Prisca my love thank you so so much for watching🥹 The tax part is really cool trust me. I love it so much too. That time I couldn’t find the clip I wanted of the driver, I don’t know where it disappeared to. Thank you so much for the love😘
When do you have a proper holiday (long enough) to go back home? I'm also conteplating coming that side but I have to come back at least twice a year for my daughter
Winter vacation which is between January and February is about three months and you could take up to two months during summer vacation which is in July and August

Hello. Ive been in Japan for 10 years teaching English . Im 32 years old. Im from the USA. I have a four year degree from an accredited USA university. My goal is is to move to Taipei in March 2024 . And start looking for jobs after i get there. I hope that i can land a job offer within a month or so of being in Taipei. Does this sound like a good plan?
Big congratulations! I’m so happy for you🥳🥳🥳🥳 The price differs from month to month based on the consumption. But both water and electricity bills are always low. You won’t feel it.
Thann you so much very informative. Would you advice someone to leave their full time teaching job in South Africa and come that side. I want to move so bad but I'm scared plus I have a toddler. Not sure if I should leave him behind or take him either
Hi, I unfortunately can’t give you advice on that as it is something you must decide for yourself. Look at your reasons for wanting to leave and compare them with your current job. Once you know why then it should be easier. Check the salary prospect of things and compare them with your current. And, you can follow Lesedi Nkonyane here on TH-cam, she lives with both her husband and 2 kids. You can see from her channel how living abroad with kids is like. All the best 🤍
Thanks for the informative video, do you need to have a degree specifically for teaching to teach in Taiwan or can people with degrees either than teaching apply as well?
Hey Masego; you can teach in Taiwan without a teaching degree. Most people without a teaching degree apply through Phoenix Group Asia. You can explore other agencies as well
Depends on what you want. But life in Taiwan is generally easy, even if you choose small cities, you can still be fine. If you want a fast going life then cities like Taipei and Taichung would be good for you
Hi. Good info. I have been teaching English for 7 years in Asia. Does any employer pay weekly or biweekly? Is that possible to find Employer like that? Another question. If proper quitting notice given, will Employer screw you on the last month salary? Very common thing in China and Vietnam
Hey. I haven’t come across someone getting paid biweekly. It’s usually a month to month basis. And that would depend on your employer really. I’ve never left before a contract ended, so I’m not sure.
Hey @ mzitheni I like listening to your content but I usually get lost when you mix languages.... Could you maybe stick to English for informative videos like these so ots easier to grasp the content....
Hey Jane. Unfortunately the only African country that is recognized to be a native speaking country by the government in Taiwan is South Africa. If you do have the right qualifications, I suggest you join Facebook groups for teachers in Taiwan where they share posts for international schools and cram schools, you might stand a better chance there given that you have the correct documentation to come into the country. I know a few people who are from West Africa and they are working in cram schools.
If you’re struggling to add the address, go to your nearest 7/11 and ask them to put down theirs. Alternatively you can also copy it from the internet and put it down yourself. For products, you can type in English on the search bar and if the items are available they’ll appear there
In Taiwan you can save money. That is why it is full of South Africans for at least 25 years now. You will earn and save and make more than you would in SA. Fact. Still liked your vibe, your a nice guy
How many intakes does the scam and international schools have? I need to apply my documents are ready and my introduction video. Can you help me secure a job if possible 😢
Hey. For Taiwan the intake is throughout the whole year. You can check the first video I uploaded for agencies you can use. Alternatively you can also check @Thembelihle Bhengu’s channel, she has a video on the different agencies you can apply on
They give you a rent allowance which is capped at a certain amount. So if you find an apartment that you like and it’s more than the allowance, you’ll top up that amount yourself.
You must be very new 😂. You have a lot of the finer points to learn still. Btw 20 years ago would have been very different for you.. you are lucky us old timer expats took the brunt for you and a lot has changed since then..
I'd like to know if one can teach more than one subject, perhaps your qualification covers art because I see some schools offer art as a subject cam you teach both english and another subject
Love this video 😂😂😂😂 CAN I TELL YOU WHAT MY BIGGGGEST SHOCK WAS those skwaat toilets 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 KODWA BABA I REALLY WISH I KNEW🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣 the holiday thing is also killing me💔💔💔💔🥺🥺🥺🥺

Which region is the best to choose when doing your application ?
Depends on what you want. But life in Taiwan is generally easy, even if you choose small cities, you can still be fine. If you want a fast going life then cities like Taipei and Taichung would be good for you
Yhima mntase, did Teach Taiwan not offer you accommodation or you prepared allowance?
So what they’d do is help you find accommodation that’s closer to your school. And then they’ll give you 5000 NTD every month for rental allowance
were you not asked to make a curriculum, lesson plan and portfolio?

Thank you for your video, i really wanna come.

They never tell teachers the realities of the job because they know that teachers would not take the job.
I just discovered your channel. Lovely video ❤

I have a diploma + TEFL + PGCE
Thank you for staying😁
Have you tried applying at international schools? I think you’d qualify
@@mzitheni_ no I haven't, i don't know any but I'll look them up.
I must add: I work as an educator in SA (2years+ experience) and I have SACE

@@mzitheni_what does a cram school mean
@@megad203 schools that operate after the normal school hours. They mainly focus on teaching English
I struggle with Shopee, can you maybe explain ?

Doesn't your school pay for your rent?
