China Link ESL's 5 Things To Know Before Becoming an ESL Teacher in China

LONDON - Nov. 20, 2018 - PRLog -- China Link ESL formed by Brian and Anita Acton has over eight years of experience in the ESL industry bringing teachers from all over the world to live their dream teaching English in China to Chinese students. Their recruitment is particularly strong in England and the United States but spreads out to other continents as well including Africa.

With China having so many locations, schools, culture, and travel opportunities, China Link ESL has offered these five points to consider before taking steps to teaching abroad as an ESL teacher.

1. Know if the job you desire requires a degree or not. Many teachers are recent graduates or have a longstanding degree and TEFL qualified, however there are some non-degree holders who are in need of TEFL certification.

2. Determine the level of commitment you are aiming for. Full-time teaching positions require a minimum of a bachelors degree, TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification, two years minimum work experience, a native English speaker and usually between ages 24-44. Guidelines may vary according the city. There may also be teaching internships available to you.

3. Understand how job types related to salary for ESL teaching in China. A public school teacher can make between 10,000 - 13,000RMB monthly, international schools 17,000 - 20,000RM monthly while private tutors can earn 200-350RMB on an hourly basis. A higher salary can be earned at the higher educational institutions however these positions will require more stringent qualifications and guidelines. Private tutors can earn well once established.

4. Location. Location. Location. Some of the most popular provinces and municipalities to teach English abroad in China are Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Xi'an, and Shenzhen. Life is different in each of these places from the scenery to the food. Research each location thoroughly.

5. Set goals and expectations. Develop an engaging teaching style. Create a roadmap of goals and expectations to set and conquer once you begin on your journey. This makes the journey much more exciting as you monitor your progress. Chinese students are very eager and interested in learning so you will find your own ways to engage them with different levels of English and enthusiasm however you must bring your own creativity to the table for the few that need a higher level of interaction.
