Teaching In Asia and wondering where to go?

So you are thinking about teaching in Asia. Teaching in Asia can be a rewarding way to experience a new culture and land, learn another language as well as providing a base for further travel throughout the region.

A great many people come to Japan, China, Korea or Taiwan to teach usually after graduating university or college and most take home positive memories of their time in Asia. A few of course have problems – moving to a new continent, country and culture can be a difficult experience without the right expectations and some careful research. I have taught in Japan for over 6 years and in China for 8 months and hopefully this page will help you choose where and what to teach so that your time in Asia will be happy and successful.
