Landing a Teaching Job in Taiwan

Work Teaching English in Taiwan

Hello all,

I am writing this post for some information on how to land a teaching job in Taiwan. First, I would prefer to work as a public school teacher. From what I can tell, this is only possible if I apply through a recruiting agency like Teach Taiwan and Phoenix Group? Are there others? I wouldn’t mind looking into working for a cram school as the hours are preferable, but it sounds like a roll of the dice in terms of work environment..

Location-wise I would prefer (in order of preference) Kaohsiung, Taichung, Tainan or Taipei. I’ve lived in Shanghai and Hong Kong for a while and would like to stay away from a rainy climate :slight_smile:

Teaching is a real calling for me, not just a way to travel and have almost 10 years of teaching experience. I will be preparing for a graduate degree in either Korea or Taiwan this year outside of work, so a work/life balance is high on my priority list.

Please let me know what you all think! Looking forward to some perspective and food for thought. Cheers!

Lots of Taiwan facebook groups you can join that have daily posts of schools looking for teachers. Give that a shot. :+1:

You basically know what you need to know. Most public teaching jobs I know are in NYC.

I think you also recently posted in another thread. I replied to you there. Go and read that. As long as you have the right qualifications it’ll be easy. And now is the time.
