Do your research! That's my #1 tip, particularly when it comes to choosing a country and a particular school or program. Talk to former teachers and make sure the place isn't sketchy!

@@RajChandramore The only way to teach in South Korea as an Indian is through the EPIK program. They have additional requirements for Indian teachers - you need to have an actual teaching license (not just TEFL) in English. I recommend going to the official website to find out all the details.
While this TESOL is useful for teaching online in some cases, I do not recommend it for teaching abroad. You'll want to do a TEFL certificate with classroom teaching experience and feedback if possible! Check out the links the the description for some recommendations.
You need to look at the exact requirements for the countries you are interested in. For example, you can teach in Spain through the Auxiliares program for Indians but you need to take an official English exam, Spanish exam and have a degree in order to apply. Having a TEFL is helpful too.
Absolutely. It’s actually better for the learners if you can only communicate in English. I taught 3 years olds English at an immersion school and never spoke any Spanish to them.
A friend of mine has recently told me I should not get my TEFL Certification that it's a waste of time. She said a friend of hers has a Masters Degree in teaching, speaks 5 languages, and said it's difficult to find a decent paying job. Is this true? I was so excited :( I have already started the Level 5 TEFL courses. I'm bummed - this was my dream.
That sounds like a lot of hearsay! If it’s your our dream - I say go for it. If you are concerned about making money, then make sure you are qualified. That way you can access the best paying jobs. It will also depend on where you are teaching. Higher paying positions will be in the Middle East and Asia, as well as international schools.
I'm not American nor British and I feel like a lot of places tend to look down on non-native speakers (despite me having a degree in English Lit & Civ lol) but I just don't know where to look.. I'd prefer a program that's not very long to get me started, like only a few months? I tried AIESEC because their opportunities are pretty popular around here. Any advice? :(
Yes, it’s a good idea to try teaching abroad for a few months before committing to a longer program or contract. I volunteered as an English teacher in Costa Rica for a summer before I decided to do this full-time. If you don’t have a TEFL certificate yet, another option is to do your TEFL course abroad. ITA has a lot of great locations for this. bit.ly/ITATEFL
@@anahann8557 In most cases yes. I'm a native speaker with a Master's degree in Education and was still required to have a TEFL for some programs and schools. If you are non-native, a TEFL is a must.
Hi. Thanks had a quick listen (didn't hv a pen in hand to take notes) will hVe to play your video again tomorrow. Please advise as I'm looking to teach in oman or turkiye. Any reputable agency you can recommend? Also I have my BEd and honours degree. Do I still need a tefl??
Hi! If you don’t have a BEd in TEFL or TESOL then I still recommend getting a TEFL, especially if you are a non-native speaker. The more qualified you can get, the better your chances of securing a job 🙂
Greetings from an American expatriate EFL (and sometimes Spanish) teacher in Taipei, Taiwan! Do you have any tips for reaching affluent parents and other affluent students who won’t try to nickel-and-dime you to death when they hear your fees? I live near some nice apartment buildings with expensive cars visible in the parking garages as I bike past them, but unlike in the USA, there’s no community bulletin board nearby to post flyers and security certainly won’t let someone in to solicit private teaching business. Thoughts? Thanks!
Some ESL companies don’t require a degree but the pay isn’t good. Teaching 1:1 abroad is tricky because you need a proper visa to work in another country. Some countries do offer freelance visas.
I just made a video on this! It's called "How to Apply to Teach in Spain in 2022 - Auxiliares de Conversacion." It goes through the application timeline plus some tips for applying.
It depends on the country. I taught with just my teaching certification & degree in five countries, but needed a TEFL in addition to teach in Australia. It’s best to get it and have it because the TEFL never expires.
There are a million companies you can teach online with. But, do your research to find a reputable one for sure. Some of them scam teachers and won't pay you for all your hours.

Is it possible to get an ESL job when you're not even remotely fluent in any other language?
Absolutely. It’s actually better for the learners if you can only communicate in English. I taught 3 years olds English at an immersion school and never spoke any Spanish to them.
This is so helpful! Thank you, Jamie!!! How many languages do you speak, again?!
Oh just a few 😁 currently learning Italian

I have a Doctorate in Nursing Education. Do I still need additional certifications to teach English in Mexico?
You’ll just need a 120-hour TEFL certificate.
How can I teach abroad after 12th.
Mam pls rplyyy ❤️
What do you mean by 12th?
From after 12th she means after completing the 12th Grade (a Secondary School Graduate)

What did you think of teaching in Costa Rica? I’m considering there! Would you recommend?
I loved it, but it’s challenging to get a legal work visa, so keep that in mind.
I had Seoul suggested as my country to teach in! :)
I am interested,but I am not native English teacher .is it a big issue ?

Maybe find out what schools they go to and contact the school to see if anyone is looking for private tutoring.
@@ESLTeacher365, great thought! Thanks! I’ll brainstorm just how to figure that out and go from there.
I did the quiz hoping to get Mexico because of the proximity and I got South Korea.
Both are great places to teach!
Do you think it’s possible to start teaching online without any degree other than TEFL? or even 1:1 teaching whilst abroad??
Some ESL companies don’t require a degree but the pay isn’t good. Teaching 1:1 abroad is tricky because you need a proper visa to work in another country. Some countries do offer freelance visas.
I have pre celta could I teach abroad or not and thank you for all that information 🙏
No. The minimum to teach abroad is a 120 hour course. You’ll want to do the full-CELTA course, not just the pre-course.
I have an Associates degree from a community College.
Some countries will allow you to work with just an associate's degree while other countries will require a bachelor's degree for visa reasons.
Hi Jamie, How do you go about applying through the Spanish Gov.? Is it direct or through a programme? Thanks for any information or advice.

Hey is the TEFL required if you already have a teaching degree?
