HELP PLEASE

My name is Austin Scott, I am a 22 year old, native English speaking American. I am very interested in the possibility of teaching english as a second language to students in China. Currently I am taking TEFL courses to help my chances of obtaining a job as an english teacher overseas. My only concern is that I do not have a four year degree. I am very professional, polite, well dressed, intellegent, and I am currently tutoring three Spanish speaking children in Chicago to speak English as a second language.
I understand that eastern China specifically, is seeking Native English speaking teachers from America, so I believe that I could be an asset to this community. My question is, are there any schools in China that are flexible in hiring teachers with less than a four year degree?

Thank you in advance for any advise you can spare me, I really appreciate it.

Scott, first use your spell check if you want them to take you seriously. Second, just tell them you have a degree, they don't know and they don't care. You just need to have a diploma that you can get off the internet. Getting your TESOL certificate is more important.

I saw your advertisement of an English language teacher on "Expat.com".
I am a Cameroonian and i am holder of BA in English and French from the
University of Buea.
Presently, I am doing a part time online International Masters Degree in Conflictology.
I believe i am just the right person for this job as i have 5 years experience in teaching
English as a second language.
I am ready at all time if you consider my application.
While waiting for a favourable response,
I remain yours

etbean2001 is posting some dangerous information.

Recently, the folks in the Visa Offices are starting to request certification of Diplomas and Criminal Background Checks. This just started about 60 days ago.

Up until then, yes, you could just buy a diploma, but no anymore. If you are already here, you are fine, this is for new entrants.

So, this means you will not have a Resident Visa/Work Visa.

You can still teach in China and work but it is not completely above board. This will make you vulnerable to shady schools and Agencies. I have heard too many stories of Agencies promising "this" and "that".....and schools screwing over folks.

Being here on a Business Visa or "M" Visa is fine for the short term.....and many people do it. Just be aware of the risks.

any institution able to get you a valid work visa for teaching will also need to see a diploma. There are no more avenues to "having a friend in the Visa office fix us up".

Another option is coming in on a 10 Year Tourist visa and working "under the table" . This is possible, but inconvenient and carries risks, as if you are caught working on a tourist visa you'll be kicked out and never to return again. They don't mess around! But, I know some teaching opportunities (home schoolers, chinese kids needing english lessons, certain of the schools which cannot offer work visa, but pay under the table...)

Most schools don't ask for the 4 year degree just the Tesl certification if that!

Yes. You must look very hard. Many schools will hire you., However, they won't be able to get you a work visa. You must get a business visa or a tourist visa on your own. Working without a work visa is illegal. If I were you, I'd get my bachelor degree before going to China
