Dear all

I'm at present living and teaching in China. However i'll be leaving in december to spend Christmas back in England.

I've been teaching for 2 years altogether. 1 year as a f/t contract teacher for EF. My second year as a freelance teacher. Both jobs in chengdu Sichuan.

I'm thinking about teaching back home, but have some very specific requirements b4 i sign to a new school. Yes i want to go back to f/t teachin. Trust me in China Freelance is much better. But it also makes u lazy and i want to move up in the ranks... Not be a teach 4ever, or at least have te option to become a DOS etc.

My requirements are simple.

1) Salary of at least 1500/2000 pounds net
2) mAX 25 HRS teaching and my weekends
3) A western DOS/AC
4) Teacher development schemes (class obs)
5) Professional development schemes (possible chance to move up the ranks, transfer to other city, country etc)
6) It really has to be a global organization, which allows teachers to use there own materials along with the school curriculum.
7)accommodation and health insureance would be kinda nice.

Can any of u well experienced lovely, beautiful gents and gentesses give me a huge helping hand. I'll love you 4 ever and will also drink a beer in you honour.

What scools hould i, can i go for, whch can give me what i want?

stay lucky and keep smiling

Assuming this post is serious (I'm being generous this morning), I suggest you read back through the archives. This will give you some more realistic expectations on salaries and conditions.

If you have a PGCE then the situation may alter slightly and open up more options.
