down on his luck, needs teaching work.

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

down on his luck, needs teaching work.

Post by Mitch »

Sorry if this is not in the correct forum
There an old Aussie mate of mine (no not me before some bright spark asks), down on his luck, ( got robbed etc), he's in Phnom Penh now. No money, hes got somewhere to stay now.
I suggested he get suited and booted and look for some teaching work. He has an old TEFL but no degree etc.
Anyone suggest a school he can try that aint too fussy and wont ask him any questions? I'll pass it on. Hes a decent lad and I taught with him way back In Thailand (when anyone could get a job teaching).
I let him 20 quid and like to get it back one day.....LOL
It doesnt matter how much an hour. I dont know PP School scene so cant suggest anywhere
Thanks

Lend him $200 to fuck off home. He will be able to recoup that from social security, pretty quickly, and as he's an old mate of yours, I'm sure you'll have it back very soon

I don't know if there are any schools that 'wont ask him any questions'.

However, he could try BELTEI, ELT and PUC.

I think that BELTEI ask their applicants to do some kind of written submission, like a lesson plan, and they might charge a deposit on the text books he'll need for his classes.

I think PUC could ask him to give a demo lesson in the interview- if he gets that far. ELT may do something similar.

He could also try Home of English, but I think you need to be on the sex offenders' register to make it to the interview stage.

Buy your friend an airline ticket. He will appreciate it.

What questions do you not want them to ask during his interview?

1. "Are you a native English speaker?"
2. "Have you ever taught before?"
3. "Why aren't you wearing any shoes?"
