Career change and qualifications for native english speaking teacher

Can anyone provide any advice for teaching English in HK? What is the pay like and more importantly, what qualifications are needed (I have researched a little and see that there are whole host of qualifications one can take - e.g. the ICAL TEFL cert, CELTA, TRINITY - confused as to what is what and whatis good/necessary). I am considering a serious career change for family reasons. I am Chinese and am a native speaker of both English and Cantonese l. Am a masters degree holder. No teaching experience, (but many years of solid non teaching experience and a solid, very reputable career).


Any other careeer change ideas (utilizing my English skills) welcome. Any idea how to get a part time job doing the English sub titles for Chinese movies/programmes - I find that the tranlation of the Cantonese to English sub titles extreamely poor.

hi~ You can check the "Hong Kong Jobs" in the left column of this website, there are some positions relating to native English speakers, and i see they just said the applicants should be the native English speaker, i suggest you can have a look.

I am a Chinese too, but I am not a native English speaker. I am finding some ways to work with the native English speakers, so that I can practice my English, and can have some culture exchange. that's why i'm here~
