Hello,

I would appreciate leads for opportunities for first-time English teachers in the Middle East (Dubai in particular), Thailand, and Taiwan. I have tons of relevant teaching experience at the university, community college, and workshop levels, however, I am not certified nor have I taught English per se.

If anyone has suggestions for �legitimate� leads be they recruiters, placement agencies, or schools/universities directly, I am looking for a position in the near term, vs. waiting until a September semester start.

Thank you.

Avoid recruiters. Try looking here at eslcafe.com on the intl job board, telf.com and seriousteachers.com

Why Dubai?

What are your quals?

If you have university level teaching experience, and post graduate degrees, a lot of places would be more than happy to overlook the lack of certification.

On the other hand, if you're a genuine newb, the middle east will be hard. They pay at a scale that generally, they get high level qualifications.

I don't know Taiwan, but have heard much the same.

Thailand is the lowest paying of the options you mention, but probably the easiest to break into.

best,
Justin
