Hi there! I've been doing lots of research, and have found that it's tough for well-qualified Asians to teach English - be it in Japan or Thailand. I've not found info about Burma though.

To put things into context, I'm Singaporean Chinese with a Bachelor's degree, and will be taking the CELTA.

Any tips on how employers in Burma will regard me?

Thanks in advance!

They usually prefer the native English speakers. Schools over there have huge competitions. Better try while you are still in Singapore. Good luck.

Hi,

You should have no problem if your English accent is clear.
In fact I am hunting for for English and Maths teachers for a school in Mandalay.
