Hello!
I am a native English speaker, who also is fluent in Spanish. My goal is to be able to teach English here as a ESL teacher to the local community. I haven't done any collage, since I decided to travel instead. In order to reach my goal I am thinking of getting a Associates in English Online and a TEFL Certificate, then taking a job or 2 out of the US in order to gain more experience. I am also going to take a test so that I can start gaining experience as a teachers assistant while I am in Collage. So, my question to you is, Will all that be enough? Or do I need a BA? What do you suggest I do in order to have a fighting chance in this growing field?
