Hi there !

First a small introduction : I'm 25 years old and from Switzerland...
I never learnt English at school but in 2008 I went to Australia just "for fun". However, I started to learn English and rapidly I made lots and lots of progress. After a couple of months I got the FCE and then the CAE...

Being over happy I decided in october 2009 to start a TESOL Course.... I did it in 4 weeks (with only native speakers) and got the certificate...

I came back to my country one month ago... Now I need your help !

Is it possible for me to teach English ?!

- I'm not a native speaker
- I haven't done any degrees (I have a diploma in Tourism recognised internationally, that's all)
- I have TESOL and I'm motivated (but is that enough)....

So my questions are :

- is it possible to teach English with that ?
- if not, what should I do ? because I really wanna do that
- If yes, where ? I'm keen on Asian culture and would love to go other there.. but is it possible ????

Thank you very very much

Cheers

I have met teachers from Holland and Russia. One of them was 18 and clearly did not have a degree.
