Tutoring English?

To be allowed to teach in Malta your husband would need to apply to the Ministry of Education. The options are state schools/private/international schools or teaching English to foreign students (TEFL or CELTA/DELTA qualification.

State-run schools would most certainly require the Maltese language, in private schools you might get away without if you have interesting combinations that include science or other foreign languages.I don't think just English would get you that far.

Teaching at home would mean having the qualifications and recruiting your own students from somewhere. Many Maltese teachers earn extra money giving private lessons to students from their school. It could be difficult for an outsider.

Your husband should check out what he needs to become a teacher in Malta.

There are also a gizillion English language schools in Malta and a hefty supply of students.

You will need at least a TEFL and in order to get your licence to teach you will also need a TELT, (unless you have an English A level acquired a few years ago (sorry, I can´t remember the cut off date)).

If you contact English Domain in Mosta they should be able to give you clearer and more up to date rules and regulations.

Hope that helps.

That's one more English language school that I hadn't heard of yet -))).  As can be seen most schools also offer courses to train future teachers but don't like teachers giving their students private lessons at home unless they are promoted through the school.

The hefty supply of foreign language students seems to be dwindling at the moment. Let's hope it is only due to the winter months and not a sign of worse to come. It is usually quite easy to get a teaching job during the summer (with the right certificate).

So the tip would be to teach at an English language school first and then see if it is possible to generate private students.
