Hi! I am 23 yrs old and already have a associate’s degree (in art). I would LOVE to be an ESL teacher, as I love reading, writing, and working with immigrants.

I know that without a college degree, you will most likely teach children. And you should at least have some experience teaching children and a TEFL certificate. I just want to know if you can also receive the round-trip airfare paid for you and the free housing—just like in the other Chinese ESL jobs that require a college degree.

I have been asked by my principal to get my ESL certification because I will be teaching ESL next school year. My job as a librarian is being cut to half-time and the other half-time position available is the ESL position.
I was wondering if someone would share their experience as an ESL teacher. Just a few suggestions or ideas, please.
