Hi everyone, I was thinking that there is a lot of info on this forum about private schools but it is really scattered throughout many different posts. By private schools I mean regular schools that are not buxibans. There is another thread under the Parenting topic about schools, but that is more …

[image] Middle_Hapa: I’ve been told/job ads say that a substitute license will suffice. Iirc, a substitute teacher license is usually ok, unless the license says you can only teach at a specific school or for a short limited period.

Would the best way to go about it to be sending my resume in person? Should I go from school to school with my CV in nice cloths (not suite and tie, just arrived need to adjust to the weather)? Depending on the school, the security guard may not let you in without an appointment. Even if you cou…

[image] BiggusDickus: I’m astounded that it’s possible to get a substitute teacher’s license with zero observed practicum. Is this really true? Yep. I don’t remember which, but in some states you don’t even need to be in the state. If you can get your fingerprints done in Taiwan and the FBI a…

You need to walk in. I’m getting a Far Flung Scot feeling here.

I tried to walk in to 3 different cram schools and was spooked.

Best time to look is a month before Chinese New Year for runners and around April for the next school year. If you find a spot now it is most likely because a teacher couldn’t hack it …

Oooo okay, I can definently wait till Chinese new year, no problem. Rather not sit around twiddling my thumbs but I’m in it for the long game. I’ll keep trying. Thanks guys
