Try teaching online or try a language exchange with new methods and lesson plans until you find and feel what works for you.

Do you just want the experience or do you want to make money while gaining the experience.  If you just want experience, go to a university and find out when the English corner is in session.  You will get a feel for the speed which you need to talk and what topics Chinese youths like.  

 

If you are talking about making money and postings for a resume, the only options are to volunteer or find a job.

 

The former option gives you the chance to make friends and the option to practice your Chinese also.

There tons of jobs out there that offer Z visas and require no experience.  You might have to lower you salary expectations and live outside of the city.  It is a small price to pay for the experience.

If you will be spending 2 years in China studying, you will get experience. Go meet people.

 

Join an English corner.  Build your guanxi. You are not allowed to work on a student visa, so do your studies, use your two years to do volunteer work, and by the time you graduate you have 2 years experience

 

But hey, you are here already, you talk to other students.... you know the answer already.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
