Hello,
I've been in Bangalore the past year - teaching piano and exploring south indian classical music. I majored in music at a college in the American midwest. I also did the CELTA at International House, Budapest and then taught (English) for a year in Delhi (2003).
I was wondering if those of you who work in Bangalore could let me know how i might get back to teaching English again here in Bangalore - particularly if working part-time is possible. I plan on continuing with music - but want to keep my options open and dont want to get rusty in my language teaching skills.
By some strange twist- call it reverse discrimination if you wish - i think its easier for a north-American or European to get a job here than it is for me - in my own country! Wink

Thanks for the help!
- Siddhartha

Easier for Europeans? I always assumed they didn't need us teaching English there.

The corporate call centres in Bangalore frequently hire native speakers with TEFL certification to be English instructors and coaches. They typically pay US$1,000 per month and require that you work at night (when the employees answer calls from the U.S. and U.K.).

Hi guys,

I'm looking for possibilities to work at inlingua in India..does anyone have anything good or bad to say about them. I think they have been around since 2003 in India and I am led to believe that they are quite big in India now..Apreciate your comments. Hope that you guys have a good TEFL year in India.

Cheers

Most call centres are looking for full time. You should check out NEXT, which does have people on part-time. They also do hire Indians. Sorry, no link, but they're pretty big!
