2. Requirements to become a good English teacher
Degrees, certificates, and professional knowledge
The first requirement to become an English teacher is that you must graduate from a university with a major in English pedagogy. In particular, certificates such as TOEIC, TESOL, and IELTS are increasingly becoming an essential requirement for the English teaching job. These international certificates are favored by centers and schools and are a measure of teachers' language ability. Having an IELTS of 7.0 or 8.0 will be a great support for your teaching.
Work experience
Some English teacher recruitment units do not require candidates to have work experience but just go through the internship process. However, having 1-2 years of work experience in a relevant position will be an advantage for you to catch a recruiter's eye and arm yourself with career preparation carefully.
Pedagogical skills
Teaching is a peculiar job that requires many skills. Thus, English teachers need to arm themselves with many skills, especially pedagogical skills. Students not only come to school to learn professional knowledge but also want to be in a professional and dynamic environment.
Therefore, an excellent English teacher must have good pedagogical skills and ability to adapt to many different circumstances. Only when you have the knowledge, pedagogical skills, and appropriate application of skills are you a genuine teacher.
Professional English teachers not only use their seriousness to educate children but also apply pedagogical skills to guide and interact skillfully and effectively with students.
English proficiency is a must
Management and motivational skills
Management skills are not about managing a team or organization. Instead, English teachers must manage their teaching, master the classroom, and set a good example for students. In addition, a teacher with good management skills also knows how to inspire and motivate students to make teaching work happen smoothly.
Patience and dedication to work
English is still a hard subject for Vietnamese students, so the pressure on the teacher's shoulders is inevitable. You must be patient, persistent, and dedicated to guiding students to keep up with their learning levels. Besides, listen and share your valuable experiences to improve learning motivation for students.
Humor and creativity
For English teaching, if the teacher only teaches at a slow or fast pace and does not interweave funny and creative stories, students are easily bored. The class also becomes uninteresting, and the receptivity decreases. Therefore, you need to apply your sense of humor and creativity at the right time to have intriguing and successful teaching sessions.
The spirit of never-ending learning
The understanding of an English teacher comes from qualifications, teaching methods, and social knowledge as well. It's necessary to upgrade yourself daily to impart knowledge to students effectively.

If you work as an English tutor as your secondary job, the salary you will receive will be a huge number.
Faced with the increasing economic integration needs of the country, the need to learn English becomes more urgent than ever. Therefore, the demand for recruiting English teachers has increased constantly to meet this demand, opening up numerous job opportunities for candidates.
