1. TEALIT
TEALIT is an acronym for “Teaching English and Living in Taiwan” and the website is the first place that most people go to when looking for a teaching job in the country. The site includes several sections, including different job boards, classifieds, events, language exchanges, and other articles for foreigners living in Taiwan.

There is a diverse selection of both full-time and part-time positions available. On average, you will see about 5 posts per day on the main board.
There are also sections where people can post tutoring jobs. Lots of parents are looking for people to teach their kids one-on-one and some adults are looking for conversation classes too.
Teachers also have the option of posting on the tutoring board. You can state your personal details, such as your nationality, educational background, years of teaching experience, and location etc.

For instance, on the left-hand column (or in the search options), you can choose from language schools, regular schools, college/universities, corporate, or tutoring positions etc. You can even find work teaching students online.
