Teaching ESL overseas - Fact, Fiction and Common Sense

Have you considered teaching English overseas after graduation? Bewildered by the plethora of ESL job choices? Unsure of whether to apply with a non-profit, government institution, school or recruiter? Not able to tell which program is legit and which isn't? Know before you go—attend a free webinar with Reed graduate Ben Glickman to learn more about this potentially rewarding and often confusing career path. Ben has 15 years experience in the ESL industry—5 as a classroom teacher in South Korea and Brazil and 10 as an ESL teacher recruiter.

Last year Ben founded ESL101: https://www.esl101.com/, a website featuring jobs and information for the ESL community.  This short and informative webinar will focus on three stages of working overseas: before, during and after. Ben will cover topics including how to pick a reputable program, how to make the most of your time overseas and transitioning back to life in your home country. This will be followed by a question and answer period. Before you mail your passport to that NGO in Peru, you might want to attend this webinar.
