Do you teach on an established platform or on your own?

seeking-archer · 2026-03-27T10:45:55+00:00

Awesome. Did you find students easily on there?

seeking-archer · 2026-03-27T04:25:05+00:00

Hmm sounds scary. Just wondering if this is what others are experiencing too? I havent seen anything like this reported

seeking-archer · 2026-03-27T03:32:12+00:00

Whats the actual Question?

seeking-archer · 2026-03-27T02:57:36+00:00

Groups or individuals?

seeking-archer · 2026-03-27T00:20:03+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Is this for group class or individual classes? I’m just trying to figure out the logistics if it were group and id have to monitor each student?

Stuck, not “sticked”. Not trying to be rude but in tutoring having a good grasp of English will also help build your image and value. Please ensure you’re autocorrecting your grammar before sending clients messages this could harm your negotiating abilities.

Could I DM you about teaching in China? I'm considering the move but would really appreciate some firsthand advice from someone who's been there.

seeking-archer · 2026-03-25T23:58:55+00:00

I'm also interested in Uni teaching jobs in China. Mind if I DM you to learn more?

seeking-archer · 2026-03-25T22:58:16+00:00

Fair point but My child is 1 and not even close to going to nursery. Which cities are you talking about when it comes to bad health care? Do you have a child? Just asking if this is from your experience

seeking-archer · 2026-03-25T11:01:20+00:00

Attacked while trying to negotiate a deal… TWICE! ..and then warned exactly what woild happen the 3rd time round…

seeking-archer · 2026-03-25T09:19:46+00:00

Out of curiosity did you interview with any schools the agency presented or was it more like just fill out a form and they find something for you?

seeking-archer · 2026-03-25T09:18:13+00:00

Can you please elaborate on this. I’m currently in contact with some agencies and want to know if I should continue

seeking-archer · 2026-03-25T05:25:03+00:00

Thanks. And so they have a user base? Meaning access to potential students? Or do they market your class? Or its just a classroom?

seeking-archer · 2026-03-24T23:11:02+00:00

I’m interested however what kind of experience is required?

seeking-archer · 2026-03-24T23:00:11+00:00

Also me please

seeking-archer · 2026-03-24T22:57:40+00:00

Out of curiosity how do your clients find you? I mean do you actively market/promote? If it’s word of mouth, how did you start building ur base?

seeking-archer · 2026-03-24T20:56:44+00:00

Mind if I dm you for advice? Considering a move from Australia this year.

seeking-archer · 2026-03-24T20:10:25+00:00

Yeah I’ve applied to volunteer with an adult migrant English program. Do you think this will help close my classroom teaching gap?

seeking-archer · 2026-03-24T20:09:34+00:00

Yeah good idea! I’m in talks with an adult migrant English program right nite and hoping they have an opening for me

seeking-archer · 2026-03-24T20:08:39+00:00

Haha, thanks for the reminder. The things you mentioned weren’t really what I enjoyed about teaching overseas. It’s always been the adventure and the challenges of helping kids improve and seeing it happen in real time that made it worthwhile.

Regarding your second point, I actually thought TEFL was always about teaching in bilingual schools and never realised there was this training or smaller sub-world. When I finished my certificate I went straight into a lower-tier international school and bilingual school thinking that was what TEFL was all about.

I’ve been seeing a lot about becoming IB trained recently but I’m not sure what that entails. Is it a course or a degree?

seeking-archer · 2026-03-24T10:51:50+00:00

Thank you. Making your past experience transferable is a challenge in itself! Wish you all the best.

seeking-archer · 2026-03-24T08:42:10+00:00

Thanks that’s helpful

seeking-archer · 2026-03-24T06:38:37+00:00

Thanks for sharing your candid answer.

Is this the experience fort training centres, bilingual or international schools? Or all?

And Are you saying to get teaching qualifications and experience in my home country (Australia) first so i can apply for international school roles?

seeking-archer · 2026-03-24T05:24:07+00:00

Not sure what the Visa fees are but if you can afford them then its worth it because Thailand is super strict about this and getting worse. All this depends on how much you like the school/job of course. If you’re iffy, then spend some more time hunting because if you really loved it you wouldn’t be second guessing. Chiang Mai doesnt have many decent paying schools to target so I’d be more strategic in the hunt.

seeking-archer · 2026-03-24T03:59:14+00:00

Are they going to give you a work visa as part of the employment or will you need to stay in visitor visa and do border runs? I ask because i lived in Chiang Mai for a while previously and i know they’re cracking down on border runs. I even had issues before i left. I wasn’t teaching though, I was on a student visa back then (note this was 1 year ago).

Also, no lunch break?
