Greetings board!

I understand from posters on the lp site that this is the place to inquire about teaching in Egypt.

My partner and I really want to teach in Egypt in 2007. I know that that is a long way off but wanted to know if we would be able to get the jobs that we have heard about on the web and by word of mouth. I understand that if you have the proper credentials and experience that you can do quite well in Egypt.

For myself: I have a 4yr BA, have TESL (recognized by TESL Can) and will have a teaching certificate (high school) from Canada (Toronto). I taught ESL to mixed ages in Japan for a year and a half, and have been teaching ESL to young adults in Toronto for approximately one year.

For her: She has a Masters of Business (UM) and TESL. She worked in Japan teaching adults for approximately a year and is currently a business manager.

I�m interested in teaching high school and she is interested in teaching English at a university.

Just wanted to know if we would have realistic chances at getting decent jobs in Egypt b/f setting down in Canada? Or would we need more experience?

Thanks for your help,

Chrisfish
