    Hi! It's an Informative vlog! Looks like you're teaching under early childhood program in China, if I am not mistaken. 1. Are you teaching in public school or EFL/ ESL? 2. What's your classroom setting experience in the Philippines? 3. I'm a graduate of 4- year course but not education related. Got my TESOL/TEFL/TEYL in 2017. Been in esl industry (Chinese) for more than 5 years. Currently talking my 18 units in teaching (prof ed) but no experience in a classroom setting. Will I have the chance to land a job in China? Please shed some light. Thank you! ☺

    Mike Cruz Hi! Thanks for watching our vlogs! To answer your questions: 1. During our first three years here, we taught in a private international school where we had both kindergarten and training school classes. 2. We only had around 2-3 years of classroom experience before we left for China. 3. Both of us ARE NOT professional teachers nor do we have teaching licenses. We are actually RNs with around 4 years of teaching experience before leaving for China. I think you have a good chance of getting hired if you find the right agency/ employer! 💪💪 Go lang ng go!

    Filipino English teachers here are getting less than Native Speakers. It would take more than 2-3 years of working for the same company to get the same salary. There’s always a big difference in salary not even for Filipinos only but between Natives and Non-natives (or in some cases white vs non-white folks).

    Thank you for the question po. For us, much better na may work visa ka to really secure your stay sa China. Kapag nagstart ka na to work illegally, no chance of having vacations ka din sa pinas. You can’t even go to other provinces kasi may check din na gagawin for sure. As for the detention, it depends. We don’t have any idea kung gaanu katagal. It all depends sa discrepancy ng pinagdetain sa iyo. May iba months na. May iba, years. And then kapag narelease ka, may record ka na lalo na if you plan on going out ulit from pinas. In short, secure a working visa to avoid all these hassles.

    I work in Shanghai and I guess 8k is okay as long as you have free accommodation. For a teacher though, that salary is too little even if you are a non-native English speaker but for an entry level teacher that is okay. after your contract I suggest you look for a better paying job. you can land a job that pay's 20-28k plus housing allowance. tyagaan lang mag hanap.

    Welcome. I taught in China for 16 years and now I'm back home for good as not everyone is a LIFER in China . I strongly suggest you tackle in your vlogs the present policies being implemented. There are so many provinces in China that still do not accept NNES unless you earned your degree from an Anglo=phone countries. Some provinces deemed NNES teachers illegal. And some provinces accept NNES teachers but only for them to teach in Training Schools which are less respected than teaching in public schools. Thanks.
