Hello, I'm new to the forum and I would really appreciate your help. I have been living and teaching English in Thailand for the past three years. I took a TEFL course when I arrived in Bangkok, and since then, I've been teaching at kinder to grade 8 levels.
I'm interested in teaching students at higher levels (TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC), and I realize I need to upgrade my knowledge of the rules of English, as well as how to effectively teach it.
I don't wish to become a qualified teacher, I just want to tutor/teach foreigners English, in preparation for the aforementioned exams.
I have a technical diploma (5 year diploma), but I don't have an academic degree.
In your opinion, based on my experience and education, will a CELTA help me to get to that next level I'd like to teach?
Thanks for your help.
