St. Paul São Paulo and Alice Smith Kuala Lumpur

Can anyone advise if these are 1st 2nd or 3rd tiered schools? Any advice from experiences from either or living in either KL or São Paulo? Any idea of what packages either of them offer? New to international teaching so any advice welcomed.

Re: BA hon(2i) MSc and PGCE math. No IB. Am I employable ?

Thanks for the replies. Very useful.
You mentioned physics. I do not have a degree in physics, but can certainly teach physics up to Gsce level if it helps as I did my Alevel and first year at Uni in physics.

Is it to my advantage to put that down on my Cv? Should I say that in the covering letter also ? I can't do chemistry nor biology, but certainly physics.
Do you think that will make me more marketable?

Re: BA hon(2i) MSc and PGCE math. No IB. Am I employable ?

Thank you for your replies.
I do not mind a 3 rd tier school and also I do not mind Malaysia,phillipines ,Singapore or even South America. I know I need to start somewhere.
There seems to be some sort of "snobbery" amongst IS teachers as to tiers. Not my style.

Can you advise if some countries are more popular eg Thailand , thus making it more difficult? Is Singapore or Manila any easier?

Is there a shortage of math teachers on the IT circuit? Or is the attraction of IT teaching meaning most IT jobs are over subscribed?

Re: Shrewsbury International School reviews?

Out of interest, can you tell me what the interview was like? Did you have a face to face? Or Skype? Was it intense with subject knowledge grilling? Did you have to go to their college in UK for interview? What subject do you teach?

Sorry for all the questions as I am thinking of going to Thailand early next year. I teach mathematics and looking for job in good school. Any vacancies?

Is there a demand for maths teachers in Thailand?

Has anyone taught maths at an international school in Bangkok or Thailand as a whole?
