Question

Can I get a job teaching English - in China, without formal qualifications?

Answer 1

you at least would need a tefl.

Teaching English foreign language certificate.

Answer 2

Not unles you go through a program provider like CIEE or journeyeast.org.  Otherwise you are begging to be exploited by the Chinese schools.

Answer 3

If you want to work in a bona-fide school, then I am pretty sure that the basic TEFL qualification will be required.  However, there are many agencies that will possibly employ you as a tutor.  You do not state what qualifications, if any, you have.  I know someone who has no qualifications at all, but she successfully tutors in Hong Kong, and is paid very well too.  I suggest an internet search, and submit what you can offer to the numerous teaching agencies that you will no doubt find there. A few applications should inform you whether or not you would be considered.  Good luck.
