Hi there.
I'm a 41 year old Australian lady wanting to move to Taiwan with my son who is five.
I have a degree in nursing and have previously taught English in Japan, 15 years ago.

Does anyone know of any English language schools that would hire me and help me with my accommodation, and sponsor my son also?

Any tips on where to start would be appreciated,

Thanking you,

Lyn

Some schools might help you find housing, but it's pretty rare to find one in Taiwan that provides accommodation. I never heard about help getting your son a visa. A lot of schools will lean towards younger teachers. That will be more simple for them. Here is some helpful info, links about visas and more on teaching English in Taiwan.
