Subject: CELTA certification
Author: liseechka

I am a native English speaker and would like to teach English in Moscow - I'm looking specifically at the BKC school.
I have some experience teaching, but none teaching English as a foreign language though I have tutored some ESL students. I have BSc in Computer Science and I am looking into taking the CELTA class with BKC in the summer or fall.
With this background, what is my best bet for finding a job? What is the English teacher market like in Moscow at this time? Is it best to talk with many different schools before getting certified, wait until certified to approach schools, or some other scenario? Is this a good time to be applying or is it better to wait until winter/spring/summer/fall?
I would hate to invest $1700 in the course just to return home when finished. And speaking of the course... I see that BKC's class has a limit of 12 students. Does this make it very difficult to get into? Is there anyway to make myself more attractive?
Thank you,
-D
