Teaching an additional language is not as easy as you perceive. You still need to know what is learning and how learning takes place and an awareness of second language acquisition theories, empirical studies that have been conducted into the domain of SLA to date. Then, you need to know what is teaching and how it helps L2 learners acquire language. Without knowing those basics, teaching an additional language is difficult.
@firesinged I don't agree with you. You can't say that it is only the native speakers who can teach an additional language like English. Your assumption is totally wrong. Being a native speaker is not a qualification to teach English although many ignorant people like you think. As English has become a global means of communication, no native model speaker is no longer sought in this era.
@gavi876 I did not say that only native speakers can teach English, and I did not say it is a requirement. I was referring to the heavy accent (difficult to understand). That is why most countries require native English Speakers in their schools. I do not speak out of ignorance; non-Native speakers can teach in many areas, but native speakers are still preferred.
I think you have very good English but I don`t think you are ready to teach conversational English. I suggest that you stay in India and teach grammer and writing. I bet you would do very well doing that. You could also look into translating jobs. While you do that, you can continue working on your pronunciation. Being able to get rid of one`s accent is one of the hardest parts in learning a language because we often don`t hear our own accent, but keep plugging away!
For the sake of the students, don't teach. Your pronunciation is worse than atrocious. Under no circumstances should it be replicated by spreading it to other human beings.
improve ur accent.
