About Language & Culture Coaching
Our Team | FAQMessage from our Chairman
It’s natural to have concerns about teaching and breaking into the ESL job market for the first time. I felt these 20 years ago, when I first started. Yet I found that it was much easier to teach well and find ESL jobs than I originally thought.
Over the years I have gone from one exciting teaching opportunity to another, across three continents, and found work in good schools within days.
I’m not alone in this; everyone on our training team has had similar experiences.
Genuinely caring for the well being and progress of students, from a confident and empowered mindset, is the hallmark of a great teacher. Ironically, not being overly concerned about what students think of you as a teacher, and rather, focusing your mind on being able to deliver great lessons is the key to success.
The ESL job market is one of the few that you can break into without having had any previous experience. Trends such as globalization and business restructuring have had a major impact on the demand for English teaching. The number of language schools and teaching positions in them has grown considerably, leaving school owners clamoring to find good teachers. There has never been a better time to enter the ESL job market.
Being a self-assured ESL teacher in a thriving job market is a ‘ticket’ to explore the world while earning a good income in a job that genuinely benefits others lives.
