Answer 1

You cannot teach Chinese in a public school without a degree in education and chinese. Speaking Chinese does not make you qualified to teach it. I speak Spanish, but in order to teach it I had to get a degree in it.

If you really want to live here and get the experience you could try a language learning center like Berlitz. They usually hire native speakers to teach the language and the people who sign up for the courses are very interested in learning the language. They also do some after school classes for elementary students.
