Where in the UK
|
|
| Out of London is probably best. The areas 50 miles north of London are good for overseas teachers - Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire etc - I've taught in both and much prefer it. |
|
| Why not try the midlands, its right in the middle of the country and gives you quick access to everywhere!! |

Major-T,
How did you find the students? I have not ruled out that area for next year-what about things to do and cost of living? Also, did you find a position with the aid of a recruiting company?

| Hi Ahann - The students were fine. Some of them take a little while to get used to the fact that you are not British but for most it's a bonus. I really enjoyed it and it has given me new experiences in teaching which is what I came over to get. There is plenty to do in both the places I was in in Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire. The UK is pretty densely populated so you don't tend to get places that are really isolated. Once you get out of London the cost of living goes down pretty dramatically so for me it was not that expensive to live. I've got all my teaching posts through an agency - it makes sense if you're coming in from overseas as it doesn't cost you anything and they can really help. Hope that's useful |

Major-T,
Thanks for the info. I am coming from a very small place in Canada and am not used to the uk version of rural! I have been in contact with Timeplan agency-ever heard of them? Who did you go through? I have heard some rough things about the quality of jobs that agencies provide and that they take a cut of your pay..true? They offered me 120 pounds a day-is this good? thanks |
