“I’m an English teacher…. English literature”
“Oh, I teach English language”

And anyone who’s a non-English teacher equally qualifies it: “I’m a teacher”
“en”
“But I teach maths”
“Oh!”

I don’t hold (Western) teachers in high regard, but I would say that working in China is a step up compared to working in a public school.

You honestly think a “Life Coach” can get a 签证 in China? That’s rich.
