Teaching assistants in Taiwan

Is it usual for a foreign teacher in a Taiwanese school to have a teaching assistant? (Particularly when that teacher isn't fluent in Chinese).

In China, I had a teaching assistant. She sat quietly at the back of the classroom mostly (asleep sometimes), but she was invaluable at the times I needed her.

I guess that it's more expensive to hire people in Taiwan, so foreign teachers don't get teaching assistants.

Don't expect an assistant in the class with you UNLESS it is a big class of 30+ students.
