hey i have been thinking about getting into teaching english for a while now. i spent a few weeks in vietnam and found the place very interesting. i was wondering what is invovled in making such a life change and what qualifications i may need to teach in an asian country. any info you can give me would be great.
Hi! Just want to say that it's really a nice video.I also lived in Taiwan and actually loving it here.Can I ask something? Is there any way or possibility that HESS will hire a non native english teacher?Even for a kinder garten coz i'm really looking for this kind of work.Thanks! Enjoy your stay in Taiwan.God bless!!!
They train in large groups because they have such a high turnover and they need to replace all those people.
They're not serious about teaching or learning, they will pass students who have failed and they like to give 'good' grades all the time so it looks good to parents, they damage learning.
Their main focus is profit margin and that is evident by the company's sheer size, they don't give a monkeys about the children or their learning!
Jonnypbrady, I haven't visited Taiwan, but from the videos about Hess, ** you ** sound like you're exaggerating.
I can see the lessons are well tailored for the ages in each class. They even have an environmental focus, which is progressive. Hess is a business, so they have to consider making a profit. And not everyone who goes to Taiwan, wants to teach English year after year.
It looks like a reasonable and balanced introduction to life teaching English in Taiwan to me, Jonny.
I'm in Minneapolis. I have 5 degrees, including a bachelor's in computer science and a master's in education. I apply for jobs, but I don't even get interviews. There are around 300 applications for every teaching job, 500 for an administrative assistant job.
Your abbreviated, can't even spell public relations, full of yourself, ignorant and arrogant attitude never helped anyone.
does anyone know if a westerner can work in taiwan in another job other than teaching? would it be possible to work in constuction? any info would be great , thanks

Hey Gary, I hope you will look out for failures from the west. The fact is most foreigners teaching english in Taiwan are people who actually failed their dreams from the west. I hope Taiwanese will not be fooled by these people just because they are native english seakers. Most of them cant even differentiate between simple and compound sentences. I am a native english speaker myself. Cheers all.. by the way Gary, thanks for posting.
I agree! I think they should make it a little more difficult to become an English teacher so people that can actually speak proper English can go on to teach proper English to others!!!
Why so many Canadians? Do they hire Americans as well? Is this a Canadian company? Let me know please.
