Currently I'm a 3rd year student in Ukraine, teaching English in my free time. I've heard that there are lot's of programs where you can stay in China for a year or so and I would really appreciate if you will share with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyJonesLocker Posted November 21, 2018 at 05:26 AM Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 at 05:26 AM Are you a native English speaker? If not as far as I am aware legitimate English Teaching jobs are only available for native English speakers. It's a visa rule (for Z visa). You can teach other subjects though but they might be harder to secure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vellocet Posted November 21, 2018 at 07:54 AM Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 at 07:54 AM Ukranians just work on business visas or student visas. There are several in my town doing this. They tell everyone they're Canadian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few who teach English on the pretense of teaching Business but it's a hard sell if its too school kids. I teach on Z visa but not English and no TEFL, 10 minutes ago, mungouk said: As well as having 2 years experience after graduation. Does a TEFL cert exclude you from that? I have forgotten.

Possibly... finally tracked down a source for that: Quote Teachers of foreign languages. Teachers of foreign languages generally shall be engaged in the teaching of their native languages and shall have a bachelor’s degree or higher degree and language teaching experience of at least two years. Those who have had degrees in the field of education, language or teaching, or have acquired a qualification certificate of teaching at their own countries or a recognized international certificate of language teaching shall be exempted from the restriction on work experience.
