78. Stuck in low-wage English teaching? Time to start your own school

from The Free Talk Staffroom · host Patrick Sherriff

Find yourself still getting entry-level pay but you’ve been in the teaching game for years? One solution might be starting your own school. Yeah, there are pitfalls, but there are also great opportunities. Speaking of opportunities… fancy popping out to a South African cafe bar and looking at some oil paintings? (That’s what I do when I’m not teaching). My show is on until the end of the month at Sun Beam terrace in Mabashi, on the eastern edge of Tokyo. It would be lovely to see you if you can make it.
