there a year. You could get up to 8,000 or maybe 10,000 if you work a lot of hours or are very qualified.
At a language school you can clearly make 8,000 or 10,000, or probably even 15,000 if you worked enough hours, but they are going to expect that you can really relate well to students because your value depends on how many classes/tutorials they can see. You also are going to be doing a lot of work and they will expect a lot more from you than the university gigs.
If I were you I'd go to a city like Tsing Tao, someplace not-Beijing (more expensive polluted hectic), where Mandarin is spoken in a fairly standard form (not Guangdong Province) and get acclimated with a university job. Your students would be thrilled to teach you in their free time in exchange for English lessons, and you can get a start that way. After a year you will learn quite a bit and be able to gauge your progress. If you find that you want to seriously enroll in a full time program of study then you can scour the job boards in Beijing. You could find a family that would pay for your study in exchange for living with them and giving all of your free time hours to teaching their child English. I would not suggest doing that until you get acclimated with China and Chinese culture though, it would be a real test of character even once you're acclimated.

any tutoring or teaching job for a chinese speaking person?We Answered:
You know if you speak English too you can easily get a position as a ELL/ESL position. They prefer spanish, but the mere fact that you speak another language puts you way ahead of the pack. Some districts are so desperate they may offer a transitional or emergency license while you get yours.Sonia Said:

who can offer me a job to teach Chinese in other countries?not China??We Answered:
Start looking into universities and colleges in the countries where you'd be willing to live, and see if they have Chinese language programs. If your looking to teach high school, then your best bet (at least in the US) would be to look at high schools in bigger cities like New York, LA or Chicago.
