Teaching English in China
Hey all, I love my job teaching English to kids in China! I have gotten enough questions about it that I thought I would write a quick post. So here's some info: I teach through VIPKID. I teach students one on one. The kids I teach are anywhere between the ages of 5-12 years old. What are the qualifications to teach? A Bachelor's degree (or higher) in any field. Eligibility to work in the US or Canada. At least 1 year of teaching experience (includes homeschooling, tutoring, coaching, mentoring or other life experiences) What do you like about it? The kids are great. I can teach from anywhere. I set my own schedule. The classes are 25 minutes each. Do you need any special equipment? A decent computer with a camera (or a webcam) An Ethernet cable that will reach to a modem (this is preferable). Mine is 50 feet long. Really reliable Wifi Headphones with a microphone Some basic props - a puppet, teacher name tag, flashcards, easy stuf...
