 |
|
My brother and his wife want to come here and teach ESL. For him, no problem -youngish white American male with a bachelors degree in something and a few years esl experience.
For her, I'm not so sure - Filipina, Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education. summa cum laude, (4 year scholarship) from a teachers university in Philippines; with a specialization in ESl; plus she has been teaching Koreans at a school in the Philippines; great English skills; barely detectable Filipina accent
Any schools/hagwons/unis/company classes/etc she could teach at/for? If not, how dangerous would it be for her to teach private ESL lessons? What could she realistically expect to charge per hour?

| No degree from one of the major English speaking countries (US, Canada, Ireland, England, NZ, Australia or S.A) then no visa. It's that simple. |

Since your brother is married, he can bring along his wife as a dependent. She cannot legally teach privates.
That is a shame she is a qualified teacher with a speciality in ESL. |

She should be able to pick up some work on the side.
It's illegal...but so is prostitution and paddling the children.  |

| She could leave your brother and marry a Korean. Or she could switch to a student visa. |

| They've already completed his work visa paperwork (she is being invited/included by his employer as she is his spouse). Would she be able to switch that to a student visa if she enrolls in a part time program here, or would she have to divorce him first? |
