 Posted: Tue Nov 21, 2006 4:27 pm Post subject: Getting a living wage in UK or Ireland |
 |
|
I am shortly embarking on a CELTA course and will be entering the jobs market shortly.
I understand that it is harder to find work in the UK or Ireland as a EFL teacher. However, is it feasible to get just part-time work and do private classes on the side (all year round) as I'm not sure of the possibility of getting full-time work all year? |

| Get the CELTA and leave. Living just below the poverty line in the UK is not fun, unless you're going to teach EFL as a hobby. |

| You could always take your weekly wages to the bookies, or try the national lottery. |

| Do you want to live and work in a society that produced Sutcliffe and Shipman ? |

Where do you come from? that is important. my wife and I do private group classes full time. It takes time but you should know what you are doing. One to one classes are useless because the student are naive and have no mathematical thoughts to the comparison with a group of 12 for example, and as to what they should pay as an individual. |

| It might still be a better option than Rockall. |
