| Thanks for the advice. Living outside of a major city is ok with me. Any advice what areas outside of Auckland need teachers? |

The best advice is to come on down, take a couple of months to explore the different areas until you find a place suitable.
Bring warm clothes and a squeegee if you're coming down for the winter months. |

| Maybe doing some temp/substitute work would work well to figure out which school would work. But I am not sure that one can work without a full time position. |

er...how much do you know about working here in New Zealand? I'm guessing not much.
OK...you will not get any relief teaching work, or any other work, unless you are a holder of a valid work permit. That or if you have a one-year Work Holiday Visa (WHV) you can work at a variety of jobs, but each job is limited to three months. If you are older than 30, tough cookies, no WHV. You cannot get a work permit without a job offer from a prospective employer who has been given approval in principle or can show that no other qualified Kiwis can be found to do the work. To get the work permit for teaching in a state school you have to show that you are a certificated teacher, and no, a TEFL cert isn't gonna fly.
Good luck. |
