I am a non-native Speaker. I am Singapore Chinese.
Got my education(Masters in Science) in the States and am working and living in Canada now. Been living in North America over 20 years.
I am thinking about taking TEFL certificate course and wondering what are my chances of getting placed as a TEFL teacher? I am interested to teach in S Korea, China, Taiwan.
Any one in my predicament?
Thanks
new to this and need advice

Generally, you must be a native speaker in theory to teach in S. Korea. But, immigration will (or has been) grant(ing) E-2 visas to non-native speakers with both of the following two criteria:
1) The teacher has a passport from one of the following 7 countries: Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, The U.K., The U.S.A.
2) The teacher has a degree from one of the above countries.

I'm not sure about China or Taiwan, but I've heard that you can teach in Taiwan without a degree...
Good luck with your future plans!

So, if you send your degree from the U.S. and if you have a Canadian passport, you can obtain an E-2 visa to teach in S. Korea.Got my education(Masters in Science) in the States
