Teaching In Thailand Being a international school teacher in Thailand can be a great career with salaries in the range of $2,500 to $6,000 per month, or you could become a TEFLer teaching English with a salary range of 350-600 pounds per month, although with many teaching jobs it could be worth doing a TEFL course even if no experience is necessary, but will teaching students fulfil your overseas jobs yearnings? Is a English language teaching job something you really want to do? Can you teach English?

Smile Seeking a job in Thailand( Chinese teacher)

Hey, I'm Stephanie. I will graduate from college next June. My major is English and Finance. Since I love travel so much, i want to start my world trip after i graduate. But, money is a big issue.
So, i want to know if there's any chance to find a Chinese teacher or part- time tutor job in Thailand(any city is ok). I have a two month English tutor experience and language exchange experience with American and German for 1.5 years, and a BA in English and Finance. But i have no certificate of teaching. Do they need any certificate? Is that easy to find ? Is the salary good enough to make a living? I know Chinese is quite popular now.
Any suggestions?
Thank you !!

Sure

Sadly as a Chinese (mandarin) teacher you will be required to have a degree in Education. That said as you seem to be a English native speaker you will easily get a job as an English teacher (paid more) who is teaching Mandarin.
I teach English in Thailand we have a chinese language department.
there are a lot of Chinese in Thailand who have come to work, they work hard, they have teaching degrees... their english (generally is so so), they get paid a LOT less.

(my experience is that of public schools in Thailand private language schools may offer a very different view).
