How to become a Chinese language teacher?

The industry of teaching Chinese as a foreign language is now being seen by more and more people, and today, to get right to the point, today I'll tell you how I got into the business of becoming a teacher of Chinese as a foreign language.

I. Thinking Against the Grain and Discovering a Side Hustle

I personally had a formal job, but always wanted to make more money, heh heh. But during the epidemic, other industries and businesses are not doing well, once I was on the line with a foreign teacher on the English speaking class, suddenly thought why I can not in turn teach foreigners Chinese? Now that our country is getting stronger and stronger and has a higher and higher status in the world, there must be a lot of people who want to learn Chinese!

I am a person who acts immediately when I think of something, and I immediately checked the relevant information with Doumian. The latter employment is also conceivable!

Second, learn a lesson, continue to fight again

The deception is also quite disturbing, but I did not give up. I began to calm down and analyze my own situation and designed a practical program. Considering that I'm not a graduate of a relevant program, let alone having relevant experience in the field, getting a knockout punch is the first step I should take. I collected a lot of information and learned that the International Chinese Language Teaching Certificate (ICLTC) is the most prestigious certificate recognized by the state. I confirmed the examination date and started to prepare for the exam in advance. To be honest, I didn't even dare to think that I could pass the exam and get the certificate, plus I didn't know what to do for future employment, but I knew that my direction wasn't wrong, and I told myself to take a step forward and see what would happen! When I got my certificate, I started to submit my resume to all the major Chinese language teaching platforms, and as you all know, I successfully became a Chinese language teacher! I'm glad I didn't wait for everything to be ready before I took action, and I didn't give up just because of the setbacks I encountered.

Three, although the salary is good, think twice

Well, the above is the whole process of how I became a teacher of Chinese as a foreign language! Lastly, I would like to give a piece of advice to those who want to join the profession, you can't make a decision on the basis of love and enthusiasm alone before joining any profession. Make sure you understand the drawbacks of the industry and ask yourself if you can accept them and stick with them for a long time. This way, you can run your business in a sustainable way and make it profitable for you!
