jujubean asked:
I have been teaching English as a Second Language for about 20 years now (I have a Masters, and am licensed to teach K-12), but I’m getting tired of working full-time in the schools. I would love to work from home, but can’t figure out how to get started teaching online, or even if it would be possible to support us by this method. Does anyone have any experience and/or helpful advice that could either get me started or steer me away from it? Thanks!

douglas j asked:
I have been teaching for five years in South Korea. I thought it would be easier to get a job in Japan based on my experience. So why is it so hard to get a position? Since it will be my first year in Japan I am not too concerned about where or what kind of school it is.

tanya k asked:
Ive heard a few different things regarding teaching English overseas. Do all or most countries require that you have a degree in teaching? I know that you more than likely need a TESL certification, but in order to get that, do you need a teaching degree?

bonngirl2002 asked:
I am interested in spending some time overseas in a teaching capacity. I’ve never done anything like this before and I’m finding the process a little confusing. I did a general search and came up with some interesting prospects but as of now, I have no way of knowing whether the training/placement schools I’ve found are reputable. How do I make sure the sponsor program I choose is on the level?
