Finding a job teaching English to kids online should not be too difficult. Teaching English online is an emerging market. It's growing and it's new. There are a lot of opportunities out there for finding a job.

Children are the students that dominate the market so it shouldn't be so hard compared to finding a job teaching adults.

So how do you do it?

Here are 3 simple steps. 

1. Are you qualified?

HoDdeok (꿀호떡) is a popular street food in Korea that’s cheap and tasty.

When is the optimum time to take a TEFL course? That is the question that will be covered mostly in this article, but I will also answer some related questions such as when you can get/start a TEFL job.

Now "when" in regards to taking TEFL/TESOL/CELTA courses...

Do TEFL certificates expire?

Well, they don't usually expire. Certificates are like any other certificate or diploma - they last indefinitely. However, if you take a course far from the time you actually teach then you are unlikely to remember anything from it.

So when is the best time to take a course?

As far as the certificate goes after you complete it you can put it on your resume. But for the training and your memory I'd say it's best to take one right when you start.

Before you start is good which is common, but you won't have much context.

No context?

*80/20 Pareto Principle – The 20% you should learn that will give you 80% of the results.

This is a local re-post of an essay I just wrote for The National Interest. My argument is basically that the North Korea will not give up its nuclear weapons unless it gets something very large and very tangible in return. This strikes me as common sense. Nuclear weapons are really valuable to any state, and given how much North Korea is loathed around the world, nukes are even more valuable for its elites to hold regime-change at bay.
