Q: With Ph.D. in Finance, is it possible to explore teaching opportunities in Shanghai by an Indian?

Is it possible to find a University teaching opportunity in Shanghai by an Indian with a Ph.D. degree (Finance)?

I saw an advertisement  for English teaching School that is meant for school Kids. The ad was boasting that "We can make your child speak like an American".

No mention about correct Grammar, writing skills ....

In this type scenario, what good is your PhD if your accent is Indian ??

If you really want to teach finance based on your PhD, China is not the place for you.

"by an Indian"? You mean as an Indian?

 

Most teachers on this website are EFL teachers. You'd be better contacting the universities directly. The problem is that most courses are taught in Chinese so immediately you are at a disadvantage. With a PHD you should be able to get a work permit iuf you've also got some prior teaching experience.

I'd say 'no', by my experience from looking for the new English teaching position. I don't fancy big cities in China, and I usually skip job vacancies in Shanghai, but most or all T-1 cities in China require 'Native English teacher' for English teaching position.

 

Overall in whole China, English teaching vacancies can be fulfilled by Non-native English teacher, if she/he holds degree completed in Native English country ( UK, Ozz, New Zealand, USA, Canada, S. Africa, too).

 

I'd say, Government won't issue Working permit for Non-Native English teacher in all T-1 cities doesn't matter of 'degree' (completed in Non-native English country - India).

I usually get/got WP in smaller cities.

Again your Wmglish reading comprehension is piss poor!

 

the guy has a PHD in finance and asked about university teaching. Nowhere in his post did he mention teaching English.

Ohh, really?

I am not sure, what ... I must be talking about 'teaching fin. subjects in English'  . Honestly, I don't remember ...

P.S.ttt

Did you know, posters who can use several languages, don't make a 'pause', 'cause they made mistake in one of them?

It must be different, when you can manage only language you learned while licking an ice-cream. You must be more 'mistakes' driven.. I said that once already. I hate repeating ...LOL

Specificity is in order for a more accurate response. What job are you looking for? Languages spoken? Previous job experience, etc.

Depends on your passport and the officer infront of you, they make the last call, you have a 50%/50% chance.

I would venture to guess that you could find a teaching position. You didn't say anything about a subject. But with a PhD in Finance, it should be easy to teach business or economics. I would think you might run into some obstacles, unless you are a North American Indian.

why the heck would you look for a teaching position with a phd in finance?

teaching is paid crappy while the finance sector pays shit loads of money in the right position.
Unless you are really interested in teaching; but then again I would avoid china, because most students dont give a crap either

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
