Jebbie asked: When I was in China I was impressed with how enthusiastic young people seem to be to learn English…On the list of academic priorities, where would Chinese students place learning how to speak and write in English? Is this ability required for university entrance exams and/or to get a good job? And I see lots of info on private schools for English in China, do students feel such extra tutoring is necessary?

one_of_a_kind asked: I love tutoring but I am looking for a career now in English as a Second Language. What online schools or schools in Southern California offer this program? Would I need to get a master’s degree or simply a certificate? Are these jobs in demand? Thanks!

mikayla asked: I’ve been asked by someone I work with to help them prepare for a verbal exam on medicine. My native language is English, and I have quite a firm grasp on grammar and pronunciation. However I did not major in English in college, and the only teaching experience I have has to do with volunteering in high school. I have never tutored before, and don’t feel comfortable assigning a rate, but the coworker has insisted.
Any suggestions?

Jes21 asked: I need to know if this is good enough to teach ESL in Korea.
I have a BS degree in Public Policy
I have TESOL
I have one year of experience teaching ESL
I have two years of tutoring experience in math, science, reading, and history
Is this good enough? Do I need to do more?
It is true. I do not have experience with young children. Maybe I should find a job with children before I leave?

Fumiko S asked:
I tutored an ESL student last year, and plan to continue this year. Can ESL tutoring be considered community service?
