Teaching English as work experience?

Dear wwallace1:

Schools are looking for candidates to have 2-3 years of professional work experience prior to applying to their programs. This means work experience on a professional level after you have received your bachelor's degree. So, if you taught English in Seoul after graduating from college, then you have met the 2-3 year experience requirement.

Regards,
Lisa

Dear wwallace1:

You need to think in terms of transferable skills, not titles and companies. As an instructor, you must have developed and strengthened your communication skills, interpersonal skills, and presentation skills. Likewise, think about what is involved to effectively manage your classroom--I bet there are problems you solve, creativity you employ, and lessons you plan. Try to think in these terms when writing about your experience, both on your resume and in your essays.

Good luck,
Lisa
