Teaching english in Europe with no degree but TEFL certificate?
Hi All,
I was wondering if it is feasible to teach English in Europe with only a college diploma and a TEFL certificate. I also have a EU passport. Any suggestions would be great!! |

Be aware, however, that ESL teaching tends to pay very poorly in most of Europe, since there are plenty of people wanting to do exactly what you want to do. In general, the less desirable the location, the better ESL teachers are paid there. So London or Paris will pay very poorly, but Mkryzto in Outer Vulgaria may pay fairly well. Also, there are some positions in ESL that pay moderately well, even in saturated markets. These positions require both a TEFL or CELTA and a degree in some related field, often in education. That is, they require you to meet the requirements for a normal public-school teacher. Viewed from that standpoint, though, they actually don't pay that well after all (unless you already happen to have the qualifications--these jobs certainly don't justify going out to get them). -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

You also need to be mother-tongue English too if you want to have a chance. Actually, none of the guys I know even have their TEFL certificate I don't think! The most important thing seems to be being presentable, and having the right bits of paper to work. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

In Italy, those qualifications might get you a job in a private language instruction school, but the pay is really miserable. -- Barbara Vaughan My email address is my first initial followed by my surname at libero dot it I answer travel questions only in the newsgroup |
