 Posted: Wed Sep 17, 2014 1:22 pm Post subject: Single parent teacher looking for work in Taiwan |
 |
|
Hi
I'm looking into moving to Taiwan.
I have a four yr degree, CELTA, experience in EFL/teaching English 1st language courses and doing curriculum catch up in middle school in an international school-will that be enough to get me a decent paying day job?
Plus-I'm a single parent and my son will need to go to primary school. Does anyone have any direct experience, as a parent, of the educational system? Basically:is it rote learning and exam-orientated?
Thanks in advance for any input/pointers |

| Not advice but a question. What made you choose Taiwan after living in Turkey for so long? I'm a single mom as well. |

| I'm in Seoul. Her father is in Lima. It's easier benign a single parent than with someone who doesn't help out. |

Hey naturegirl,
sorry to hear about that. I recall your posts when you were pregnant a few years ago.
I assume there was a falling out with your (ex?) husband after the baby was born, yeah? So he just refused to look after the child when you were working, is that what happened?
Any chance you two getting back together or is it final?
Is korea a single-parent friendly TEFL destination? |
