I need to know if this is good enough to teach ESL in Korea.

I have a BS degree in Public Policy
I have TESOL
I have one year of experience teaching ESL
I have two years of tutoring experience in math, science, reading, and history

Is this good enough? Do I need to do more?
It is true. I do not have experience with young children. Maybe I should find a job with children before I leave?

Outside the classroom if I am approached by a parent should I charge 20,000 won an hour for private lessons. If you are an ESL teacher was is a good price range to charge? I plan on making some money there so any suggestions would be great.

Is ESL still in demand in Korea? And is it easy to get a job there? Is the interview process difficult? I’ve heard that they just want to hear your accent but I’ve also heard that there might be more to the interview than just that.

CLEAR GOVERNMENT THINKING

Clear thinking is the ‘new Green’

(whatever happened to Black?)

Regularly billed as ‘The world’s leading expert on the brain, memory and

learning’, Government, Educational and Business adviser Tony Buzan has a mind sharper than Sweeney Todd’s razor. You’re never likely to see him suffering from what motor racing drivers (or anybody else looking for an excuse for an inexplicable lapse of concentration or memory) archly refer to as ‘brain fade’. And ‘Senior moment’ excuses are definitely not his thing…

‘Guru of the Grey Matter’

Tony is the author or co-author of over 90 books on the brain, learning and business principles (published in…

Teaching English in Asia has become very popular among native English speakers from the United States and Canada. These are in fact the residents generally preferred by Asian employers in their numerous job offerings for teachers of English as a second language. Employment anywhere abroad is not guaranteed with just a strong knowledge of English, despite the fact that this language has become international over the past years. However, teaching is Asia is possible with nothing but the solid knowledge that most native English speakers possess. The only prerequisite is a university degree in any subject, but there are times…

First some context about the TEFL/ESL/TESOL labour market to think about. The market for English language learning in the world is booming. Compare the world now with that of twenty years ago. Communism in Russia and Eastern Europe is in its death throes, China is beginning the transition to capitalism, South America is emerging from a decade of turmoil and dictatorship, the EEC is deciding to become the European Union, the Internet and email is in its infancy, but expanding rapidly. All these global changes since then have unleashed the force of English as a global language and it is…

Product Description
What did the recruiter tell you? What is the truth? The truth is that everybody has a different experience. But, many recruiters are paid to fill positions. This book is about how to function. How to understand the way things work with phones and money, contracts and jobs. Having a drama will help you understand some of the idiosyncrises of different relationships. Sometimes you need a pinch to know you are sane. Then you read the “You know you are in…” section and find that you will laugh and relax, writing your own list of things to add to…
