<p>I'm interested in spending the summer after i graduate teaching in asia ( thailand, korea, china, singapore, pretty much anywhere ) </p>
<p>does anybody know anything about this?</p>
<p>i'll have a B.S. this May, and I'd like to teach for about 2-3 months. </p>
<p>i hear they are paid pretty well? 20usd/hr?</p>
<p>ANybody know of any good, reputable programs? </p>
<p>How competitive are the programs to get into?</p>
<p>It depends on which LEVEL u wanna teach...as u'll get ur BS degree,then I suppose,u will b able to teach at school levels..(or Should I say,in lower classes...)...payment....well,it will depend on the level n the country....</p>
<p>Great Idea!! You will definitely make a lot of money should you get good opportunity in a country like China, Korea, Japan...but CC is not a place to get advice for that, I guess. My prof told me that recently one physics graduate from this college went to china for 1 yr and taught, earned a lot of money....</p>
<p>you should look at other sources for information...i don't know where...probably you are looking, i guess, but I appreciate and encourage your decision</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Well,yes,intl_transfer is right......u will get lost here in CC(even though ur will is the stongest..)...well,then,surf the sources ehich r totally reliable to u.....best of luck!!!..</p>
<p>So i am interested in teaching in Shanghai mainly, </p>
<p>i hear the going rate for english private tutors is 100rmb / hr ?</p>
<p>or 8 dollars an hour?</p>
<p>also, if you teach at a school it's 4000 rmb/ month? </p>
<p>that seems kind of low, even though living expenses are low in china, i was hoping to make 15usd/ hr nonetheless</p>
<p>I constantly hear the "lots of money" line thrown about, but after teaching in Japan, I'm not rich.</p>
<p>Just don't teach in Japan. There's no money in it there.</p>
<p>My sister is currently teaching English in Taiwan. She is a qualified school English teacher, then she did a TEFL course (one of the most widely recognised qualifications <a href="http://www.tefl.com/%5B/url%5D">http://www.tefl.com/</a> ) and taught English in France for two years before going to Taiwan. I have never met anyone who has made lots of money doing this. You get a lot compared to the local average wage. I think my sister gets about $1500 per month, which enables her to live well in Taiwan but is hardly riches. Also, in most cases this seems to be part time work. 15 hours a week or less. Often if you sign a 1 year contract they will pay for your flights, but if you go for less time you will have to pay your own travel expenses. Perhaps if you teach full time in a respected university you will get paid a lot, but as a new graduate with no experience, I highly doubt it.</p>
<p>UCLAri - I am wondering if you did the JET programme? This seems to be a popular wy to experience a year in Japan.</p>
<p>cupcake,</p>
<p>The one and only!</p>
<p>as cupcake said, you make a lot compared to what people in the local community make, but it's still not a lot by american or most western standards. There are many such programs available, and how much you are paid will depend on where you teach, the type of teaching you do, and whether or not you have a teaching degree or certificate.</p>
<p>when you teach in Japan what are your hours like? I know the pay is like 20k plus lodging.</p>
