Teaching in China

guest21456	Does anyone know a good company to go through for teaching English in China? I've found a few websites that offer TESOL courses, but a lot of people have told me they do not get you a job afterwards. Is there any companies that will get me a job?

GUEST98161	Do you have the necessary qualifications? To get a good (legal) job you need to be native English speaker, have a degree, TESOL/TEFL, 2 years teaching experience and usually be under 55 (often younger). Have you tried searching for teaching agencies or contact sites? Try this one http://www.eslcafe.com/ Beware, some agencies are not too concerned about the quality of the employer.

I came over 2 years ago, and had a hortrible first experience. my recruiter (a chinese person i found online) sent me to a terrible school with terrible pay, and didnt tell me i had to register with local police when i arrived. BAD!!!!

The best way to get a job in China is to go through a western-based company, and usually one that includes training and job placement as a service. Most companies either offer a TESOL course OR job placement, but there a re a few who offer both.

Try www.youcanteach.com.au, they are an Australian-based company that offer a TESOL course, guaranteed job placement, help with visas, flights etc and they even come pick you up at the airport in China.

They are also pretty cheap, around US$1200 which is less than most TESOL courses. My roommate went through this company and tsaid they were great, her consultant's name was tom and he helped her with visas and flights and everything. his email is youcanteach.com.au|thomas, or you can just apply via the website.

hope this helps.
