When applying for an English teaching job, there are pitfalls to look out for. Make sure
you know exactly what the employment hours mean. Many will advertise that you need to
work only 20 hours a week, but that probably means face-to-face time and doesn't include
the many hours of preparation. Many private schools have sketchy practices, so always try
to investigate the company you're looking at working for in advance. Ask for the school's
credentials and request to be put in touch with other teachers. If you're still unsure, post a
question on sites such as

make sure the person who responds is a foreign teacher rather than an agent.
