Have ever taught English to adults before? You should try it sometime. Seriously. If you have been teaching in primary schools in China for the last 12 months and you are ready to ‘have a break,’ get a job at a training center and work with adults. I have nothing against kids. Working with them can be fun and unpredictable. But working with adults is far less stressful. Plus, they pay attention because they want to be in your class. And even if they are bored to tears (which hopefully they’re not if you’re a good teacher) they will act like they are into what you are doing. Small class sizes are an added bonus. I can honestly say that teaching adults for 25 hours a week is far less strenuous than teaching children for 16 hours!

Hey, Robert how are you? I just read your short little article about teaching english to adults and I thought that it is very practical and makes lots of sense. Robert, I have never taught english to adults before but I feel that I relate better to adults between the ages of 20 to 30 years old. Robert, I am wanting to go to China and teach english to a lot of people there. I feel that I would do the best job with adults. Robert, I have been searching the internet like a madman trying to find a good reputable school or training center where I can work with adults. Robert, I was wondering if you know of any schools or training centers in China were I should apply to teach. Any leads that could give me would be a tremendous help.
Thanks
