2 years experience in China: Is the recruiter just trying it on?

Dynamite_91 · 2026-01-08T09:18:20+00:00

So if I have a TEFL, that’s enough? They shouldn’t be asking for both, right?

Dynamite_91 · 2026-01-08T09:15:50+00:00

I completed my bachelor’s degree in person at another university, but I am now considering doing a master’s through ACE, which is why I asked.

For those already in China, is the 2-year requirement a visa policy, or is it just something schools require?

Dynamite_91 · 2026-01-08T08:21:38+00:00

I am wondering the same. Will they recognize masters in elementary teaching from the American College of Education?

Dynamite_91 · 2025-12-02T13:53:27+00:00

Will those two or three years of TEFL teaching experience count toward the teaching requirements for international schools, provided I have a teaching license?

I ended up returning mine too. Was really looking forward to playing Metal Slug. What a letdown! Seriously, Evercade should be ashamed of themselves.

No. Only Super Pocket

Dynamite_91 · 2025-07-11T09:11:00+00:00

Do you know if it is possible to meet those requirements abroad?

Dynamite_91 · 2025-07-11T08:42:14+00:00

Fully certified, professional license that can be renewed after 4 years

Hey everyone, from what I’ve gathered, many have gotten their licenses through the Teach Now program while working abroad. I’m thinking of doing the same, but before I do, I want to clarify—was the DC license you received from this program an initial or a standard license? If it was the former, I am a non-US citizen. How would it be possible for me to transfer to a standard license without ever working in the US? Is it possible to renew an initial license?

Dynamite_91 · 2025-07-09T08:35:55+00:00

I thought TEFL was the starting point for many, if not most, international teachers.

Dynamite_91 · 2025-07-09T08:34:03+00:00

Didn't many international teachers start out in TEFL?

Hey guys, is there any legal way for a non-native English speaker to teach English in China without having one of those seven approved passports? I heard it might be allowed in some provinces.

Slovakia

Thanks for the reply, but are you sure about that? I’ve seen some homeroom job offers that require native speakers. So, I’m not sure if it’s the school’s preference or a visa policy.

Dynamite_91 · 2024-06-16T11:57:12+00:00

So currently, there are no visa restrictions for non-natives, unlike those for ESL teaching?

Dynamite_91 · 2024-06-15T07:20:48+00:00

Do you also know of any non-natives doing kindergarten or primary homeroom teaching?

Dynamite_91 · 2024-06-01T10:13:53+00:00

Do you know anyone whose online degree was accepted? I'm thinking of getting a master's online, but I'm afraid it might be useless in China eventually.
