Hi there Dave and everybody else.
I'm just finishing my CELTA (Cambridge certificate in English language teaching of adults) in London and I wanted to move over to the States to be with my girlfriend. I wanted to do some part-time teaching over there in a language school to pay my way, but I've read how work is hard to find in the USA if you don't have a MA TESOL, lots of experience or even residency (green card).
Does anybody know what my chances are of finding a language school to sponsor my visa application if I do look for work, especially in somewhere like California? (Any other cities that I should look at?)
Would my chances improve if I said that I have a BA Hons and MA Pharmacology degree from the University of Cambridge, England and I used to study medicine? Would that help towards "English for a specific Purpose" teaching? Or would it be worthwhile doing another certificate as well?
Thanks for any help you can give me,
Kenny.
