Many teachers are brilliant in the classroom but are at a loss for ideas when it comes to teaching children English in private classes, and that is a shame because teaching one on one can be very rewarding, as well as often being a good source of extra income. By far the best approach for children for successful and fun one to one teaching is to use games and songs.

Well, we have news for you: this definitely isn't the case in Asia! It's one part of the world that has managed to keep the flame of its ancient traditions burning brightly, despite its gleaming, modern side. Its history, diversity and great respect for tradition are amongst the things that Asia is famous for. There's also an abundance of sights worth seeing: the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, Sunkakuwan Bay, the Tubbataha Reef, Mt.Kinabalu and the industrial hubbub of Tokyo are just the tip of the iceberg!

Lesser-travelled due to past political strife, Algeria has much to offer, though travel in the south-eastern provinces of Tamanrasset, Djanet and Illizi is currently advised against. There's still plenty to explore: the capital of Algiers has been a port since the time of the ancient Romans and includes the ruins Djemila and Timgad; it's also worth making a trip to Oran, Algeria's second city, with its historic remains and several beautifully-constructed Turkish mosques. Other sights include the Mansourah Fortress in the Tlemcen region and the Ahmed Bey Palace in Constantine, which is also the oldest continuously inhabited city in Algeria.

Clearly if you volunteer to teach somewhere, your motives are not financial and you aren't going to make money. If you want to make money, you probably won't volunteer and nor will you go to China to teach. You'd head to Kuwait, the UAE or Brunei. Important considerations are your own inclinations (are you a miser or a spendthrift?), the standard of living you can attain in the country you plan to teach in and the value of one currency relative to another.
