I do not have teacher certification, but I have 6-7yrs experience teaching all sorts of things part time. I know I'm good, I've gotten tons of feedback, from written surveys to gifts & lunches & hugs. But I also know that I would not be good in a huge-class situation. If you want me to teach almost-extinct grammar rules to 50+ people who are just sitting there staring at me for 50 minutes, I'm not going to be at my best. And to be honest, in THAT situation I'd need to relearn some grammar myself! Just because I can speak English properly doesn't mean I can explain WHY I am saying things the way I am! So I think the jobs should be more specifically suited to each teacher, with interviews by native English speakers, preferably teachers, who can see the person's real abilities regardless of their degree.
