Teaching Placements
Most educated citizens of Hong Kong speak English – however there still remains a need throughout the city for native speakers to help students acquire the language at a variety of levels. If you are TESOL or TEFL certified (which is highly recommended) then you will be eligible to apply for a two year contract teaching English at a public school in Hong Kong through the Native English Teacher Scheme (NET). Every year the Hong Kong Education Bureau recruits qualified candidates to fill needed positions in public elementary, middle, and high schools, creating a great opportunity for teachers to gain experience teaching English abroad.
There are also many international schools across Hong Kong because of the very diverse and globalized population of the city which offer teaching jobs. These schools typically require a college degree in the field of your specialization as well as prior teaching experience, but also pay well and often offer full time employment to foreign teachers. If you are planning to live and teach abroad in Hong Kong permanently, then applying for full employment at an international school may be your best option.
There are also a variety of small language institutions and private tutoring options available throughout Hong Kong. Due to the city’s roots as a British colony, Hong Kong’s schools tend to work off British curriculum, which makes an easy adaptation for Western teachers. Be careful though – they also teach British English, so you may want to brush up on her Majesty’s dialect if you are not familiar.

Hong Kong teachers average HK$95,025 monthly (approx. $12,100 USD), with a range of HK$56,000-$150,000 depending on experience and level.

Difficulty depends on qualifications: Native speakers with TEFL certificates find it easier, but competition is high overall.
