Teaching job for High School Spanish Teacher?
Fri, 2006-05-26 04:56 — colorado dad
I am considering an offer to move to Hong Kong to run a sales office for the next 3 years. My wife is a High School Spanish Teacher in Colorado, USA. She has her Masters in Education and 10 years experience? Any insight on whether or how she'd be able to find a teaching job in Hong Kong?
Does it have to be Spanish?
The local language schools are always advertising for English teachers, so I think she'd be able to find work there easily.
If she wants to keep doing what she's doing now, the HKIS is a local school following a US curriculum, so they'd be worth contacting - http://www.hkis.edu.hk/
There is also a Spanish Society here (can't find a website, just a postal address: GPO Box 11751, Hong Kong), that could be worth contacting to see if they have any info about private Spanish tuition.
Good luck,

The English Schools
The English Schools Foundation, which runs a number of high schools throughout H.K., might also be a good bet, as I know they do teach Spanish:
www.esf.edu.hk
Their major recruitment drive is in Jan/Feb but they also advertise from time to time in the South China Morning Post:

You might find something else from the SCMP too.
other possibilities
New Method College advertised just the other day for native English speaking teachers

Thanks for the tips, I'll
Thanks for the tips, I'll get the wife to check out the websites right away.
Spanish in Hong Kong
I run a small agency of Spanish Tutors in London. And I am thinking in making a move to Hong Kong at the beginning of next year. I am wondering if there is a market for private Spanish Tuition to expand my business there. Or any possibilities to get a job as a Spanish Teacher?
I believe the chance is not
I believe the chance is not bad. Parents are sending their kids to third language classes (after Chinese and English)and Spanish has become increasing popular over the past 2 years. I also sent my 6 year old son to Spanish classes for a couple of months in the beginning of this year and then for another 6 weeks of Spanish lessons this summer. He has learnt quite a number vocabularies but because he has been learning in a small group, he was easily distracted by other kids and couldn't pay attention at times. Private Spanish tuition should be an alternative for the less focused kids if they want to learn Spanish seriously.
