    It might be better to re-post query in Edu: Teaching and Lecturing.

    Both the subject specific and general requirements for secondary school teaching are listed here:

    http://www.teachingcouncil.ie/home/default.asp?NCID=1

    I think your friend would have to apply to the teaching council (and pay a fee) to see whether her qualifications meet the criteria for entry into the one year teacher training higher diploma course.

    For example, in the case of French the subject specific criteria.
    <<
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]The study of a substantial body of relevant literature through the medium of French over at least three years of the degree course supported by the related list of authors and texts
    >>
    It would be great for students to get to learn French from a native speaker if you can get through the red tape.

    Maybe the best place to start is in an after school language club or by teaching adults - either in groups or one to one.
