Hi all.
I just joined up, and I'm an
alco ESL teacher.
I've only been doing it for the last 3 years, all of it here in China.
I'm CELTA trained, and have a M.App.Ling., and about to enrol into a M.Ed.(TESOL), to then go onto Ed.D. - all through Australian universities (cos, you know, I'm an Aussie
)
I don't post a hell of a lot, and my usual MO has been to get on a board, post frantically, and then disappear after a few weeks :p
Although 40(-ish), I'm still single, which makes things really easy when it comes to deciding where to live and all.
I've been "between jobs" for the last few months (cos I'm picky!!!), but it's not surprising when I get agents saying "we've got this really high paying job for you - 6000-7000RMB"... yeah, if I wanted that, I'd move to Xinjiang or Jiangxi again!!! I only teach uni-level students, usually EAP, business or IT.. and unfortunately, usually to the students who have failed, sucked at, the GaoKao
However, I'm expecting to get a contract for a UK/US/Chinese joint venture
(and, to become an IELTS examiner as well...)
Nice to meet you. (yes, I'm fine thank you, and you?)
