About Me

Hi! I'm planning a career break after 15 years working in the television production industry, and have just signed up for the 120-hour combined TEFL/TESOL course.
I've spent a lot of time in Africa and would love to teach there, but Central and South America also appeal. I've got an open mind at this stage and hope that being part of the TEFL community here will inform and inspire my future choices...

First TEFL job interview!

Hi All, So after sending out my newly-revamped CV to a number of language schools in Italy and Spain, I've just been invited to have my first ever interview by phone with the Director of Studies of a school based in Naples! Due to the time difference between Italy and Australia, it was a little tricky organising a mutually-agreeable time, but 7pm tomorrow night has been settled on and I'm now in the throes of prepping...

Teaching in Italy or Spain

Hi All, Well after doing my 120-hour TEFL course last April, I finally quit my "day job" in December to pursue the career break I've been talking about for so long! I've had to abandon my original idea of teaching English in Africa, as there don't seem to be any paid jobs there and sadly I can't afford to just volunteer, I need a salaried posting. So I'm now thinking...Italy! Or maybe Spain. And soon...
