    Hi,

    I'm a Economics Hons Graduate with distance MBA in International Business.
    I have been working in the banking sector in customer operations for the past 4 years.
    I want to make a switch to teaching and am particularly interested in English school teaching.
    What kind of additional qualifications would I need?

    Thanks for your response in advance.
    Mahi

    mahi,

    a BEd is a must to start with.

    check the university sites for the eligibilities.

    it's good to hear that you are preparing yourself well.

    in reality in some schools & colleges the english is so bad that you may feel that there is no expertise required to become a teacher of any subject except the requisite academic certificates.

    it doesn't mean that i am too good in english.

    best of luck.

    Hi Mahima
    You need to have a B.Ed (Bachelor in Education) Degree to applying for teaching post. In addition you should have a Bachelor's / Master's Degree in the concerned subject - the subject you wish to teach.
    As you want to become an English teacher you can do M.A in English thru distance education.
