Next? Our Supplemental Application

After you apply, you'll receive our Supplemental Application with more detailed information about yourself and your qualifications. In this supplemental application, we will need you to upload a copy of your resume, passport, a copy of your degree, and your TEFL Certification if you have it. TEFL Certification is always recommended but not required if you have a Bachelor's Degree.

Interview

You will be interviewed twice. The first interview will be with a staff person here at The GeoVisions Foundation. And the second interview will be with the actual school in Taiwan.

A final decision will be made within 2 weeks of your second interview. When you're accepted, that's when you'll begin your visa process.

Of all the locations to teach English abroad, Taiwan is the easiest regarding a visa to legally teach in Taiwan. You don't even need to go through a visa process until you arrive in Taiwan and begin teaching.

For US, UK, Canadian, Irish, New Zealand Australia citizens, you can enter Taiwan without a visa. Then your school director will assist you with the documentation necessary to apply for an ARC (Alien Residence Certificate).  For those outside of these countries, a visa is needed in advance of arriving in Taiwan.

A minimum monthly salary of $1,680 is guaranteed, even if you teach the minimum of hours. That means you are guaranteed to not make less than $1,680 US per month. Most of our teachers in Taiwan earn over $2,000 US per month. For those willing to teach extra hours, the monthly salary can increase substantially.

Assistance in finding accommodation is included, but teachers pay their own rent. Rent is generally between USD $250 and $400 per month, exclusive of electricity and water (which is generally quite affordable). In some instances Internet is provided in accommodation costs, in other instances, it must be purchased separately.

Teachers will prepare in-class activities focused on language development such as dialogues, games, pronunciation and grammar activities, songs, role-playing, and conversation groups. Each day plan lessons and presentations for your class and attend some faculty meetings.

You will receive 15 paid public holidays and another 10 paid vacation days, based on the schools’ protocol.

2020 Dates:

The second or third week of each month in February, April, May, June, July, August, September, and November.

Many of the teach abroad programs GeoVisions operates pay more than enough to take care of your student loans. Some pay enough to live comfortably, but depending on your monthly loan payment, it could be close.

GeoVisions will work with you to provide official documents from your school and GeoVisions. However, ultimately, it's going to come down to the loan provider to make the final determination.

Many participants end up putting their loans on forbearance if their salary doesn't leave them enough funds to cover their loans.

The teach abroad programs that pay the most and where teachers have consistently been able to stay current on student loans are in Taiwan, South Korea, and in some instances, China.
