Anyone studied the TESOL or ESOL certificate to teach English as a second language? How was finding jobs. I am specifically looking at Shanghai. Do you need an English degree? ( I have a degree but not in English).

When I first came to Japan I worked for GEOS one of the eikaiwa (conversation) chain of schools in the country. It was a good way to start as I had student loans to pay and I was able to apply for the job and confirm my position before I left the UK.

Since then I've worked with children in international settings (I'm actually a qualified primary school teacher) and have now moved to the field of corporate training, particularly the area of cross cultural issues.

The situation in Japan is definitely getting harder with the more generic conversation jobs paying less than they used to and companies like Interac taking over many of the school contracts, again resulting in lower pay.

There are still opportunities but it's better to do your homework first and make sure you'll be earning enough money to cover all your outgoings.

Hey guys,

Although I'm not a native speaker, I have already taught English for a few weeks here in Kobe, Japan. Right now I help some Japanese students with conversation skills.

However, I mostly teach Portuguese here. (Sounds weird, but there's some demand from local governments due to a large amount of Brazilians who work here and can't communicate in Japanese.)

Nova, the largest ESL school in Japan, has filed bankrupcy a few months ago and a lot of expats were facing difficulties here. Not to mention the salaries that didn't get paid. It wasn't pretty!

Oh, and BTW, I prefer private classes a lot more than ordinary classes. I think I make a better use of my time like that. How about you guys, any impressions?

Cheers,
Diogo
