Need advice for teaching in Austin, Texas!

[pesci 0]

Hello everyone.

I'm from Macedonia, Europe and finished college 3 years ago to be an Italian teacher. I've got my degree evaluated and according to U.S equivalence is: Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Italian Language and Literature wit GA 3.46.

Planing to move in Austin, TX permanently.

I'm almost 80% sure that I won't be able to find a job as an Italian teacher (Italian Language is not so popular in the US schools) so my second option is teaching Spanish ( i know to speak a little bit, and I'm willing to take the core subjects test ) but the PROBLEM is that I'm not quite sure that I'll get a jobs as a Spanish teacher cause there are many native speakers living in TX.

So if anyone knows how big are my chance to get as job as Spanish teacher in Austin, please let me know.If is not Spanish, please suggest me another subject to teach (lack of ...... teachers), where the chances to get the jobs are good, because all I care is to teach!

Any opinion matters....

Thank you so much in advance.

big? 11 percent,

as

you have to be certified

and

you not write of the certification process

so I think you not study about it, yet.

Study !

You'll love Austin, it's so relaxed, friendly and open-minded. All the water and hot weather is definitely a big plus.

Below is a link to how to get a teacher certification in Texas. It shows how to do it with an out-of-country certification too:

I think I'll like Austin. You're not the first one to say nice words for Austin.

Austin is beautiful and full of opportunity. Good to have plans but when you get there see what is available. You are right there are a lot of native Spanish speakers there although not so many as in San Antonio and other locals near the border. I envy you right now. San Marcos is beautiful if you love the outdoors.

As a side-note I am a native Texan who has been displaced by circumstances but Texas will always be "home".

Concentrate on STEM subjects.

See private message as many community college have ways for you to teach night classes and not have certification. I am a

physical therapist and teach Seniors at night (not certified to teach in this state). I teach self defense and self

preservation classes.
