TESOL Certification Course in Alexandria Egypt

Finding a teaching job in Egypt is a bit more difficult now than in the past. Nowadays the English teaching posts that were previously filled by native speakers get filled by indigenous fluent speakers of Arabic and English.
Adult students want to know enough English to understand business and acquire computer skills, Americans who want to teach in Egypt will do better if they are specialized in one of these two fields rather than in general language skills. Business English is preferred by many.

Teaching jobs:
Cairo American College being a totally American school prefers TEFL/TESOL qualified teachers and teachers are paid on an American salary scale.

The Center for Adult and Continuing Education (CACE) of the American Univ. in Cairo hires a limited number of teachers to teach English as a second language. Only teachers with long experience or an internationally recognized certificate in teaching English to adults are hired.
The internationally famous Berlitz School of Languages usually hires full-timers, trains them in their methodology, and pays well.

Amideast, promotes intercultural understanding between the U.S. and countries of the Middle East. It hires only very qualified teachers.

The British Council, www.britishcouncil.org.eg, another intercultural organization, favors British English speakers and insists on British certification.

Numerous nursery schools around Cairo are looking for native speakers to work with preschool children. A love of children is more important than certification.

Tutoring Egyptian language school students is another possibility; only entertain those that come highly recommended. It is not a safe prospect.
