Teaching jobs in HH

Post by **Gab76** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 12:11 pm

Hey guys

I could potentially be offered a job in HH in one of the new hotels and my wife will probably try to teach English while we are there so she dosnt get bored.

We are living in Shanghai where she is teaching English and it was quite easy for her to find a job, so I was wondering....are there heaps of teaching jobs in this town?

Thanks for your help

Gab

Wouldn't say there's "heaps" but if she's properly qualified(degree+CELTA/TEFL/DELTA) then should be able to find one. Don't know if the teaching jobs will match up with her expectations and I've heard a lot of teachers are worked fairly hard at some places.

Probably be fine though but really you'll have to wait till VS or one of the others that has more direct experience than me of teaching in HH sees this thread. Won't be too long, I'm sure.

EDIT: By the way, welcome to the forum!

I suggest that she contacts Yamsa-ard or Somtawin schools.
They're, invariably, in need of help!!

Begs the question, why?

Gab,

Female teachers are much more in demand here than male teachers (sorry lads

). There aren't as many of us in the LOS, so we have a kind of rarity value.

Many of the schools don't advertise, or advertise in the wrong places, so I'd suggest that you visit the schools and Rajabhats looking smart, with a copy of your CV. I know that the school on the Palu U Road runs an English Programme. Quite a nice job, if you don't mind teaching teenagers, as the classes are usually quite small.

When are you coming here? Between now and the end of May is by far the best time for job-hunting (the new terms start at the beginning of June).

Good luck,
VS

Thanks Vital Spark
If we come, then it'll be before May so looks like it might work in my wife's favour!

Thanks again

Im also hoping to make the move next Jan to HH.

looking to secure a Teaching job.

Somtawin and Yamsaard appear most popular!

Does anyone have any experiences of these schools?

Any other schools that we can try?

Cheers
