Teaching English

Gonzo asked:


I hear South Korea pays the most - in terms of cost of living and being able to save your money that you earn. Any others that pay well?
If anyone was in ESL please let me know if you enjoyed it.

Dan asked:


I want to teach english in China. There are many jobs that do not require a teaching certificate (only a bachelor’s degree). So should I go for the tesol or should I save my money?

I am recent high school graduate, and have just returned from teaching English in Brazil for the summer as a volunteer. Now that I am home the pressure is on to figure out where I am going to college. My original top three choices have all accepted me.. but now I find myself leaning toward the college that I visited while I was in Brazil. I want to go into secondary education with an esl minor. The goal is to eventually be teaching english to exchange students who are in highschool. The problem is, even though I speak some portugese, I am not terribly fluent. This would put me a semester behind, as I would be required to attend portugese classes, if I do attend UNASP in Brazil. This would end up costing my parents more money in the long run.. I guess my question is, is it worth going to Brazil and picking up Portugese? Would it benefit my major in any way or should I stick to my original choices?

Gonzo asked:


Outside the classroom if I am approached by a parent should I charge 20,000 won an hour for private lessons. If you are an ESL teacher was is a good price range to charge? I plan on making some money there so any suggestions would be great.
