Q: Mid-Twenties, what age group is best to teach ESL to?
First off greetings to China warriors out here on the eastern front. I just finished up a study abroad program and nonetheless I've done a fair share of part time work, but I'm looking to go the real deal for a year and do the whole contract thing instead of heading back to the US of A right now. Sorta sick of seeing Obama's face on the TV everyday if ya' know what I mean. Anyway what is the deal with being a younger aged teacher here? The only tutoring work I've gotten was with immature 15 year olds, but every time I try to move up to my age and higher the results get mixed. Am I stuck teaching younger kids forever? Is this some kind of Feng Shui or Confucianist idea? Is it my height? If so I need to pull a page from Sun Tzu and get myself out of this teenage jungle house, just wondering if I could get some kind of cultural insight here.

If you want to go legit, first you need a degree, 2 years of teaching experience (after graduation), and some formal ESL certification ( TEFL, TESOL, CELTA).
You MIGHT be able to get hired without one of the 3 requirements, but don't expect it to be in a 1st/2nd tier city.
It is important to note that you CANNOT TRANSFER FROM AN X(student) VISA TO A Z(working) VISA IN MAINLAND CHINA.
If this question had been just a little bit more stupid, you'd have been nominated by the republican party as a vice presidential candidate.
