first option

Here is my situation: I would like to get back to work part-time as an English or French teacher. I have two small children and a husband who works full-time. I used to work as a high school teacher in Stans but there is too much additional work involved as a teacher at this level. the extra-curricular activities are an interesting part of teaching as are the ped days but they require too much extra involvement at the moment considering the family situation. I would like to explore the different options available: business English, EAP, tutoring, online teaching...

Let's start with business English. I have never taught any business English. I would be happy to hear from someone who has done this type of teaching. What kind of diploma is needed? Who teaches Business English?...

  1. If you have taught adults then the only tip I have for business English is simply to read a little about their industry/profession.

    Apart from the expected vocabulary differences, that would also exist if your students were very involved in golf, fishing, or any other activity - teaching Business English differs little from General English.

    You might not encounter the same conditions as you experienced in the high school ( I am assuming this was a state position).

    Good luck with the changes!
