To Whom it May Concern

I would like to teach English in Israel either in a school or in a corporate 
environment.

I am wondering if you can help answer a few questions I have. First please 
let me tell you a bit about myself.

I am a native English Speaker and was born in England. I moved to New 
Zealand at aged 12. I have lived in England for 13 years. I lived in the 
Royal County of Berkshire, including the town of Windsor (where the Queen's 
castle is).  I have taught in England and New Zealand. I am currently a 
prestigious high school teacher at a state secondary school in Auckland. I 
teach science and physics. I have been teaching for eight years. I have a 
Bachelor of Science in Geology and Physics (Auckland University), and a 
Diploma of Teaching (Auckland College of Education).  Before I became a 
teacher I worked for three years at a Science Museum, a High Court, and as a 
exploration geologist. I'm 32 years old and have good fitness.

I have never been to Israel, but I have studied ancient Hebrew linguistics 
and culture for the last two years. I can speak a little modern Hebrew, but 
I want to learn much more. My great-grandmother might be Jewish but I have 
no records to prove that, so I would have to come as a visitor/on a visa 
somehow. I only have enough money to fly to Israel and get an 
English-teaching certificate if need be over here in New Zealand.

But, I really want to live in Israel! I have friends who live there and more 
who are moving there soon

So, my questions are -

1) Which exact certificate do I need to get before I come over?

2) Do I have to retrain once I come over?

3) How much would this retraining cost?

4) Do I have to know Hebrew fluently to teach English?

5) If you think I have no hope in getting a teaching job - then do you know 
of any other job I could get with my education and credentials?

I would greatly appreciate your advice

Many thanks

Yours sincerely

Jane
