My husband is an American and he is 52 years old. He does not have any teaching certificate. I wonder if there is any possibilities for him to be a tutor? He is desperated to get a job. What he studied in the university is "Political Science". Hope to get some ideas or suggestions from you guys. Thanks!

Maybe I give some more additional information. He is recently teaching at Shen Zhen as a part time English tutor (from Friday to Sunday). But he said that it is not secured and he also wants to find a similar job in HK. In fact, he has experiences in teaching kids, teenagers and even adults. Any ideas or suggestion for him? Thanks in advance.

Try searching on these sites, that's how I got work teaching in HK.

Or he could apply for the governments Native English Teachers scheme.

I'd recommend Esl cafe as well, people on there put me in touch with these guys http://www.onlinetefl.com/. They helped me get a job in Thailand a few years back. I didnt even have a degree so I'd imagine your husband will have a significant advantage!
Good luck.

Thank you 'Cheesindave' and 'Jason D'. I will ask him to go to those web site and take a look. But I am sure that he cannot be a NET in HK since he doesn't have a certificate to teach English! :0(

TEFL certificate takes 40 hours to do online and almost promises your husband a job.

Where can you do a TEFL cert online? I've been thinking about doing that...

I did mine at onlinetefl.com I actually took the Diploma option and the course ended up being pretty good. Good me a job here, find out soon if it got me a visa.
