I worry a bit about some of those. Teaching English to furriners
(TESOL) is a specialised business and can be heavy duty for the
untrained and ill-prepared. I've heard horror stories of clueless
recent graduates stuffed into classes of 50-60 in Asia with no
support, very long hours, massive workloads, etc. If they are
prepared to accept uncertificated, untrained 'teachers', then beware.
