Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone knows if it is true that to teach English in Hong Kong you must have a TESOL course AND a bachelors degree (of any sort)?
Thanks

I know some teachers who do not have any sort of professional qualifications other than being native speakers but make a great living from teaching english at all levels.
Having said that, they have been in HK for 10+ yrs. I think now most people do expect some sort of teaching qualification especially if you want to be employed by a school rather than be self-employed.
Hpe that helps somewhat.

To get the working visa you probably need the degree / teaching qualification.

From personal experience, even if you're working freelance and giving private tuition, you really need a qualification of some kind. Otherwise the only parents who are likely to entrust their children's English education to you are the ones who don't want to pay much money, in which case it's not worth your while teaching them.
