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?
