Hi! My husband and I will possibly be moving to Budapest for a year with my work (at least initially). He is a certified teacher in Canada.
We were hoping he could teach there, but after looking into it it doesn't seem to make financial sense to bother. Even as a qualified teacher he would need to get TEFL certificate which is about $1000, and if he goes through the CETP organization pay $2500 program fee, ....to earn $500 a month?! It seems really complicated if he did it on his own through contacting private schools, because from what I have read they want you to be an independent contractor and I don't even know how that works. We definitely do not want to do anything under the table either it would need to be 100% legit.
So that brings me to this point... we don't really need the money with my salary, but he would still want to keep busy and also just have a way to meet people and get a better experience.
Are there any volunteer organizations that could use english speaking teachers? Or just other organizations in general that you would recommend?
Also just want to say I have read lots of posts about many topics and this forum is a great resource. Thanks!
