Japan or bust!
The costs of setting yourself up as a teacher

A little piece of advice
Starting your teaching career in Bangkok
Whatever you do, don’t start an ESL career in Thailand. Why? I’ll tell you. Unless, you come over on a substantial mattress of financial support you will be behind from the get-go and spend your whole time here figuring out how to make ends meet.

Bitchin, fussing and cussing

Complaints from language school teachers. You've heard 'em all before I'm sure.
