You seem to have neglected that if you have a teaching license for your home country, you are eligible for work in an international school, and your experience is prime for that.
All you have to do is tell us about this experience, and we could have saved a lot of time here.
Now, were those public school system kids the same age as the ones you want to teach abroad? More info that would be helpful.
And, if you don't mind my asking, what is "LEP"? |
Sorry, dude. Yes, I'm licensed to teach 6-12 English, 6-8 Math, and K-12 ESOL in the US. My experience is in teaching 7th -12th grade English Language Arts to mostly LEP (Limited English Proficiency) students. |

Can anyone recommend a country, locale or school/programs where:
1. The students actually want to learn, and the school's establishment is conducive, foremost, to their education, as opposed to profit at any cost;2. I will earn a salary that is sufficient to cover my expenses (not bothered about saving);
3. I will have the opportunity to take some paid leave during the contract to explore parts of the country;
4. Whilst teaching, I will be able to live as locally as possible (distance from the school and in terms of lifestyle).

Japan or S. Korea. |

Enigma,
Are you implying that in Japan students generally want to learn and that the teaching environment is conducive to their education? If so, I beg to differ and would like to know how you figure. |
