Having a sibling may help as far as having a place to stay but won’t make much difference as far a finding a job. You will need to apply to take the Praxis test for Science (go to to register for the test) I am assuming that you want to teach middle or high school children. Make sure you have your transcripts from the Philippines, you will be needing them to apply for your teaching certificate. You may need to take some additional courses to meet the NJ requirements, but you should be able to get a substitute teacher’s license in the mean time. This website should help you
E-mail or call them with your questions…things are changing constantly and I would not want to give you the wrong information. If you meet the requirements for a Certificate of Eligibility (CE- need a BA in a qualified major- I assume you have one in Science) you may look for and accept a teaching position while you are taking classes to meet any additional requirements. You may be asked for recommendations from employers or co-workers, so bring them with you if possible.
I hope this helps…good luck…we desperately need good math and science teachers!
