Then I was working for one year as an au pair (took care of kids) in America. After my return in September 2005 my boyfriend and I decided to go for half a year to China/ Changsha in February. He will write his diploma their and I need a job to life their, too. But it´s hard to find a job and I hope sb. can help me. I would prefer to take care of kids again. But I´m open minded maybe I could work as an english/german teacher or maybe somebody knows somthing else. I´m looking forward to hear from you!! My email address is gmx.net\|tanja.hoderlein -

Hi Tanja,
If your Oral English is as fluent as your written English then you may be able to find a position teaching English and/or German. If you can get a visa for the duration of your stay then you may just be able to pick up private lessons or approach an agency.

Just be careful though as some of them(agencies) are a little unscrupulous especially if you are young and inexperienced.

Have a good search of the Internet and see what you can find. Do you have a University degree??? This will also be a big plus. Take copies of all relavent documents and any other experience you have.

There is probably not a lot of demand for a 'nanny' in China but there is for English speakers in kindergartens.

Sorry I can't give you any more specific help

Good luck.

I´m glad to hear from you.

I would be pleased if you could help me again.

Do you know where I could pick up privat lessons? I was checking the internet but I couldn´t find anything.
Do you think it would be risky to say I´ll leave Germany and I hope to find a job when I´m in Changsha?
For me it´s hard because I have no teaching degrees or university degrees. I never taught english. I only taught as a tutor 2 years ago for younger mates. I applied for a teaching job in Changsha but they said that I need a special degree and two years teaching experience to start a job as a teacher in china.
Do you know english speaking families in Changsha or a web site where I could find something? Maybe there is a chance for me to contact them and maybe they know something more.
you wrote about kindergardens. Do you know any specific kindergarden where they are looking for english speacking people?
It is not important for me to earn a lot money more important for me is to be busy and to have a task.

Thank you a lot!

Hi Tanja,
I'd like to help you more but I'm not in Changsha myself. There are a couple of members who are and you can trace them from the threads.

You won't find private tutoring online, it is something that you can set up once you arrive.
Maybe you can follow your boyfriend out a little later and he could find the information and some private students for you.

You don't need a degree for every teaching position but you will need to prove your fluency in English and your teaching experience should be supported with reference letters etc.

You can always come out planning for a holiday and find work after you arrive. If you don't find work then you can enjoy a short holiday and return home. Six months or less is not too long a time to be apart but it is entirely up to you if you have the resources and the courage to take the challenge.

It will be a great experience whatever happens for you. Try to contact the other members in Changsha!! for some more specific information.

All the best
