My name is Paula Schiff . To teach you need a 4 year degree in any discipline. Teaching experience is a plus but not essential. All new arrivals go through a very good teacher training program. The cost of living in Taiwan is affordable.
Many teachers save money to repay student loans.
Another advantage is the opportunity to travel at bargain rates throughout Asia. Food is cheap and outstanding. A big plus is the opportunity to learn Chinese, a language of growing importance in the world arena.
