BA (Hons) Eng Lit, PgCert Eng Lit, Celta
5 years teaching exp. ESL.
Not a qualified teacher for State school unfortunately. It seems to be too much of a hassle now to get into PGCE course.... I'm just bored. |

Depending on how old is "old" Asia may be an option.

Do you need money or have enough for retirement?
Could pick a nice area and just chill. |

Not 'old' enough to retire yet, still a long way to go yet. Just hit the deadline age for Middle East and Asia is bit too far as I have family commitments.
Still need to earn, but importantly to keep sane need to work. |

Do you have pension or savings? Maybe a retirement visa and teaching online? Like the scheme is Malaysia? You're old enough to retire there.
What about setting up a business somewhere in Europe to cater to people who want to learn English? |

Thank you for your advice. I have thought about all of this, but I have to stay in UK due to family circumstances. |

If you can get into a job before 58 you can often stay - for a long time in some cases. PM me |
