Thread: Teaching adults

Hi all,

I've been teaching science classes in high schools for the past few years, so I am a little out of touch with the ESL market in Bangkok. I am starting a MA program this month and I want to find a part-time position teaching ESL to adults. I think that continuing with a full-time job would just be too much of a demand on my schedule.

I am wanting to take a break from teaching kids. I would like to work for a language center if possible. Are there any places in Bangkok that primarily teach adult learners? I have worked at Berlitz but I seemed to always get the kids classes. I have a TEFL and I have been teaching for more than 9 years.

Thanks for any suggestions.

might be your teaching style

With adults you can't really write a curriculum or stick to a syllabus. Every adult will be at a different level everyone will have different reasons and interests in learning.

So the key is to reallt get to know your students.

and go from there

Good luck :-)

Actually I am very familiar with interchange. Wouldn't mind it at all if I could find a position that uses it.

Basically I was really kind of hoping to get a few leads as to where to apply for adult ESL teaching positions. I thought that Wall Street only dealt with adult students. Is that correct? Are there other places that are similar?

Hi there

What are the chances of actually getting a job at AUA provided you have the credentials?

Also what are Wall St like?

Thanks alot

Good, if they're still in business.

Should you get paid more if you teach english and maths and science?
