    bad is an adjective, describing a noun (or a pronoun) only

    badly is an adverb, describing a verb only
    the verb 'teach' is modified by the adverb 'badly.' adverbs always answer 'how.'
    how does she want to teach? badly.

    formal english:
    if she wants to teach english poorly, she should say "i want to teach english so badly"

    or

    informal english:
    if she has a strong desire to teach english, she could say "i want to teach english so badly"

    for wanting to be an english teacher, she could have found a more poignant way to express her eagerness to teach english.

    This. That sentence is not exactly a formal (or professional) way to express that thought.
