Requirements
Prior teaching experience is not necessary, but any sort of experience providing instruction or caring for children can be helpful. To meet Taiwanese government requirements, candidates must hold a passport from a country where English is an official language, a bachelor’s degree or higher (or an associate’s degree and TEFL certificate) from an accredited college or university, and pass a criminal background check. Our most successful candidates are team players who enjoy working with kids and are able to balance establishing routine in the classroom and enjoying the adventure of living abroad.
