Re: teaching english in a foreign country
Good starting place is contacting universities here that have oversea programs and need teachers - or contacting schools directly over there, do u know any other languages besides english? They would put emphasis on that b/c its needed to cross communicate, if not u could teach upper lvl english classes where they have enough of a base to understand u

Re: teaching english in a foreign country
Then this should be ur target country b/c u know both languages - it will allow u to find a position easier! Its much easier to find a job teaching language over there vs here b/c they start teaching other languages avidly at younger ages, so u could work with lil kids all the way to university students - also u could privately tutor (would be harder to do that from scratch though hehe maybe on the side after ur established) along with that u could maybe teach what was ur major?? physics?? so maybe get a position through a univeristy teaching english and one of ur undergrad focuses
meet a hot italian girl or two or ten |

Re: teaching english in a foreign country
i just had a new thought. maybe i can just move there and find some menial job. it's not like i have a passion for teaching english. i could just as easily be a waiter or something.

In mainland Europe most countries teach English to a very good standard and it is compulsory upto around the age of 18 in a lot of places. The requirement for out of school tutoring is small. Your better bet is the far east. A friends brother taught English in Taiwan and virtually every kid there has lessons outside of their school as well as in it. |
