Re: Online TEFL first, CELTA later?
But actually teaching to large classes of kids? Some love it, some hate it. A 'real' school should not have large classes. My KG and lower primary grades vary between 5 - 17 children. My secondary English and Science between 8 - 17 students. The most kids I've taught in one class at a 'poor' school...

Re: Online TEFL first, CELTA later?
If ACE operates the same way as their Vietnamese schools, then it's a fixed pay scale based on years of experience post qualification. Thanks. Makes logical sense to me. I can't imagine getting much more working at ACE even if I do incredibly well at their CELTA course until I have some experience....

Re: Online TEFL first, CELTA later?
My advice is to do a cheapie TEFL, land a low-paying job in Cambodia, and then see if you actually like teaching. You might find you hate it, and paying initially to study/obtain a CELTA could turn out to be a waste of money if you decide teaching is not for you. and wanted to teach more than just ...

Re: Online TEFL first, CELTA later?
Thanks for that really important info! I think I'll leave CELTA alone until I get some experience and see if I like teaching first.erictheking wrote:If you impress on your CELTA, despite having no previous experience, ACE will take you on. It has to be an A or a very strong B though.

Re: Online TEFL first, CELTA later?
There are plenty of threads and comments about ACE and nothing much has changed apart from worsening conditions. Also, there will be less classes for native speakers in the future as local teachers will be teaching more and more levels. Yes, they hire noobs fresh of the CELTA because experienced, q...

Re: Online TEFL first, CELTA later?
I wouldn't mess around with online garbage, mate. I'd do a proper CELTA. Good luck! Thanks for reply springrain. Can I ask for some extra info from you? I understand CELTA is far more valuable for a career in teaching globally (and better for my own learning), but since I am wanting to have a go in...
