Hello. I have a BA degree and post graduate qualifications in TESL and general teaching. I am also qualified in work health and safety. I can speak basic mandarin. however i am 62 years old and looking to come to China at the end of my career rather than the beginning, which is what most people do. Can you advise me?

Considering your qualifications and experience, you have a strong foundation to pursue teaching opportunities in China or South Korea. However, your age may be a factor in the competitive job market, especially in China where many English teachers are younger and often have more energy to engage with students.
Given your qualifications and experience, South Korea might be a more suitable option for you. The country has a more relaxed age limit for teaching positions, and the job market is still relatively open to experienced professionals. Additionally, the average monthly salary in South Korea is comparable to what you can expect in China, and the cost of living is generally lower. Furthermore, the teaching programs in South Korea typically run from September to June, allowing you to plan your work schedule and make the most of your experience.
Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for your question. My suggestion is that you should directly contact the university to inquire about teaching opportunities in China. If you contact the school directly, you are likely to have more luck and more opportunities than if you were to go through an agency that recommends you.
Best,
Sarah
