Teaching ESL in the Baltic States

Is it possible to teach English as a Second Language in
Latvia, Estonia, or Lithuania, without a TEFL certificate?
If so, where is the best place to get started? If not,
what is the best thing a person should do to get involved
with the profession the quickest?

   ... contact the schools directly I know that in Estonia
   there is a list of basic and secondary schools
   http://tartu.euedu.ee/koolid/ or
   http://www.edu.ee/
   The smaller the place the easier to find job without
   certificate (I hope you do have other papers proving your
   ability to teach english, diploma or smt.) Also you should
   be aware that official english textbooks are based
   on british english. If you do have degree in English, then
   you could contact also British Council (head office in
   Riga). Also I would imagine the cultural atache in embassie
   might know a thing or two. Good luck.
