Dear Friends

I have just completed my CELTA with a Pass B from British Council, India. I have no teaching experience and would love on learn on the job. However all vacancies posted ask only for native English speakers. My English is fluent considering I passed the CELTA and went to a convent school. Can anyone please help me with how can Indians speaking fluent English like natives get a job somewhere in any part of the world besides India.

Thank you.

Sweta.

    Hello Sweta:

    Welcome to the forum! We accept teachers from all around the world, including native and non-native speakers. When you are applying to the positions you are interested in, make sure to pay close attention to the minimum requirements. If you are looking to increase your chances of getting hired, I would recommend you to do some research and find out what the best locations are for you to apply to, keeping in mind work visa restrictions if there are any (you can consult the country's consulate/embassy to find out more about work visa requirements)

    Good luck with your applications
    Best,
    Shirin
