Hello,

I have just arrived in Salamanca where I will be studying for one year as part of my degree.

I was wondering if anybody knew of any good language schools where I could apply to for part-time work. I currently hold a CELTA certificate at Grade Pass B and two years worth of teaching experience. I am also part way through completing my degree fom the University of Edinburgh.

Any advice on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Simon

The procedure is to look at the local advertisements for schools teaching English and then go along and talk to them.

I would first make sure it won't screw up your student visa status.

If some of your fellow students want to provide you with a consideration for helping them learn English - like in an Intercambio - you are a lot less likely to get in dutch.

I personally would be happy to provide an hour of conversation practice for a plate of Bacalao a la Viscaina. Who knows what I might do for a serving of Zarzuela de Mariscos?

MDK, thanks very much for the heads up on the visa issue, I have to be honest I hadn�t considered that at all, so its really good to be aware of it!

I have seen a lot of signs on phone boxes for Direct English and Preston Institute, which I was wondering about checking out.
Does anybody know anything about those places?

If neither of them work out, then bring on the bacalao!
