Hong Kong was under the English supremacy for 100 years. Now it is under the Chinese government. However it always has been the business centre with lots of business going around.  Almost all the parents in Hong Kong want their children to be bilingual which is good for their future. Even the parents want to learn English because it is good for their business.

When one of my friends moved to Hong Kong he was told that he should return back since he will never get any job. But when he reached Hong Kong he found out the story with other tale. He realized that the teaching jobs were available in plenty. It was not really just with English. He watched a swimming Olympic champion to become the swimming coach of Hong Kong. He watched lots of different subject teachers earning a good sum of money. However he was really on moon when he realized that the maximum demand was for English language.

A bi linguistic personality in Hong Kong has really very good chances to get very good jobs. Hence they want to learn English. Moreover the official language of Hong Kong is English. Hence every body really should know the English language. However it is not the mother tongue of Hong Kong. However in US it is not only the mother tongue, it is also the official language. Hence English teachers do not have any scope. However in Hong Kong they are needed in plenty. You can really earn your livelihood by teaching English.

As a part timer English teacher can earn around $30 to $40 per hour. However, a regular job can earn you around $2000 to $4000 which is really very good amount. You will really enjoy being an English teacher in Hong Kong.

If you are from US and you are an English teacher then I really tell you that you should try your luck in cities like Hong Kong. They are really a great destination for teachers like you. You can easily find the accommodation and you will really live a luxurious life.

So many times it do happen that you are hired by companies like Microsoft and Accenture hire a people like you to teach their employees in Hong Kong. This will really be a blessing in disguise for you. It will really be a nice experience for you and you will enjoy living in Hong Kong and teaching their employees.

I must tell you that you should really be proud that you are an English teacher and cities like Hong Kong all around the world provides you with a real opportunity to earn a large sum of money.
