ilugru, please check your gmail.

I found some of your comments in EslCafe very helpful and sent you a pm there, but I ‘ve had some trouble loggin’ in there recently and can’t check my pms as a result. Sent a mail to Dave Sperling about the problems, waiting for his response. I’m actually not sure if you received my message, so I thought I could repeat the same questions here.

So my situation is: I’m a Russian English teacher with 8+ years of experience. Did CELTA in 2004 and have been working for IH Moscow since then. I have an IH Certificate in teaching Young Learners and have been a practising Cambridge (FCE, CAE, BECs, KET, PET, YLE, you name it) examiner since 2006 and IELTS Speaking examiner since 2007.

My life is likely to take a twist some time soon and I might end up in Lithuania. I know that finding job in an EU country for a non-EU citizen is a difficult task and being a non-native speaker doesn’t help things. However, given I sort out the work permit issue on my own (I hope I know how), is there a chance for me to land a more or less decent job in Vilnius?I can teach pretty much anything, though I’m not too good at teaching Business English and kids. I’m particularly interested in teaching exam classes/students - is there a market for them in Lithuania?

Sorry for asking the same things twice, but I really hope to get your response sooner than I can log in properly at ESL cafe - things don’t get too fast there, unfortunately.

Many thanks in advance. Hope I’m not too much of a nuisance
