Hi everyone,
I am moving to BA to complete my Masters degree and while I was not planning to teach English while I am down there, it consistently comes up as a suggested way for me to earn extra income. Right now, Groupon.com is going a huge deal on a 150-hour Online course to get TESOL/TESL/and TEFL certified for $69. I am strongly considering buying it because 1) I have no idea how I would begin to teach English if someone hired me, 2) It's a relatively small investment, and 3) Maybe I will end up finding ample opportunity to teach English and earn extra cash after all.
I'm wondering a few things before I buy (Deadline to buy is Jan 31 at midnight)
- How important/much do people care if a teacher is certified?
- How in demand are English teachers/Is it really that EASY to find students who want to learn English?
-What do English teachers charge students in BA?
I appreciate any input or advice on the subject....Part of me feels like I should just buy the course and use it as a backup plan if no other part-time work comes up. I do have experience tutoring and working with children, so it's not totally far-fetched that I could be an English teacher
Thanks in advance!
