• Think about Where and How You Want to Teach
Which country, culture, climate etc suits you?
What kind of work situation: employment in a language school, private tuition, volunteering or simply being a good neighbour? - Discuss your options with us.
• Choose Your Job Hunting Strategy
1. At distance using the internet, adverts, agent, or personal contacts.
2. On the spot measuring the market, networking and knocking on doors.
• Teaching English Abroad
As well as general TEFL in language schools, there is a huge market for business and technical English. The most typical employer is a private language school. Personal tuition is often possible, but be aware of local tax and immigration issues.
If you are a qualified teacher (e.g. PGCE), you can also approach international schools.
Check working visa requirements before you travel as some countries only accept graduates.
Ask us for further advice.
• TEFL TESOL in the UK
The easiest way to find paid work in the UK is to offer private tuition to individuals or small groups. With a spare room you can also have Home-Stay students who you offer board and lessons.
British Council accredited language schools are not likely to employ you with our qualification unless you have done our TEFL Work Experience Week and got several years of TEFL TESOL experience.
TEFL is a useful additional skill for mainstream teachers, classroom assistants and HR staff in companies with immigrant workers.
• Develop Your TEFL TESOL Career for UK Jobs
A good way into the UK language school market is to gather a couple of years teaching experience abroad and then add on further training such as a DELTA or a LTCL Diploma TESOL.
Anything you have done in your life has given you specialist English that someone, somewhere,
will be glad of.
With a TEFL qualification you can supply that and be paid for it.
