    Hi there,

    I worked in China as a Maths teacher for 2 years and came back to Ireland last year because my (now) wife hated it. She is an English teacher and tbh they really are the bottom of the heap out there when it comes to teaching. The pay is significantly lower than the Scientific subjects and if you are not at a recognised International school, you are unlikely to get decent holidays and they will work you like a dog. A teaching qualification is not needed. I was in Beijing for a couple of years so if you are thinking of heading out there, let me know and I can tell you a little more...
