Hi there !

First a small introduction : I'm 25 years old and from Switzerland...
I never learnt English at school but in 2008 I went to Australia just "for fun". However, I started to learn English and rapidly I made lots and lots of progress. After a couple of months I got the FCE and then the CAE...

Being over happy I decided in october 2009 to start a TESOL Course.... I did it in 4 weeks (with only native speakers) and got the certificate...

I came back to my country one month ago... Now I need your help !

Is it possible for me to teach English ?!

- I'm not a native speaker
- I haven't done any degrees (I have a diploma in Tourism recognised internationally, that's all)
- I have TESOL and I'm motivated (but is that enough)....

So my questions are :

- is it possible to teach English with that ?
- if not, what should I do ? because I really wanna do that
- If yes, where ? I'm keen on Asian culture and would love to go other there.. but is it possible ????

Thank you very very much

Cheers

yes, It is possible. Just don't apply to jobs that ask for a native speaker. Because you don't have a passport from an English speaking country.

Problem is your lack of degree, combined with not have a passport from an English speaking country.

Maybe try CHina. It's a good place to start.
