Experience and Qualifications

To meet Taiwanese government requirements for legal work authorization, it is necessary to hold a passport from a country where English is an official language, a bachelor’s degree or higher from an approved institution (holders of a US associate’s degree and TEFL certificate may also qualify), and to pass a national-level criminal background check.

It is not necessary to hold a teaching certification or have teaching experience, though both can be helpful. Ideal candidates need to be interested in working with children, navigating living in a new country, empathetic, and adaptable.
