I am a good English teacher. I am looking forward to teaching at the United States. Can you help me to find a good path? Thank you. By the way thank you for your corrections that help me to be more humble.

Your English may be good enough to teach another subject eg:. math or French, but not English.
Pick what you want to teach and start sending out applications. Look up the address of the school districts or school commissions you want to teach in, get the addresses on the Internet and start sending out applications.
Good Luck

Not to be a jerk, but you don't sound like a very good English teacher. I can tell you are a non-native speaker from the way you write. That's OK, but if you want to teach English, you should ESPECIALLY be good at writing English.
However...
I know there is a dire shortage of secondary teachers in the Houston area. You should look into that.

If you are a "good" English teacher, then demonstrate it by using the language correctly. Begin by capitalizing the word "English.Move on to expressing yourself clearly and correctly. "...looking forward teaching." Period, not a comma after States. This would be embarrassing to you if you applied to teach English and submitted something as poorly written as your question.
I hope this helps you!!

What is your current position in he education system? If you are at senior/high school, focus on English. If you are thinking of going to college, consider a TESOL/TEFL related course or an English major. If you are post-college, working etc., consider a teaching certificate of some kind or take a look at CELTA.
Firstly though, improve your own English if you want anyone to take you seriously.

I think you should not go to the United States, you should go to other countries like Indonesia, Pakistan, Burma, Nepal or even Turkestan where the need for English teachers are more dire.

jd, sorry to correct you but there's no shortage of good teachers in the U.S. There is a shortage of teaching jobs that pay enough to make it worthwhile for educated people to want to put up with all the *#&! that goes along with being a teacher. Some of us do it anyway, partly because we are idealistic, partly because we are masicistic.

I'm not sure if this would apply to a teacher from another country, but it may be a good place to start. There is a shortage of qualified teachers in the U.S. so it's always nice to read that someone wants to help. Good luck in your endeavors.

To teach at high school level or below you must have your Bachelor's degree. To teach college, you must have a Master's degree.
