I’m an Italian, but I speak English pretty fluently, to the point where I was mistaken for British from English-speaking people…
My mom’s friends are English, and they’ve spoken to me in English since I was a toddler, making me pretty much bilingual. I have a C2 certificate, and previous teaching experience (although in different fields). I was thinking of applying to be an English teacher (yes I am aware I’d be wasting my Master’s degree and that English teacher in Japan make a horrible salary), I love working with kids. However, most positions require your education to have been conducted in English for 12 years, which, having grown up in Italy, is a requirement I cannot fulfill. Does anyone know of any similar programs that do not require this? I was also thinking of getting TEFL if necessary. I would also be ok with working in English language schools that are private or something like that…
