Online Schools and Teaching French
I recently contacted an online learning school about a posting for a French teacher. I was so enthused, I referenced my educational background, and my knowledge of technology, and the love I have for both.
Since I saw myself as a good candidate, and wrote an energetic ‘cover letter’ describing my creativity and other desirable qualities, I thought they would get right back to me and set something up.
I waited a week, two weeks. I even called to check up and they said they had received a lot of interest and hadn’t yet begun to look it over. Eventually, I emailed again and politely mentioned my previous email and phone call.
They did eventually get back to me, and although they said I sounded like a great candidate and it seemed genuine, there was the issue of certification.
Everyone is looking for a certified teacher. I will be one soon enough. They told me to contact them when I had my certification.
By the time I get certified, though, I’ll be looking for full-time teaching jobs in physical schools.
I guess it’s always something to consider for the future.
