Can I get a job teaching English – in China, without formal qualifications?
If you want to work in a bona-fide school, then I am pretty sure that the basic TEFL qualification will be required. However, there are many agencies that will possibly employ you as a tutor. You do not state what qualifications, if any, you have. I know someone who has no qualifications at all, but she successfully tutors in Hong Kong, and is paid very well too. I suggest an internet search, and submit what you can offer to the numerous teaching agencies that you will no doubt find there. A few applications should inform you whether or not you would be considered. Good luck.
