Hello and Shalom,
I am an Israel citizen who was born in Israel but spent 25 years in the United 
States. I speak both English and Hebrew fluently. I also have a BA and MA in 
English and have been teaching English composition (not language) courses with 
American universities online for the past 3 years with 3 years teaching 
experience on-ground prior to that.

I am currently looking at the option of teaching English (language) in Israel, 
as I have a lot o family here and my parents are getting on in years and my 
father is not well. I've been told by many people here that there is a need for 
English teachers in all sectors (private, public, adult, children, etc) and 
that with my background,  I should have no problem finding work.

However, I don't feel comfortable at the moment with this and feel  I need 
additional training, since
 teaching English to native speakers in America and teaching English to 
Israelis is an entirely different thing :-). So at the moment, I'm looking at 
some options for getting a TESOL certification.

I'm looking mainly at online options, since I am in Israel right now. I was 
wondering if you had any recommendations as to particular programs online that 
have been well received in Israel. Also, if you have any suggestions as to what 
I should be looking for in terms of accreditation, course curriculum, etc., I 
would greatly appreciate some guidance. I would also be open to completing a 
TESOL certification in Israel if there are colleges that offer it (I just 
haven't found any...)

Your website has already helped me greatly :-). I discovered that you are 
affiliated with the TESOL Association in America and that they have a 
certification program that they offer online, so I'm looking at this among 
other options.

Any tips and guidelines you
 can offer me would be most appreciated!

Thank you,
Rotem
