Teaching English in Asia

Teaching English in Asia

Europe and North America are the most popular destinations for most young New Zealand travellers. But increasingly they are heading into different territory. Graduates are recruited to teach English in Asia – an opportunity to travel and earn enough to pay off their student loans. Here, University of Otago law student Jared Lynn (left) gets information on teaching in Taiwan.

Teaching English in Asia sounds like a nice challenge for these graduates, it could be the adventure of their life, I know I would definitely be up for it if I knew I am eligible but for now I am still having sat tutoring online so the best thing I can do now is be patient and supportive with the program.
