|
|
My wife and I are teachers in China and have been looking for work in Eastern or Central Europe. We are not picky about where we want to live. We would like to get a CELTA and are wondering about which countries are easier to get a job in or have a bigger market than others. Any thoughts would be appreciated. |

Poland. You can even do the CELTA over there, it's one of the cheapest locations to get certified. |

Might be useful to note that the main hiring season for the region (essentially for the continent) is September with a small January bump. It's not significantly different country-to-country. |

Would it be wise to begin a TEFL course in Jan. that finished in early or mid February? Would everyone have already grabbed work by then? |

Take a course in November, start early Jan, expect first paycheques Feb., if lucky. Remember that this is an employer's market-there are lots of teachers around and the reputable schools aren't under any pressure to hire outside of main season. January is chancy already. Feb is dead. |
