50-HOUR ON-LINE SPECIALIZATION TEACH BUSINESS ENGLISH
Four years ago, we welcomed a New York attorney in our TEFL certification program. The man told us that he was tired of courts and people who fight.
He wanted to do something different in life. Two weeks after graduation, he was hired by a prestigious New York language school.
They sent him to international corporations in the City where he taught Law English to foreign attorneys. His starting salary at that time was $55 per hour. Today it’s probably between $65 and $75 per hour.
