Teaching English Abroad is a trap... 

It's interesting to hear your experience. As someone who has been in teaching English for 10 years though... TEFL is more of a trap in certain places. I've not been to Taiwan, but I have worked in China - I would say China is the biggest TEFL trap I've seen and so I did get out in less than a year. There are options to move up or onto something different that can be a career. A lot of teachers move into international schools which is a fine choice if you like children. Others move into universities, management, examining, teacher training, materials writing, etc. Some start successful businesses and others grow a side hustle into a profitable income stream. Personally, I manage a school and work as a teacher trainer and have my fingers in a few other pies. I'm not making tons of money because of the part of the world I choose to live in, but I still save and plan to move back to more profitable places later. But of course, if you don't enjoy it, then absolutely you need to get out. The main advice I'd give anyone on this point is to consider 1. getting out at retirement and 2. getting out earlier if you need to, and both of those things mean putting aside money.

It's only a trap if you go into it for the wrong reasons. If you're feeling stuck in life, feel like you have no purpose or direction, it can help ground you. I did it when I was 35 and it was the best decision I've ever made. Was it a career move? No, but the idea of a traditional 'career' these days is becoming less and less mainstream. I would prefer to teach and enjoy what I do than grind away in a job that doesn't respect my time.

I think the key is to learn skills while abroad that can be monetized as an entrepreneur, such as languages, photography, digital marketing, etc.

Actually it does a ton for your resume! Every job I’ve ever had after being abroad has loved the fact that I’ve lived abroad. It makes you stand out. In fact, plenty of jobs said that’s the sole reason they called me for an interview AND I got the job. Add that experience to your resume girl!

Crazy I have these same goals now at 32 and why I'm looking to move abroad and teach. Living in American is like being on a hamster wheel to me.

I worked in China for a year as an esl teacher. I'm from South Africa! Best year of my life... Would recommend it to anyone!

I am 24 now and I am in the same situation just not looking at this as a career forever, but because I want to travel and need a job. I am from New Zealand but I am currently in Brazil and I feel so much more clear minded and I hope that I can make a living with teaching English while I am here.

So glad you spoke about this Nnenia, because for sure some of us don't want to be teachers forever but we can get comfortable within that space. Great info and breakdown of both sides of the coin 🙂

Loved this video! I guess the idea of "a gap in your resume" depends on the employer. I mean I think a good employer, will see teaching abroad as a massive positive. If they don't, I would consider it more of a red flag for them.

thank you for this video! I am in school for ESL, and getting my bachelors in education and this really solidified my choices. I related so much to you, and really appreciate your point of view!!

I think essentially that anyone can get stuck in any career path. It’s tough out here. Thank you for sharing your opinion and experiences!!❤️

As someone who is interested in teaching English abroad, I really enjoyed this video and appreciate your pros and cons! I feel like after looking into this for so long, a lot of videos kind of manipulate you into thinking it’s heaven on earth (probably for them) but rarely do I find a video with cons and how it can affect reality when you go back home. I’m majoring in global studies and world languages SPECIFICALLY bc I’m so scared I won’t have many opportunities once/if I decide to go back home and work. This video was super helpful in getting my mind in the right place about this decision I’m going to make. Thank you so much! ❤️

I taught abroad for over 5 years. Loved it! Traveled the world and got paid. See my Pic? That's scuba diving in Bali. I have friends that started their own school abroad and made enough to buy apartments and cars etc.

Thank you for being so real about your experience. I am in a similar place in my life at 25 trying to decide what to do. I especially appreciate you being honest about what your intentions where when entering this path. Many thanks 🙏

9:49 this is literally what I've always thought before. Even now, I want to teach English abroad just for one year to see how it goes. I resonated with a lot of the things you say. I am not just surviving as I live with my parents and am freelancing, working with a company that pays in US dollars so the exchange rate is high, but my days just feel mundane and robotic. There must be more to life. My life is good but oftentimes I feel stuck in a box where im not really growing or learning anything. Still, I'm extremely grateful for what I currently have

I think the growth opportunities come from getting more certified. If you’re actual teacher in your home country you can get into international schools. TeacHNow allows you to get certified overseas. The trap is time. When I came back from Korea everyone wanted years of experience to do entry level jobs and unless you can leverage your overseas experience it will be harder to transition back home. The more time you stay overseas the more you push yourself into education even back home education is the only place you can leverage those experiences

I can’t explain how on point your reasoning for deciding to teach English abroad resonate with me, thank you for sharing!

I want to go abroad mainly for the reason that I want to eventually leave the United States. I have been looking into countries like Italy for an English teaching job. I just don’t know what to really do

This has actually encouraged me. I mean I feel like I am exactly like you were before the job, so I am hoping teaching abroad can give me the same experience

I'm praying for you gorgeous, I pray that a 1 in a million opportunity manifests to you soon! I am in the same exact situation and you have opened my mind about learning languages and moving abroad to teach languages! I know it's hard but your success will be well worth everything in the end and keep your head up girl! The strongest battles are for the strongest people! 1 love❤️

Great video Nnenia! Very clear and I like your respectful tone. I know exactly what you are talking about as I have taught in China for 4 years and now back in the UK it's very hard to find a good job, and like you said, starting from scratch again. Keep the videos coming :)

Thanks for talking about such an insightful topic! In many ways I was considering teaching abroad as an escape from the 'real world' after graduating university. Now I'm definitely thinking more critically about how to spend a year abroad productively and avoid falling into the 'trap'.

I am literally you at 24. I'm home in USA studying for my masters degree, and I have no clue how I want to use it. But I definitely plan on living abroad for a year or two. Thank you for this!

I plan on teaching English abroad as covid ruined my chances to study abroad in college. I really appreciate your insight as you offer very valid points. As someone looking into this unique experience, the best thing I can get is honest advice. I see what you mean about it being a job that may be difficult to advance your career in, but given this information now, I may be able to figure out some other ways to advance myself abroad; possibly through using youtube or other side hustles. Thanks!

I really appreciate your input! I was on the fence, but after listening to your words of wisdom it has provided some clarity! I might just go and do it.

such important points that you made! my motivation for wanting to teach in taiwan is because i want to improve my chinese and become a translator (i want to be immersed in the language and culture). so i feel like although it's not direct, it's a good way for me to pivot

Wow! 👌 Thanks for sharing this! You've clearly communicated what many feel but haven't said

This was super awesome to hear. Not many people are talking about this side of teaching abroad and it needs to be heard. I have not taught abroad but have taught virtually for three years and found myself in a similar situation as you did. Stumbled upon it after grad, wanted more freedom, love travel etc. but I think what people in our shoes should consider is what possibilities can they reach by teaching a language abroad or virtually. Lots opportunities have opened up since the RONA and we should always explore those opportunities. I really enjoyed this video and feel that if I were to be in Taiwan we would be good friends haha

Wow, this video was so helpful. I'm in the exact same position- I'm 24 and a friend introduced the idea of doing a TEFL to travel. Loved hearing your perspective on this as someone else who doesn't have a passion for teaching or wanting to pursue it as a career. It's been such a tough decision but hearing your thoughts was so helpful. Thanks for sharing.

I’m starting my TEFL course in January. I have already lived in Spain for a year on a Study Abroad programme. This video is very helpful so thank you for sharing 😊

I understand where you are coming from. I lived and taught English abroad for 7 years, mostly in South Korea and China. I have a degree in Education and history. I decided to move back to the US because I thought I would have better opportunities and was honestly tired of living abroad. I moved back to the US 4 years ago and it has been hard to adjust living here. I have changed jobs and work at a tech company, but I miss the lifestyle living abroad. I had more personal freedom. It is hard and lonely to live in the USA. I have two children with one of them starting 1st grade, and I am thinking about going back for my daughter's education. I may have more career choices in America, but less time for my family. My wife is from the Philippines and is much closer to her family than I am to mine. Being married with school age kids, my priorities have changed. Thank you for sharing, and I hope the best for you!

I want to teach English, Spanish, and a third language. I was looking into TEFL and this really has helped me. I love hearing someone else's perspective.

Have been enjoying binging your videos Nnenia! You may not remember me but we did Super Scholar Excel together at Xavier! So happy to see you enjoying life and pursing your dreams! ❤

I’ve lived and taught in Taiwan and mainland China. I preferred China. I taught in college and university. You can teach English with a bachelor degree. They provide you with an apartment on the campus. 5 minutes walk to class. Teaching hours are all day time and week days. It’s cheap to live there and eat out. And lots of free time and holidays. Two months off in summer and two months off at Chinese New Year. Depending on your contract some vacation time is paid. You get paid every month. I didn’t make a lot of money but I loved the job and students and traveled a lot during vacation time. That’s my experience. On the other hand Taiwan is more like North America. Not much vacation time. It’s more expensive to live. You have to arrange your own apartment and commuting.

Thankyou for this video, so many other people only talk about how fun and great it is in a way that feels like Im being sold an MLM, your honesty has made me more interested in looking into doing this

This is a very trustworthy and insightful video. Thank you for shearing

I think it makes sense to get an online business going BEFORE going abroad to teach English. You teach English to get the Visa and then make most of your money from private lessons/online business.

Your video is really helpful for me as a Taiwanese who majored at Spanish in the college and want to teach Chinese aboard and practice my Spanish at the same time . As China become more powerful day by day, more and more foreigners start to learn Chinese and this is a great opportunity for Chinese native speakers just like me.

Once you leave for more than a year or two just stay cause moving back here is HELL. I left for 7 years and it's so miserable trying to get back on my feet here. If you leave keep your bank accounts active, pay somebody's phone jbill every month and have them send you the cash back. Do not let your credit history/credit score go years without any transactions because for all the money you save being abroad people won't rent to you or give you a loan for a car if you don't have established credit. No matter how much down you can pay.

Thank you very much! That's exactly what I needed 😌

I really hear this and can relate so much to what you were feeling before you went abroad to live.

You're not missing anything in America. There is just more of everything, like, drugs, crime, poverty, racism. Whatever it was here when you left, it's worse. If there is no food shortage there, at least for now, you should stay there or go somewhere else. Make that Money.

Is 24 the age for confusion? Everything you’ve said is spot on for me! The reasons and just everything. I started doubting myself because I thought “oh but teaching isn’t a passion of mine so maybe this wouldn’t be a good option”. It’s always been a part of me tho to see the world, experience new cultures, and learn new languages. Seeing this video and the other comments has actually inspired me :)

thank you for sharing your perspective! I'm currently in a similar situation, I'm feeling stuck in my country, with no job opportunities that excite me. I have considered teaching English because I would love to live abroad as an experience and have a decent job that won't be too demanding. but mainly, I'm in it for the travel. Even after one year, if I hate it I can come back, so there's no big damage.

Traveling is such an important thing. Really builds a different perspective mentally. I traveled to Canada for Uni, I'm originally from the US, and I currently feel a little of that "starting all over" from a career perspective as I moved back to America. This is a completely normal feeling for human beings. Nothing is given to you in life. Life can be lonely and scary at times. But get back up, focus, and build something!!

I’m 33 . Tried quite a few things and feel a lack of adventure and don’t connect with partners here well. Luckily I have a BA. So I’m going to get a tefl and head to Vietnam and Thailand , travel, work on music and be around a new culture !

This is a very insightful video. It articulated a lot of concern I couldn't find words for, and allows me a moment to evaluate "what am I trying to get out of this." It confirmed some the things that I am looking for too! Specifically the "dread of coming to work" in the States. Cost of living, and a respite from the dread are in my pros 😅

Thanks for the video. Although I understand your frustration and your point of view it looks like you have achieved a lot of good things during this time living there as well. Having quality time for yourself and extra time to do things like the ones you mentioned are amazing. For example, I feel trapped myself here in the US, all we do in this country is work our a$$es off, all americans worry about is to have a big fat 401K and take a short vacation once per year. We dont even get enough vacation time. I will not take any money with me to the grave, for me life has to be experienced. I gave my everything, dedicated my time to my last employer and they just laid off my entire department, took our job positions to another estate, no warning, and caught us off guard... Have a great day and stay positive

This is really inspiring. I’ve been working as a teacher here in Saudi Arabia for 7 years now and my school rarely provide professional development programs, only in the pandemic i decided to finish my masters degree and publish research articles in order to add something out of my professional work. Right now, because of the pandemic i was able to continue to take EdD through remote classes from universities back home. Truly it feels like a trap esp when we do not do much of our free time. Thanks for you inspiring words.

How can I get into Taiwan? I want to go there but It seems you need at least 2 years experience.

I'm currently doing my final year in SA, and all my life I've been dreaming to teach abroad. Thanks for sharing your experience. Its very helpful to people like me.

I had a great time personally when I was in Japan. Made a good amount from teaching, also moonlighted a few nights as a bartender which paid better than my teaching gig.

Great video! In my view though the real trap is getting into a career in your own country where employers expect so much from you that you don't have the mental bandwidth or energy to focus on anything outside of your work. Even if TESOL isn't your career focus, at least you still have enough left in the tank at the end of the day to pursue other things. You could always work online teaching English back in America, so you can be with family and still pursue your passions.

The fact that you put yourself into the world the way you did is very eye catching on a CV

Fo you think it's the particular country? I'm thinking Bali or Costa Rica.

I really appreciated your balanced video! I am looking into it as I dont know what career I would like to go into, however, would love if 6 month contracts were more readily available, so if i dont like it i am not bound to stay a very long time. 1 year feels very committed!

Some great points.... What's tough is doing this lifestyle as a couple where one is passionate about it and the other is not. 😬🤭

I went to live in a foreign country just because I married a foreigner. I have watched many in the same situation turn to teaching english just because they couldn't find another job right away. They end up trapped- often not being paid enough by companies that take advantage of the expat spouses, and soon being too far from their previous education and experience to get back into it. They also end up not developing their skills enough in the local language, because they are using english most of the time. I had a lot of pressure on me for years to teach, but refused to do it. After 30 years here in France, I finally decided to go into it, and found I love it. But I am still glad that I didn't earlier. I was able to be completely immersed in the local language, do other jobs, and even eventually go to school here and get a degree entirely in French. I am fluent in french, which I honestly don't think would have happened if I'd just turned to teaching english during my first few years.

Who did you do your TEFL certification through?

I've been teaching in Japan for 12 years. It's changed a lot since I first started. You used to be able to make for $1,800 a month teaching 24 hours or so a week. Now you'd be lucky to earn that much and you're working 40hrs a week with 10 days paid holiday a year. Even university jobs are terrible. You earn about $3,700 a month, which is good for Japan, but there's not job security and people are often let go after a year and have to find a job in a different university. They let foreign teacher's go after 5 years max to avoid having to make them a Shaiin, or a proper, full-time employee. And yet you need a masters or a PhD and published research papers to get this kind of work. I went for a job interview the other day for a high school, which paid over 250,000 yen a month, which is like the barrier many teachers find hard to break. The interviewer told me other candidates included a PhD and a lawyer. Wage inflation is rife here, as it is everywhere I guess. But in Japan you get a lot of well qualified people who get married and they're stuck here, all running after the few jobs that aren't McTeaching. And if you do get a managerial position you'll be worked like a dog and have to pander your Japanese paymasters who have a Victorian attitude to boss/employee relationships. Alternatively I taught TOEFL iBT test prep in Bangkok for 2 years which paid relatively well at $1,250 a month, my apartment, which had a swimming pool and a gym and great views of downtown Bangkok, only cost $192 dollars. In fact I could save $1,000 a month if I'd wanted to. As it was a went out all the time, spent loads of money and got my teeth done and still managed to save. But Thailand is changing now too, you have to go to immigration every 3 months, I believe, and the cost of living is increasing while wages are not. I have a degree in finance and read, write and speak (nearly) fluent Japanese so I've been getting into translation. But it's difficult getting sponsored as a freelancer and when software like deepl.com can translate most texts to a very high standard it disheartening. I don't think anyone who wants to make money decides to teach English abroad, but at least it was fun. Now it's not even that anymore, not in Japan anyway.

hey girl can you provide the website for application ?

Teaching ESL in Asia in the past few decades are done by those who are in their 20's and 30's who aren't quite sure what to do with their lives. You don't want to be teaching ESL when you are in your late 30's. I used to teach ESL but I have moved on to a better career. Living abroad is an opportunity to learn and experience new things, and it's an opportunity people shouldn't let it go to waste. Learning Mandarin is a no brainer. My Chinese teacher used to say, learning a new language allows you to rearrange the furniture in your head and allows you to think and reason differently. It has been proven that learning new languages improve your overall IQ and various types of cognitive functions. So when people go back to the States, being fluent in Mandarin is something they can add to their resume and will open doors for many things.

Thanks for sharing!! I'm glad you are able to have money to do what you want to do. Also I'm glad you have found a stress free teaching job. I've been working in Education for 15 years and I'm finally getting the chance to teach in another country in August.

I agree. I got stuck near Shanghai with COVID, for three extra years. When I returned to America, I couldn't get back to my Los Angeles because I had been gone so long, my driver's license, bankcards, technology all had to be replaced, this took months and was expensive and almost dangerous. Then I imagined that teaching online would be OK, and it's terrible and low-paying. Schools in America all seem corrupt or just uninspiring and low-paying. I finally have an idea to do corporate training in another industry I know about, but who knows if that will work out either. I've tried to go to other countries, but each country has some problem or other.

How realistic is teaching English abroad as a single parent?

I'm almost finished with my 120 hour TEFL certification. I also have a history degree. I'm 33 and still lost in life, feeling like you were when you were young. I think Taiwan is where I want to go because I'm interested in Asian culture, I want to learn Mandarin and most importantly my fiancé is from the Philippines and Taiwan is close to it so we can bounce back & forth. I think what you're doing with YT and learning new things, developing side hustles etc is the way to go with the path you've taken. I'm also trying to create a few RU-vid channels. I wish you the best of luck in your life and thank you for being honest about the situation. Now I'm going to watch more of your videos because Taiwan is where I want to go. Truly, best wishes and thank you again.

I usually work in nonprofits and youth/student support services which I still prefer over teaching no matter how good of a teacher/mentor/coach I am. I taught in Korea, China, and now Taiwan. Unlike most people starting off, I have a lot of teaching experience but I rather move onto something else in the next few years even if I'm not stressed out and can cope with teaching in a more laxed environment. I get the saving money and travel mindset won't blame anyone for wanting to pursue that. However, definitely you won't have much opportunities to grow career wise and pay wise you won't get much after a certain year. The honeymoon phase can die out quickly. Also you might receive some kind of respect but you won't necessarily fit in--which I'm not trying to do at all but teaching English can become very mudane/dull with very little excitement later so that could easily bored you. You could enjoy it for a few years but if you're not looking to be a teacher for life cap it at 5 years and do something else. My two cents based on experience.

Thank you for the video!

I currently have a full time job, is it possible to do the tefl course on the side? Ir is the course difficult?

Does anyone have experience with teach Thailand SOS, are they a legit organization?

Thanks i needed this for my travelling abroad in English

Your version of "stuck" doesn't actually sound so bad compared to being stuck in a dead end job in America. Thank you for making this video! It is helping me as I contemplate if I want to live/teach abroad :)

nice video!! i think i resonate a lot with what you're saying. i lived in spain teaching english for 3 years and have just moved back to the US this past june. i absolutely adored it and life abroad however at the beginning of my third year i realized i wasn't passionate about teaching and thus i want to explore what i want to do. that's hard to do in a country abroad especially when you come via TEFL. so like you said i feel like after some years of life abraod (through TEFL opportunities) it comes to a point where you either decide to dig your heels in the teaching profession and maybe get a masters in tefl so you can get a worthwhile position teaching abroad or have the courage to move back and figure it out from there. i 100% plan on living abroad again one day but i want to do that doing something i feel passionate about and and with more experience under my belt. also making a more comfortable salary too (the most famous spain program pays 700 to 1000 euros a month for langaue assistants-- enough to live comfortably in spain if you're frugal but hard to save real money for american cost of living and/or future needs)

Great points to point out all sides!

Hello Nnenia, i stumbled on your profile and I wish i did earlier Lol. i am Nigerian and I have dreams of moving abroad to further study Public Health and Biotechnology. But someone suggested this temporary detour or route to that end goal. I would like you to guide me through

I think it basically comes down to what your goals are and your perspective on ESL teaching. If you go into it just as a gap year job, want to travel, etc then yes that's also what employers are going to see. There's still a lot you can learn from it, but ultimately you'll need to frame your experiences in a way which highlights transferable skills or take the opportunity to pick up in-demand like languages. But this is where you risk that trap of being stuck in an entry level ESL job, without the skills / qualifications to really progress within teaching (and it's not your goal anyway), and not making progress towards your long term plans. For me, I'm a qualified science teacher in the UK and decided to teach ESL abroad as a stepping stone into an international teaching career. Then my longer term goals are to return to the UK and pivot into language teaching. So my ESL teaching experience will be directly relevant to future medium term goals (I'll be better able to support students with English as a second language in international schools) and long term goals (I'm working more on my language skills and building language teaching experience). Similarly, if you continue in the ESL industry there ARE opportunities for progression. It's an issue with teaching in general that teachers tend to get stuck in the classroom and it's hard to progress into management without losing touch with the job you were actually passionate about. But yes, teachers can move up into leadership roles within a school, set up education businesses (e.g. after school language centres), move into curriculum development, work in educational policy, etc.

I’m actually teaching abroad after graduating with my masters, I’m not concerned about the timeline of my career path, everything will work out the way it’s suppose to!

I still like teaching children. My major was elementary education I was struggling with my certification and running out of time if I wanted to graduate on time or take a semester off. Teaching English abroad has been goal of mind since high school. I switched my major to general studies to graduate on time and if I ever want to go back and do education again or just take the certification since I only had 10 classes left I can later. Right now I really want to teach in another country and do that for awhile im not dead set on teaching in America

Have you thought of joining Peace Corps and then using that to going any number of government/NGO/Nonprofit positions?

Thank you for this video it really helped me. Umm I do have a question though when you get certified to teach in one state right well if you want to move to another state you have to get certified to teach there so if you travle abroad how do you get certified to teach over there is it the same way???

Thank you girl ❤️

Thank u so much❤ I want to teach English abroad so bad am an English student and iam gonna graduate next year ❤ I hope my bachelor can help me to do it is it okay without master degree? Only my fundamental business license?

Good. I'm learning here with you from Brazil.

Are there countries that don't require a TEFL or any other related certificate to teach English? I jist have a bachelor's.

Is it worth it to work in malaysia as primary teacher. I’m considering even Singapore

When you say ‘all you need is a bachelor’s degree’, do you mean a degree for english/teaching? Or just any degree?

I am finishing my law course soon and in ireland we have to take 8 fe1 exams that you can complete online. I was thinking of moving to spain and teaching English while completing these exams. The gap in my resume would be solved because of that and it would be a great experience.

Really helpful...Iam an English graduated and willing to continue my pg in English at Uk also iam not an English native so is it possible there to teach English to the English natives

For me if i want to live abroad i have two options. Teach English or work for an NGO. Most NGOs do not align with my interests as I do not want to promote democracy as that is one of the reasons I choose to live in Non-Democratic countries.( I like living in China, Vietnam, and Cambodia which are Communist countries) I also do not want to compel natives to become Christians or unionize. If i could find NGOs that promote anti-Western propaganda or are pro CCP I would be all for them. Main reason i teach English is if i went back to the USA i would likely have some boring job that would pay me enough to pay bills if i am lucky. At least with teaching English abroad I can stay for a year in one country and can move to another the next. Basically, I spend the weekdays teaching and my freetime playing pc games and cooking meals for the week. .

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on the topic. To me, life in America is starting to feel like a trap.

Hey, I really liked your video. It was very informative. Did you have to get a TEFL certification first?

Can you please talk about your experience learning Mandarin?

How is everyone dealing with the high U.S.A. income taxes that us citizens still have to pay overseas? Federal (37%) + North Dakota State (5%) + Social Security and Medicare(15.3%)= 57.3%. I graduate next December. Are they using some type of foreign income tax exclusion loophole?

Hello. Thank you for your great video. So informative. Is there a minimum or maximum age requirement?

18 months was enough for me. I found that the foreingers that had been teaching ESL for 3 plus years were all a little bit odd and probably unable to pursue a career in their home country.

My word of advice, make sure the schools provide benefits, such as free accomodation, flight allowance and paying for your VISA. I wish people would stop coming overseas to take these jobs from career teachers like myself. Please stop using these jobs as a crutch, working at Walmart would make you more money than here.

I’m an expat in Bogotá teaching English. I wholeheartedly enjoy my no stress, purposeful job. I never thought I would teach especially coming from a real estate career.

Just turned 25 this past month and graduated with a B.S in electrical engineering around a year ago but like you said in the video didn't feel the passion to really pursue it to this day. Been getting interested in the idea of trying out a year teaching English in japan granted Covid restrictrictions allow. Your story seems relatable so I just was curious as to what you graduated in?

I am really struggling to get the right agency for to secure me a job. Can anyone help?

Did you take the celta or tefl course??
