Welcome to China Service Mall!

The basic requirement of most public schools is for the applicant to have a bachelor degree, and come from a country whose native language is English. It would be better that the applicant's age is between 20-60 years old. And those who have a TEFL certification will be preferred. If the applicant doesn't have a TEFL certification he could study the TEFL courses in China, and the certification can be gained after 7 days. Also, we could help those who don't have a bachelor degree to get a TEFL certification in Beijing, Jilin and Guangdong and arrange a better job for them.
It is not necessary to worry that you know nothing about Chinese, and even that you don't know how to use chopsticks. As an English teacher most school want you to offer a complete English environment, furthermore, in schools, the staff in Foreign Affairs Offices, and Chinese English teachers can speak English (maybe including your Chinese students), who will assist your work and daily life. Actually, as long as you come from a country that speaks English or your English is good enough that you are capable of being a good English teacher, you could apply whether you have teaching experience or certifications or not. Of course, during the time you work in China, you must follow Chinese laws.
