<p>You should send a PM to fiona_ She completed a CELTA course in Vietnam and did some teaching between high school and college. She may have good ideas for you about where to study and to find work.</p>
<p>There are few paying English teaching jobs for high school graduates. Most places want at least some college. CELTA is probably your best option for a short course, but there won’t be any financial aid available, and it isn’t the sort of training that qualifies for student loans. If your parents can’t help you pay for it, are they willing to let you live at home for free while you work and save up your own money for the course and living expenses?</p>
<p>You also should look around where you live, and see if there are any local agencies that offer TESL and/or GED teacher training. Those organizations may also be able to help you find some paying work in your area.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best!</p>
