An unemployed american coming to Ukraine to earn $15 per hour. This is going to be a fairy short entry. First of all, let me apologize for my terrible English, I'm trying to do my best. I've had an English teacher who came to Ukraine to teach English. He told us that he used to work in a supermarket as a security guy (not sure wether it's the right word, but anyway) but then he said that he'd been unemployed for quite a while before he found this English teaching job in our city. That's interesting. He doesn't have a higher education in teaching, and he doesn't have a TESL certificate that most of the italki teachers like to show off with. Basically, here's a security guy from the US trying to teach us English and making $15 per hour. That's insane. And here I find myself looking at his Facebook profile's picture where he's standing in the see, a big smile on his face. Why does it happen?

An unemployed American coming to Ukraine to earn $15 per hour.

I've had an English teacher who came to Ukraine to teach English. He told us that he used to work in a supermarket as a security guard (not sure whether it's the right word, but anyway), but then he said that he'd been unemployed for quite a while before he found this English teaching job in our city. That's interesting. He doesn't have any higher education in teaching, and he doesn't have a TESL certificate that most of the italki teachers like to show off with. Basically, here's a security guard from the US trying to teach us English and making $15 per hour. That's insane.

And here I find myself looking at his Facebook profile's picture where he's standing in the *ocean, with a big smile on his face.

How can this happen?

*In this case "ocean" sounds more natural.

I will leave a room for proofreading to a native speaker :) I don't know about your case in details but in my opinion, a situation in which a person who is not qualified and doesn't get the required qualifications and charges a big amount of money, is not cool at all. It's up to you whether you want to use their services or not, isn't it? If they are not quite prepared for teaching, but they are getting some qualifications, then I would say it's not that bad. But it's up to YOU. Make the right decision on your own.
