When you visit the school to inquire about positions, dress professionally and present yourself as a serious teacher. Brush up on your grammar as some schools will want you to complete a test of grammar and writing skills. If you have an interview, be talkative and ready to answer any questions about your teaching methods. Give the school confidence in your ability as a teacher. If you fail to find work on your first visit, don't give up.
Persistence is a key to getting a job at a top school.
These schools' standards about teaching vary greatly. Some require you to prepare an hour in advance. Others are only concerned that you show up on time and have no expectations regarding preparation. Most are eager to hire. For a long list of schools in the major cities, consult the list of schools .
