Do they use it? manuals? tapes? tests?

Is there a market for Instructors to teach courses and work on improving test scores? I really liked teaching TOEIC and test strategy in Korea although most of it was over the 'advanced' students heads -

There is very little TOEIC here, things are mainly geared toward the kids so you get some TOEFL and a good bit of college entrance test prep.
The businessmen usually stay in China rather than travel overseas to work (and THAT'S another thread entirely) so you will see some adults looking for conversation classes.
As for businesses, they are starting to see the advantages of teaching their employees English but due to circumstances here the two main areas are entry level English, which is basically teaching them how to answer the phone, and management/culture training which is handled by the larger companies (IBM, DELL) either in-house or by established training companies.
You might look into starting with a university with low hours and spend your spare time looking into opportunities with established western training systems moving into China like ITAPP or SWANDERSEN.
