|
|
If, after I graduate from Uni, I take a year off, get a CELTA, go to Asia to teach, get lots of experience, and then return home to start a Masters degree, how easy would it be to get a part-time job teaching English? Seems like there would be a fair amount of summer-work, but what about the rest of the time?
In Manchester, there is lots of foreign students, lots of language schools. Did anyone here have similar experiences? |

You would probably earn as much in a bartending job. Part-time EFLing in Uk is minimum wage. |

It can be done - the trick is to get your oar in over the summer, i.e. now.
If you can get summer work in Manchester, the schools may be able to offer you part-time work over the winter and spring - the larger schools shold have a fairly constant source of Saudi students making their way over to the UK during the winter months to learn English at a conversation school before either taking the IELTs or embarking on a pre-sessional EAP course at their chosen university. This will give you some income, although you will be limited to a maximum of 20 hours a week teaching. |
