As far as Italy is concerned, if you want to teach in a public school, you need to hold at least a Master's Degree in pedagogical studies and/or educational sciences. No matter how good an English speaker you are, you are required to own those specific degrees.

In addition to that, if you have no experience whatsoever in teaching in front of a class, you are basically...  [Read more]

Jon ITTT Alumni Experiences My teaching experience started back in 1988 where I was working for a company called Bryco Windows. They are a UPVC window and door manufacturer where my position was Sales Trainer. My job was to teach new staff and train them to understand the sales process and how to close the sale.

Linda Dunsmore Visa and Legal In June 2016 the UK voted to leave the European Union and the “British exit” has since be referred to as “Brexit”.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Japan is well known for its unique culture, and history. As an island nation, it was isolated from the rest of the world until the mid-19th century when the country had to open itself to trade with western powers of the time.

Today in modern Japan, English is widely spread throughout the country, and...  [Read more]
