Hey guys, I'm entertaining the thought of moving to Switzerland for anywhere from 3 - 6 months. I really don't know much about living there then some info from friends and stuff I've found online.

I'm 28 and am looking to move sometime around January (after I graduate school). I was looking to possibly teach English as a second language, or maybe au pair, but I am open for suggestions/recommendation as well.

So...any info or help from you guys on the matter would be great.

Thanks alot

Do you have language teaching qualifications? It's an important consideration. Good luck!

Welcome Shrimp !

You'll find a lot of information here so have a good look and then, if you can't find what you need, post a question. I'm sure the members will be pleased to help you but do please search first.

I don't yet, Argus, but I will be a certified teacher in December, and have access to the language teaching courses at my school. I will look into taking them

thanks.

Are there any agencies, or companies I can look into that could steer me in the right direction?

to the top

You will need a CELTA certificate to teach English to adults. I don't want to dent your enthusiasm but I suspect you will find the competition with EU TEFL teachers a bit tough.

yeah there have been alot of things denting my enthusiasm, what other options are there?

If you have a teaching qualification - maybe an International school?

I will have an elementary and special ed degree, I dont know if they will be enough to teach at an international school...I will look into it though.

Thank you

okay so the international schools i contacted were looking for bilingual teachers...sorry to keep bumping this but any other suggestions?
