thank you for your response.
I am not sure what you mean with being very good in math. But I can represent these details about me.
I submitted one of my short papers to a good mathematics journal (it is a member of well known journal group)
and now it is still being peer reviewed (as other authors,of course I cannot guarantee the publication)
one another paper (it was not relevant to mathematical science. İt was about social sciences)
has been approved to be published with major corrections
meanwhile, mathematics is NOT a set of instructions or it is not a series of books
it is a discipline instead
I taught mathematics (worked as a math teacher) around 2-3 years.
And there exist one problem , most of countries that I looked some,are requiring high toefl scores.
(at least 80 is required everywhere,also,the min score is 100 in common)
I do not say that I cannot take this score but it does not seem so much probable in a short time.
(e.g. in 6 months)
Yes, mathematics is a field. We don't know each other but, as background, I have several engineering degrees, was a research scientist and taught aspects of Biomedical Engineering at the university level years ago.
What I meant by "being very good in the field of mathematics" is that the options that you have are:
- a researcher in the field of mathematics - through publications, your network, you need to demonstrate that you have the ability to carry out
original and impactful research in your specialisation within the field of mathematics. A position will depend not on one publication, but on a series of work.
- a teacher at the university or high school level - this tends to have specific educational requirement where you need to demonstrate the ability to teach on top of your grasp of the field of mathematics. This usually requires strong language abilities.
- applied mathematics in the public or private sector - lots of different opportunities exist from finance, to statistics, to data sciences, to applied mathematical programming...
Since you've already worked as a teacher, you might validate your degree and experience by getting another degree in a local university. To do that you will probably need more than just a good TOEFL exam score but actual overall B2/C1 competencies. As scores, A TOEFL score of 80 is a strong B2 and 100 is about C1.
When you say that you've taught for 2-3 years, at what level have you taught?
You are currently at about the B1 level from the scores you listed about. Getting to B2 or C1 in 6 months is going to require a very strong effort.
What is your plan to get to this level?
The people of the site can help validate a strategy and plan but the effort is all yours
. Good luck.
