Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could please help/give advice about working as a teacher of English in the Dominican Republic (North.)
Generally speaking, do you have to be qualified to teach English to foreign students and will having a reputable qualification increase my chances of getting a better paid job?
I am a 23 year old female from the UK and have recently returned back from a 5 week stay in Sosua after learning Spanish at a language school and doing some volunteer work with children in a school supported by a local charity. It was my second time to the country and I didn't want to leave!
I would really love to live and work in the DR for a while, while I am young and still able to without too many commitments!
I am considering taking a CELTA course here in the UK to teach English as a foreign language which is part of the University of Cambridge and is a very reputable qualification but wasn't sure if this is neccessay or not for a job in the DR?
I have already been in contact with a few schools and I am awaiting their replies but thought I would put the question out here if anyone had any information or suggestions.
I would really appreciate any feedback.
Thanks in advance.
