Twice a week we publish problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Saturday Guardian so that readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy’s own insights. Here is the latest dilemma – what are your thoughts?
My brother has been a Tefl teacher for over a decade and is now the head of a Tefl school for adults in Australia. He is also an accomplished musician. After a recent trip back home with his wife and children they’ve decided to come back to the UK for a year or two – potentially longer. It is all rather dependent on employment, of course. That would probably be the first factor before location.
My brother is a dedicated and passionate teacher. I feel teachers as a whole in this country are not valued (I say this as a teacher myself) so I’d be interested in your view and those of Tefl teachers here. Also, are there any areas in the UK with a particular need for Tefl teachers?
Do you need advice on a work issue? For Jeremy’s and readers’ help, send a brief email to dear.jeremy@theguardian.com. Please note that he is unable to answer questions of a legal nature or to reply personally.
