In Response To: NNS sounds like a recruiter. - Teachers Discussion (Carl (filipino))

I'm myself a non-native speaker ( from Europe; I guess it could be a bit more difficult for Filipinos ... ), without any degree or even high school diploma ( only a TEFL ).

I taught in Thailand before, and I've been in China for almost a year now. Here, got my work permit, my 5-room apartment, 8000 rmb a month.

Just don't pay to much attention whether they ask for native speaker in their ads, send your resume and a nice motivation letter. If you're honest and dedicated to ESL teaching most of the schools would feel it and you'll see you'll get replies. ( stay away from chain schools such EF and Aston )

Good luck!
