creative writing

How do I become a creative writing tutor ?
Im based in London have worked as a secretary for more than 10 years and have an HND in Business Studies but am tired of admin work and office politics and would like to do something more creative- change careers.
I write in my spare time and have attended an advanced writing course for the past 3 years and am writing a novel. I would like to see if I could train to teach creative writing in further education colleges etc or and English /English literature. I would also be grateful if I could get any info on what qualifications you need to be able to teach English as a first language and Basic literacy skills and ESOL.
You really need to practice your art first. Get published, enter competitions to build up your writing CV.
This is what I done and now teach for Adult Education. My students all want to get published and I could not have advised them without having been published myself. You would also need to continue writing and perhaps working towards having a novel or non fiction book published.
Good luck
