Can I find employment with 9 months of experience and a TEFL
Posted: 13 Jun 2011, 01:33
Hi everyone,
I am an American man seeking employment in foreign countries to teach English. I have voluntarily taught English in Russia and China for a total of 9 months. I plan on receiving my certification in TEFL from an online course.
I guess the question is this: Would employers even consider me if I have 9 months worth of experience and a TEFL certificate from an online class? Or do I actually need a degree? I'm reluctant on getting a degree from a University because it's too expensive and I'm not even sure if a BS is even worth anything here in the States anymore.
Thanks in advance...
