Register now & get certified to teach english abroad!
The two prepositions "on time" and "in time" are widely used but also often used incorrectly. Let's take a look at the difference between the two below.
When something happens "on time", it happens at the planned time.
= punctual
= on schedule
= at the arranged time
= at the planned time
= at the correct time
= neither early nor late
The meeting was scheduled for 10 a.m.
-> This means I wasn’t late. I arrived at the planned time.

= before something happens
= before the scheduled time
= with time to spare

Can I get an English teaching job in Advance in Europe? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs
Securing an English teaching job in Europe prior to arrival can be challenging. While Europe remains a magnet for aspiring English teachers, especially from North America, the typical hiring process often leans towards local recruitment. Unlike regions such as Asia and the Middle East, where job placement can be arranged from abroad, in many European countries, candidates are expected to arrive first and then initiate their job search in-person. However, for those seeking advance placement, there are certain exceptions worth considering.

Teaching Ideas
One of the most difficult aspects of English teaching is not grammar or even structure; it's the externalization of ideas through the act of speaking with the teacher or students. The thought seems trivial but when put in an environment where the language taught overrides their own most students have a hard time organizing their ideas and thoughts to form coherent sentences that expresses what is on their minds.
