Selecting a good ESL school to teach English
 

Having Problems Selecting a Good ESL School Employer?

Don't feel frustrated in your search. Take direct action. That helps to push frustration aside.

Ask to see a copy of the language school's labor contract. Do some research. Look for things of concern that are missing in the contract. Type in ESL EFL labor contracts into Google to see some other contracts. Contact and get labor contracts from at least 7 or 8 other employers. Make more comparisons. If any of them won\´t give their contract before you send them your diploma, etc. DO NOT USE THAT recruiter or school. Move on.

Ask to talk to the teachers working at the school. Get their email addresses so they can email you privately. Often, teachers on the phone from the hakwon, have the school director or recruiter nearby listening. No positive report about the school, no end of contract release letter. Therefore, get the teachers\´ home telephone number so you can call them during their off hours.

Then check the the ESL EFL Greylists and the Blacklists. Lots of information there.

See if your embassy or consulate has any labor/employment warnings about teaching in the country you are intending to go to. Some have websites with information. Other you will have to write a letter.

You have to work and do your research before you commit to an employer. And yes, it is frustrating at times. Remember, if you can get yourself hooked up with a great recruiter and school, you will have the time of your life.Anonyms
