This isn’t just a dream anymore~ it’s a commitment to myself. 🛫🌎🍃

27/11/2025

A day in my life~

27/11/2025

As 𝘕𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 comes to a close, I find myself looking back at the same month in 2022~ a month that quietly, but completely, changed my life.

I didn’t know it then, but that interview would become the turning point. If I hadn’t passed, I wouldn’t be here in Taiwan today. I wouldn’t be living this chapter I once only prayed for, nor experiencing the growth, the challenges, and the small victories that now shape who I am.

November reminds me that a single moment can shift an entire path. That courage, even when paired with fear, can still open doors. And that sometimes, the blessings we prayed for arrive exactly when we’re ready~ even if we don’t feel ready at all.

So here’s to November.
To the risks taken.
To the prayers answered.
To the version of me who kept going even when she doubted herself.

And to the life I’m living now~ one that still feels like a gift.

26/11/2025

Teaching abroad always felt like a faraway dream~ something “other people” did. But one day, I finally told myself: 🛫

𝘐𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵, 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘦?

That small decision started my journey to becoming a Foreign English Teacher in Taiwan. Here’s exactly how I got hired abroad, step-by-step, including how I applied through TFETP (Taiwan Foreign English Teacher Program) while I was still in the Philippines.
If you're an aspiring FET, this guide is for you.

✨ 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟏: 𝐈 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐈𝐟 𝐈 𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝

Before applying to anything abroad, I made sure I met the basic requirements:
✔ Bachelor’s Degree
✔ Teaching License
✔ Teaching experience
✔ Valid passport
✔ Clean background record
✔ TESOL(optional but helpful)
If you already have these, you’re off to a good start.

✨ 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟐: 𝐈 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐰𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝐌𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲

I wanted to teach in a place that was close enough to home but still offered a completely new environment and experience. That’s why I chose Taiwan~ it’s only about two hours away from the Philippines, making it easier to stay connected with family while pursuing a career abroad.
Before arriving, I already liked many things about Taiwan:
• Safe and clean environment
• Organized work culture
• Respect for teachers
• Beautiful mix of city life and nature
• Strong demand for English education

✨ 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟑: 𝐈 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐓𝐅𝐄𝐓𝐏 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐈 𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬

This is the part most aspiring teachers ask me about.
Yes~ I applied through TFETP while I was still in the Philippines, and it was a direct hiring process.

The steps were straightforward:
1. I created an account on the official TFETP portal
2. Filled out all required forms
3. Uploaded my documents
4. Submitted demo videos and certificates
5. Waited for evaluation and interview schedule

It felt intimidating at first, but the platform makes it beginner-friendly. As long as your documents are complete and your demo shows clear teaching techniques, you’re good.

✨ 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟒: 𝐈 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐃𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲

This saved me so much stress later.
I prepared:
• Updated CV
• Valid passport
• Diploma + TOR
• Teaching license / certificates
• NBI clearance
• Recommendation letters
• Demo videos

Pro tip:
Start preparing BEFORE applying. The TFETP process moves fast once you're shortlisted.

✨ 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟓: 𝐈 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 & 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧

This was the most nerve-wracking part, but also the most rewarding.
During the interview, they checked:
• How I manage a classroom
• My teaching philosophy
• My confidence and communication
• How I adapt to different student levels
• My understanding of Taiwanese culture and school system

For the demo, I kept it simple:
• Visuals
• Clear gestures
• Slow pacing
• TPR (Total Physical Response)
• Beginner-friendly language

Remember: They don’t want complicated lessons. They want teachers who can teach non-English speakers effectively and kindly.

✨ 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟔: 𝐈 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐲 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐚 & 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬

After passing the evaluation, I received:
• My placement
• Offer details
• Government instructions for the next steps

Then I completed:
• Work permit papers
• Medical requirements
• Visa application
• Other necessary documents

Everything was done in the Philippines. Only when everything was approved did I book my flight.

✨ 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟕: 𝐈 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐰𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐲 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲

Landing in Taiwan as an officially hired foreign teacher felt surreal.
During my first weeks, I experienced:

• Orientation
• Meeting principals & co-teachers
• Curriculum briefings
• Classroom setup
• Observing other classes
• Adjusting to new routines
• Learning how to teach students with zero English

It wasn’t always easy, but it was absolutely worth it.

If you’re reading this, maybe you’re like me years ago~ curious, scared, unsure if you’ll ever get hired abroad.

Let me tell you this:
➡️ Your dream is achievable.
➡️ Start preparing now.
➡️ Apply confidently.
➡️ If I did it from the Philippines, you can too.

You don’t need connections.
You don’t need an agency.
You just need courage, complete documents, and a willingness to grow.

And one day, you’ll look back and say:

“𝘐’𝘮 𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘥 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘶𝘱 𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧.”

24/11/2025

You know you’re officially an OFW in Taiwan when you start noticing small signs that scream: “Yep, you’ve turned into an auntie/uncle.”

And trust me… it happens faster than you think.

⸻

1. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫

Before, you were chill about money.
Now, you check the peso-to-NTD rate five times a day.
You sigh, you groan, you mumble, “Kung mataas lang noon, sana mas marami na naipadala ko.”

Congratulations. You’re officially an economically responsible adult. AKA auntie/uncle.

⸻

2. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐇𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐓𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞

Backpack? Check. Desk? Check. Pocket? Check.
“Just in case,” you mutter, shoving tissue into every corner like some ninja preparing for a sneeze apocalypse.

Bonus points if you also carry hand sanitizer like it’s a precious jewel.

⸻

3. 𝟕-𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝

You don’t just go for snacks anymore.
ATM? Bills? Surprise cravings at 11 PM? Check, check, check.
You’ve officially formed a spiritual connection with convenience stores.
(They know your name. They greet you like family.)

⸻

4. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐒𝐚𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞…
• “Eat more, don’t waste food!”
• “Bring a jacket, it’s cold outside!”
• “Don’t forget to sleep early, okay?”

Even your students and coworkers are now your “nieces and nephews” ~ and you can’t help but lecture like you own the weather, the food, and their lives.

⸻

5. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐚𝐭 𝐉𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐥𝐝

Before, you rolled your eyes at “auntie jokes.”
Now, you laugh along, secretly agreeing while sipping your overpriced milk tea.
“Yeah, I am predictable now,” you murmur, and maybe even pat a random kid on the head.

⸻

6. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐬
• Successfully crossed the street without nearly getting hit by a scooter? Auntie points!
• Managed to cook a proper meal in a foreign kitchen? Auntie applause!
• Paid all bills on time without panic? Auntie celebration dance!

Life is small victories now, and somehow, that’s satisfying.

⸻

7. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞… 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐝

Being an auntie/uncle abroad isn’t just about habits or funny quirks.
It’s about:
• Caring deeply for your family and students
• Being responsible, thoughtful, and (occasionally) overprotective
• Loving your little routines and victories, even in a foreign land

And honestly? There’s something comforting about it.

⸻

So if you notice yourself doing weird things like checking the peso rate, overpacking tissue, or scolding kids for eating too fast… congratulations.

You’re officially an OFW auntie/uncle ~
and it’s fabulous. 😆

22/11/2025

When people talk about OFWs, they usually talk about salaries, remittances, job opportunities, or how “swerte mo, nasa abroad ka.”
What no one really prepares us for is the emotional tax ~ the quiet payments we make not with money, but with patience, distance, guilt, and sacrifices that don’t show up on any payslip.

Here are the moments I paid without even realizing I was spending anything at all:

1. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠

The moment you step into the airport, your heart goes through immigration too~ stamped with guilt.

You ache for the things you won’t be there for: birthdays, graduations, Sunday lunches. You scroll through family photos thinking, “I’m working for them, but I’m missing them.”
That guilt? That’s the first emotional tax.

2. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐬𝐨-𝐭𝐨-𝐍𝐓𝐃 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬

The exchange rate should come with a health warning.

One day it’s high, and you feel like a financially responsible adult. The next day it drops, and suddenly you’re questioning all your life decisions.

It’s funny how a number online can lift your mood or ruin your entire Sunday.

3. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐍𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐢𝐱

Homesickness hits at strange hours:
When you smell a certain food.
When you see a family laughing inside a restaurant.
Or when someone posts “Sana all kumpleto.”

You keep working, smiling, and showing up~ still paying tax you didn’t expect.

4. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐞

You become the unofficial “sponsor,” “problem-solver,” “breadwinner,” “ATM,” and “hero.”

But heroes get tired too.

There’s a different weight in knowing your success isn’t just yours~ your whole family is silently holding their breath with every decision you make.

5. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐛𝐲𝐞

Every airport drop-off is a mini heartbreak.
Every video call you end feels like a small cut.
Every “ingat ka diyan” hides a fear no one wants to say out loud.

Distance doesn’t just stretch kilometers~ it stretches the heart in ways you don’t expect.

6. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐈𝐭 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐈𝐭

Here’s the twist:
The emotional tax?
You also get emotional returns.

Like when your family says, “Proud kami sa’yo.”
Or when you buy something with your own earned money.
Or when you realize you’re stronger, independent, and capable of building a life in another country.

Those moments remind you why you paid the price in the first place.

—————
Being an OFW is not just about earning more money.
It’s about becoming more~ more patient, more resilient, more understanding, more brave than you ever thought you could be.

This emotional tax?
It hurts sometimes… but it also teaches you the value of every sacrifice you make.

And maybe that’s the part no one really talks about~ until someone finally writes about it 🥀

𝐀𝐜𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐰𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐄𝐓 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐏𝐡𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 💻👩‍💻🇹🇼

If you want schools, recruiters, or the MOE to remember you, you need phrases that show impact, cultural awareness, classroom strategy, and cross-cultural communication.

Here are upgraded interview lines that may help you stand out as an FET applicant in Taiwan:

1. Show Cultural Sensitivity & Respect

Instead of saying:

“I want to learn Taiwanese culture.”

Say:

“One of my priorities is to integrate into Taiwanese school culture so I can teach in a way that aligns with local values and student needs.”

It shows you’re not coming to impose Western teaching styles~ you’re adapting.

2. Highlight Language Barrier Strategy

Instead of:

“I can teach students with low English proficiency.”

Say:

“I use visual cues, gestures, and simplified instructions so students understand even with minimal English.”

This proves you understand the reality of teaching English in Asia~ not just theory.

3. Emphasize Collaboration With Local Teachers

In Taiwan, co-teaching with homeroom or subject teachers is common.

Instead of:

“I work well with colleagues.”

Say:

“I collaborate actively with local teachers to align classroom goals, share feedback, and support student discipline.”

Shows teamwork and respect for the existing system.

4. Classroom Management Without Sounding Strict

Instead of:

“I have good classroom management.”

Say:

“I use clear routines and consistent expectations so students know exactly what to do without constant reminders.”

Concrete. Practical. Memorable.

5. Show Why You Are Worth Hiring

Many applicants say they want to grow.
Few say how they’ll contribute.

Instead of:

“I want to improve as a teacher.”

Say:

“Taiwan offers a strong learning environment for me as an educator, and in return I bring hands-on experience with student engagement and modern ESL strategies.”

Mutual value > personal gain.

6. End the Interview With a Memorable Question

Most candidates end with:

“No questions, thank you.”

That’s a wasted opportunity.

Here are standout lines:

✔ “What are the school’s goals for English learning this year, and how can I support those goals if hired?”
✔ “How do you measure success for foreign teachers?”
✔ “What do students here struggle with the most in English?”

This makes you look like someone already thinking as part of their team.

7. A Confident Closing Statement

Instead of:

“Thank you for your time.”

Say:

“Thank you for the opportunity. I’d be honored to contribute to this school and support your students’ growth.”

Why These Phrases Work

✔ They show cultural awareness
✔ They reflect real classroom strategies
✔ They demonstrate collaboration and impact
✔ They position you as solution-oriented
✔ They sound like a colleague, not just an applicant

In a competitive hiring season~ especially if you’re competing with licensed teachers, native speakers, and those with years of experience~ words matter.

Don’t just interview to qualify.
Interview to be remembered.

Look at you~ attending a teachers’ workshop in a foreign country! ✈️🇹🇼

𝐌𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐲 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐰𝐚𝐧 ✅✈️🇹🇼

Everything I Prepared, Why It Mattered, and What I Learned Along the Way

Applying as a Foreign English Teacher (FET) in Taiwan was one of the most exciting yet overwhelming phases of my life. The requirements were specific, the waiting game was real, and every agency seemed to ask for different sets of documents. So instead of panicking, I made myself a complete checklist and that list basically became my survival guide.

If you’re applying soon, here’s my full checklist based on my actual experience. Save this, share this, or use it as your starting point.

1. Updated CV (Almost Every Agency Asks for This)

One thing I learned very early: your CV is the first thing they look at.
I made sure mine was:
✔ Teaching-focused
✔ Organized and updated
✔ Highlighted my ESL experience
✔ Included a professional photo

Agencies asked for my CV more times than I can count, so having it ready saved me time.

2. Recommendation Letter + SOP (Statement of Purpose)

Instead of a cover letter, most agencies required:

✔ Recommendation Letter

– Signed by my previous employer/colleagues/bosses
– With contact details for verification
– Clear description of my teaching performance

✔ SOP / Statement of Purpose

Some agencies wanted an SOP explaining:
– Why I want to teach in Taiwan
– My teaching philosophy
– My strengths as an educator
– What I can contribute to Taiwanese schools

Having both documents ready made my application smoother.

3. Passport (Valid for at Least 6 Months)

Nothing fancy, but crucial. I checked my expiration date multiple times because I refused to let a small detail ruin everything. 😅

4. Diploma & TOR With CAV (Certification, Authentication, Verification)

Taiwan agencies are strict.
I prepared:
✔ Diploma with CAV
✔ Transcript of Records with CAV
✔ Clear scans and photocopies

This step is non-negotiable for most schools and agencies.

5. PRC License + Certified True Copy

To strengthen my profile, I made sure I had:
✔ My Professional Teaching License
✔ A Certified True Copy (CTC) from PRC

This adds credibility and shows you're officially recognized as a licensed educator.

6. Certificate of Employment (CoE)

My CoE included:
✔ Job description
✔ Dates of employment
✔ Signature and school letterhead
✔ Contact details

Agencies DO check this, so make sure it’s legitimate and updated.

7. Teaching Demo Video (5 Minutes Only)

Most recruiters asked for a 5-minute teaching demo, not the typical long demo schools require.

I focused on:
✔ A quick warm-up
✔ Clear instructions
✔ Observable classroom management
✔ Energy and clarity
✔ Simple but well-structured activity

Short, engaging, and easy to watch.

8. NBI Clearance (Not Police Clearance)

They specifically wanted an updated NBI Clearance, apostilled and clean.

9. Medical Requirements

Different agencies ask for different medical checks, but the common ones were:
✔ X-ray
✔ Drug test
✔ Physical exam
✔ Psychological test

10. Professional Photos

I prepared several copies:
✔ Passport-sized
✔ Clean background
✔ Natural and neat look

Digital versions were useful because most agencies asked for them online.

11. PSA Documents

I double-checked all my PSA documents to avoid issues:
✔ Correct spelling
✔ Correct birth date
✔ Updated information

A small mistake here can delay the entire process.

12. Certificates & Trainings

I compiled all relevant certifications:
✔ TESOL / TEFL
✔ ESL seminars
✔ Teaching workshops
✔ Any extra training that strengthens my application

13. Organized Online Folder

I created a single Google Drive folder for everything so I didn’t have to resend files every time.

Folder name:
📁 FET — Taiwan Application Requirements

Inside, I placed:
– CV
– Recommendation Letter
– SOP
– Passport
– Diploma + TOR (CAV)
– PRC License + CTC
– NBI Clearance
– Certificates
– Teaching Demo
– Photos
– Medical documents

This was one of the smartest decisions I made.

14. Intro Video

Some agencies actually asked for this.
I prepared a short 1–2 minute video where I:
✔ Introduced myself
✔ Explained my teaching background
✔ Showed my communication style

Think of it as a friendly “first impression” video.

This checklist wasn’t created in one sitting. It grew with every agency texted me, every recruiter emailed me, and every unexpected document they suddenly asked for. But preparing everything early made my application smoother and less stressful.

If you’re on the same journey right now, remember:
Every document is a step closer to your Taiwan dream. One requirement at a time. One email at a time. You’ll get there~ just like I did. 🇹🇼✨

16/11/2025

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐮𝐭

Your teaching demo is your first classroom impression. It’s not just about showing that you can teach~ it’s about proving that you can connect, communicate, and manage a class even if students barely speak English.

1. Start With Energy — Not Introductions

Skip the long “My name is…” speech.
Open with something that captures attention:
“Guess what we’re learning today? It’s something you use every morning!” Instant engagement.

2. Use Visuals, Props, or Real Objects

Taiwanese schools love teachers who teach with real things, not just slides.
Hold up a cup, a toy, a flashcard, or act something out. The more concrete, the better the comprehension.

3. Teach Like You’re Talking to Beginners

Use:
• simple sentences
• gestures
• repetition
• modeling (show, don’t tell)
A demo is not the time to sound like a dictionary.

4. Show Clear Lesson Structure

Use the classic but effective flow:
Warm-up → Presentation → Practice → Production
This proves you know how to organize a lesson, not just talk.

5. Demonstrate Classroom Management

Yes, even in a demo.
Things like:
• “Eyes on me, 1-2-3.”
• “Show me your fingers, how many?”
• “Good job, everyone!”
These little moments prove you can handle real students, not just a camera.

6. Use a Simple Reward System to Boost Motivation

Taiwanese schools love teachers who know how to keep students motivated in a positive way. Even in a teaching demo, showing a reward system proves you understand how to manage behavior and encourage participation.
You can say something like:
“If you answer correctly, you get a star! Ten stars means a surprise!”
or “Good job! Here’s one point for your team!”
Even if there are no real students during the demo, pretend you’re giving rewards. It shows you know how to create an engaging atmosphere.

7. Give Genuine, Clear Compliments

Using positive reinforcement pushes students to participate more.
Examples you can use in your demo:
• “Wow! Great answer!”
• “Good try, I like your effort!”
• “Amazing! High five!”
• “You’re learning so fast!”
• “I’m proud of you!”

This proves you know how to make children feel confident ~ a huge plus for foreign English teachers.

8. Keep It Short but Powerful

A good demo is usually 5 minutes.
Leave them thinking, “We want this teacher.”
Not, “Why is it still going?” 😅

A teaching demo is not about perfection ~ it’s about presence, clarity, and connection.
If your energy is genuine and your lesson is simple, you’ll stand out effortlessly.
