TESOL Prospects in China

Financially — fat income. The lowest part time teaching price in Shanghai  is 100/hr.  Teaching 4 evenings a week (2.5 hours per evening) will make your monthly pay 4000.  What if ten more hours on weekend? Double. What if your turn out to be a good teacher and are paid 200rmb per hour? Double again. That will be 16,000 RMB if you teach part time classes 20 hours per week. This is a real number for numerous language teachers now in Shanghai

Linguistically — to improve language. Learners of  language pedagogy not only are  instructed  on the  teaching  methodology  but also are better guided to understand the system and mechanics of language learning, which in turn greatly benefits their further development in the language.

Professionally —  to extend  your potentialities and possibilities. You don’t  know  what  you can do until you try them out.  You do not have to teach for living but you can be a good teacher.  Why not get a internationally  recognized TESOL certificate,  just in case?  This is much like  those who  learn driving long before they buy a car. Do you believe you will stand out in any job interview when you tell them you can teach English?

What’s TESOL?

TESOL is an acronym standing for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages.

Most employers require that their teachers have TESOL certificates. It is difficult to find a good job without a TESOL certificate, even with a degree. Uncertified teachers who have taught abroad in the past, become TESOL certified before going again to get a job in today's competitive job market.
Teachers who have International TESOL certification will be eligible for many more employment opportunities and considerably higher wages than those who do not have formal training. Become International TESOL certified & stand out from the rest!
