TEACHING JOBS ABROAD

Finding teaching jobs abroad can feel like a daunting task as you have a lot to think about. It can be difficult to know what type of teaching you would like to do. The location you would like to teach in, and whether you can leave family and friends behind for a year or two to start a new adventure. The good news is that many people have been in your shoes, bought the T-shirt and bolstered their resumes in the process, and you can too. Teaching English overseas could be the new start you're looking for, and here's why.

Teachers with little or no experience

If you have little or no experience, then fear not, you are in good company. Thousands of people every year decide that they are going to find something new and start to teach. For many, they feel like they lack the skills or experience. The good news is, that you can develop both of these if you have the will and enthusiasm to learn. If you are willing to learn, the best option is to teach a language. If you're from an English-speaking country, then TEFL or ESL is probably the best option.

Experienced Teachers

Your background and expertise will determine the options that are open to you and what kind of teaching jobs abroad you can undertake. If you are already a qualified teacher with years of experience in your native country, then the chances are that you will be able to apply these skills elsewhere. However, you need to ask the following questions: Is there a demand for your teaching skills? And can you secure a legal working visa? If there is a demand and you are eligible to work, then you're halfway there.

One of the biggest markets for teaching English abroad is China. China is on its way to becoming the world's largest economy, and this means there is a high demand for English to be taught in both public and private language schools. Teaching English in China can be a fun, challenging and rewarding experience. You can choose to teach in the major cities that seem to be developing at breakneck speeds or live in smaller cities where there is still plenty to do and see.

South East Asia is also a great option for those looking to expand their horizons and experience something new. Thailand and Indonesia are emerging countries with flourishing tourist industries heavily reliant on English. In both of these countries, you can enjoy bustling city life with great food and distinct cultures, as well as beachside towns with blue skies and sandy beaches.
