My qualifications are the following:
Education:
MD in Education
Work experience:
6 months in Stockholm, Sweden. Swedish middle-school.
Classes: English, Geography, Arts, Swedish, Science.
2 years of teaching in Beijing.
Subjects: English.
Age: 28
Nationality: Swedish
Any information appreciated! |

| Well, if you want to teach Swedish, I'd say your chances are fairly good. If you want to teach English, not-so-good. Even if your English is 100% native equivalent of a Brit, you won't be recognized as such on paper. |

I don't think it's the case that you have to be a native English speaker to get English teaching jobs. Certainly not at private language schools, and I have a feeling that there are some non-native English teachers on the NET programme and/or at the big international schools. |
