Hi all, yesterday I became a CELTA certified teacher and I'm

Have you considered Vietnam instead of Thailand? Wages are basically double with similar (if not a little cheaper in Vietnam) cost of living. Most people I know teaching in Thailand work their ass off and can barely afford to travel in their holidays. I think it's different if you have experience and get a better job but for a noob I think Vietnam is the way to go. In Vietnam it's not uncommon for people working in Hanoi or Saigon to be able to save between 500-1000USD per month while living a super comfy lifestyle and with a CELTA you would literally find a job in those cities within an hour of getting of the plane if you wanted. Lmk if you have any more questions

Props for actually getting a CELTA OP

I've met plenty of ESL teachers are scum who don't have any passion for teaching, they don't have any qualifications whatsoever and coast along in Asia. Hearing stories about when they are screaming AT the children to shut up makes me want to deck them in the face. They have no classroom management skills and put no effort into improving their skills as a teacher.

Good luck and god speed OP.
>>1274996 is right about Vietnam

He didn't mention "easy anywhere in his post anon, do you have trouble reading?
But once you know your students and get a routine it does get easy for the most part.
A celta is a step in ESL that a large % of people doing those gigs don't acquire. So he's miles ahead of them in terms of preparation and expectations.

Lel, this is me. I couldn't care less about the kids I taught. Most of the time I just fucked around on my phone, and slept with all the other teachers.

Good times.

Based godly trips says this man is the king himself

This is the only reason I regret I'm not anglo

Living and working abroad and getting paid just to teach your dumb language to a bunch of kids, you guys really have it so easy. Meanwhile, no one wants to learn hungarian :'(

My boss fired a dude like you for playing Pokémon Go while teaching. He was an insufferable bald cunt too, was checking his phone all the time. He lost his contract bonus and return flight home. Later he did the same thing at his next job and got fined a few hundred bucks for not reporting his job switch to the government. Glutton for punishment I guess. He was coasting along ESL for 4 years, hopping from contract to contract and didn't speak the language at all. I always wonder about those losers.

Take note OP, if you're teaching in a place where behavior like this is tolerated >>1275777 it's probably a stressful and shitty gig. Do your research, find a respectable school, ask to interview with current employees and the person you're replacing, why they're quitting, etc.
