I am a college student doing B.Sc in hospitality and hotel management and have scored 7.5 bands in IELTS and have worked as a trainer in an IELTS coaching center. How can I find the same job in Lucknow after my college hours?
Get trained with either British Council or IDP workshops. Be ready with a demo class. Must have the aptitude and passion to teach. The band doesn't necessarily suggest your ability to coach.
