I'm not sure which Visa to apply for.

My situation, My husband will still be working for his Canadian Company via internet. I am seeking to teach English, Many have advised that teaching privately is very rewarding, but kind of nervous about starting. I would like to work for a school, part time though. We only want to be in China for 1 year. all the information is so confusing to me.
Where would I go for advice, and which type would you recomment? Temporary resident? work? Register at a school to improve my chinese and come as a student.
