What year was that? I've heard the standards used to be non*existant, but have strengthened in recent years. I can't personally attest to any of that, though, as I've never been.

Right now, I'm planning to apply through a recruiting company who does the backend work (housing, matching me with a school, orientation). I really dont know what to expect from the school itself, as I've read both horror and happy stories. I'm hoping since I'm going thru a middleman, the school will have to meet their standards (eijguess that would be a good thing for me to ask the recruiter).

this was January before last. I think they do look at education a fair bit in most desirable places in Thailand, but I think as long as you have said credentials, it doesn't really matter how well you actually speak English. This was the impression I got though. I think you can still find jobs with a TESL and no degree, but it isn't likely to pay well or be in a part of the country that is desirable to foreigners. Out in the boonies in Isaan or something.

Hmmm.  I too have considered spreading the Engrish.

What company did you go thru, if u dont mind sharing?? I've been researching this for the past couple years and I haven't found pay that high (except in South Korea).




I actually got my job through a friend who lived in this particular city. Some of the cities in Taiwan have facebook pages where English jobs are posted.

Tealit - good for jobs in Taiwan

ESL Cafe - jobs anywhere

teacher gig - jobs anywhere

World of TEFL - jobs anywhere

The TEFL certification was really easy to get. I only did a 50 hour course, but it may be better to do the 100 hour one, especially if you don't have a bachelor's degree.

I don't think going through a recruiter is a terrible idea. I would expect the first job to be rough regardless of if you go through a recruiter or not. I had a difficult time at my first job because I was just thrown into the classroom without any training and have never had a Taiwanese co-teacher to help me! Also, most people don't stay at their first job past the first year.

The first step to this would be getting your TEFL qualification. This would qualify you to teach English online, or abroad! For more information on our course options please see the link below:
