[Paris teacher]

I know that Saudi universities, when estimating your salary, add up how many years of English-teaching experience you have had. Well, in my case, I finished my M.Ed. TESOL in December of 2001, and I had been teaching for a private language school in Paris for over a year at that point. I then taught at this language school until June of 2003.


I taught EFL and English composition at a community college in Arizona as an adjunct from August 2011 to May of 2013, and simultaneously I taught English composition and English through cinema at a private art college during that time period as well. I now teach for a language school in Paris and a private university, where I have been employed at both for almost three years now.

So, would the 2001-2003 period count even though it was not a university? Also, do they consider the 2011-2013 period as two years or a total of four years since it was two years in duration, but at two different institutions?

Your language school experience will be counted because it's relevant to TESOL.

Since you're pursuing direct-hire opportunities, salary will be calculated per your employment verification letters (as mentioned in my PM to you).
