My name's Gary, 56, and a language teacher currently in Bangkok. Through this website I'd like to ask what my chances are to get a teaching position in a school in China. First I wish to mention that since I have only the Belgian nationality I'm obviously not considered a Native English speaker. As such you could say that I most likely qualify under the category "near native speaker". Possess a bachelor degree + TEFL certificate (120 hours) and have 12 years experience in the education field, mainly in Thailand. Did a short spell in Cambodia too. Aside from English I also teach German, Dutch and History. Reason for my inquiry is that I'd like a new challenge once in a while and also that the opportunities for teachers (50 plus) are becoming limited, even in a big metropolis like Bangkok. Like to hear from expats, in or not into education (preferred though) with insight view and possible advice & tips. Much appreciated in advance. Mr. Gary A.
