    As an Englishman with a Cambridge TEFLA certificate who has lived in ten different countries teaching English to foreigners for over thirty-five years, (some of my students were VIP status), it seems absurd that given my skills, abilities and knowhow to transform a teaching establishment from nowhere to an industry leader, I am not accepted as a viable teacher, in any school in China. I am sixty.

    Hi. Thank you for the informative video. I have one question.
    Regarding training centres, weren't these recently made illegal in China? I'm a little confused. My documents are currently in the process of being legalized and I'm now looking at the options for which types of schools to apply for however a few months ago I heard/read from several places that training centres are either illegal or becoming illegal soon. I heard that this was done to reduce the gap between wealthy and poor children. If you can please elaborate on the legality of training centres that would be great!
    Thank you for your time

    • @ESLTeacher365
      @ESLTeacher365  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yes, because of the double reduction policy a lot of the training centers have closed. There are still some open, mostly catering to adults, and you can also look for private schools that are for preschool and kindergarten which seem to have replaced some the training centers.

    Great video 😊 I'm a native Italian who has been living in the UK for 22 years and has just obtained British citizenship (meaning that I now have dual British-Italian citizenship and a British Passport that states clearly that I am a British citizen). Does this mean that, regardless of my personal history, the Chinese authorities would consider me a native English speaker? Not to brag but I do sound very much near native.

      To teach math at an international school you typically either need a teaching license in math or a master's in Education. To teach English in international schools, the same criteria applies. To teach ESL abroad (not typically in international schools), you will want to get a TEFL certificate.
