Thread: 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 !!

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).

They prefer native teachers. But if you aimed low no problem.

i care about the most is to live in the country i like for a while before i move to Hong Kong,and gain some experiences in teaching the same time. i was thinking about working as volunteer in mandarin teaching,but of course it would be nice i could make a living while my staying. :-) i just have no idea how to start working there.

Hello,

Any idea where Chinese people can look for a good job in Thailand ?

Thanks.
