 Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2009 4:34 pm Post subject: New ESL Teacher - Where to Go?? |
 |
|
I am a 39 year-old Canadian woman currently enrolled in the CELTA program (finishing mid-May). I have a Bachelor's degree (Science) and some University teaching experience (2 semesters teaching Nutrition). I had been working in Pharma Sales for the last 9 years and was ready for a change...hence CELTA.
Ideally, I prefer a position in a country where I will be able to save some money. I've been told Asia and the Middle East are the best options. Dubai holds some interest for me however I've been scouring these Forums and get the impression I may not have the qualifications to secure a decent paying position there. Additionally, I love Istanbul but am unsure if I'd be able to earn enough to accumulate any savings.
I would appreciate any and all feedback. |

With the CELTA, you should be eligible for many positions in Asia. The Middle East usually requires three to five years of experience plus an MA in the field. I started in Korea, got three years experience, and then moved on to Saudi Arabia. Let us know how it goes.
