Why are there so many job openings and how do I
know I can get a teaching position?
Well over 100,000 English teaching positions
open worldwide each year!
The key to getting an English teaching job is turnover and
knowing the hiring seasons.
Typical contracts run 6 or 12 months, 50% of teachers decide to

renew at the end of their contract, while or 50% do not these
jobs must be filled!
Job markets for English teachers are cyclical. Think of how

universities turn over 30% of students every year and the army
must replace 20% of its force annually. The English teaching
markets operate on the same principle.
Teachers do not hold their jobs for 5 or 10 years as a

public school teacher in your home town might. Most stay for one
year, possibly two, before moving on to a new adventure in a
new location, or returning home. Ask yourself how long you
want to teach in one location, and the answer will likely be the
same.
Off season Hiring: Jobs do open during the off season as not all schools fill every job and employees do
not always stay for their full term. However, the number of jobs available is substantially less, and you
may find yourself having to work part time at 2 different schools until the star t of a new hiring seasons.
Follow our professional advice regarding hiring seasons and the interview process and you will
find opportunities. Examples: If you search for jobs in Europe during August, you will find empty towns
and closed schools as the entire continent is on a month long holiday. Go in September when language
schools need to replace 50% of their staff and you will find opportunities . Also, dont think you will find a
job during the last weeks of December in South America, as 99% of the population is Christian and on
break. Show up two months later and you will find a vibrant job market .

Asia
Combining an
enormous
population, a deep-
rooted commitment
to education and
widespread
economic prosperity,
Asia is far-and-away
the largest market on
the globe for English
language instruction.
Nearly half of all English teaching

opportunities can be found here as tens of
thousands of teachers are employed each
year in Japan, China, Taiwan, and South
Korea. In addition, newly ascendant Southeast Asian
Economic Tigers like Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and
Malaysia represent some of the fastest growing job
markets on Earth. Steeped in history, deep-rooted
cultures and exquisite natural beauty, Asia also offers
some of the most lucrative opportunities in the world as a
typical native-speaking English teacher with a
TEFL/TESOL Certification from International TEFL
Academy can expect to save 30%-50% of their salary
after expenses.
Some points about teaching English in Asia:

In Korea, English teachers typically save between $10,000
and $15,000 a year after expenses, while in China, Japan and
Taiwan, savings often range from $5,000 to $8,000 annually. You
can also save a substantial amount of your salary in many Southeast
Asian countries like Thailand and Vietnam, which offer alluring
combinations of culture, cuisine, history and natural beauty.
A four-year degree is typically required (though not always in China

or Cambodia), and teachers from native English speaking countries
are strongly preferred.
Most positions in developed Asian countries like Japan, Korea,

Taiwan, and China, are obtained by interviewing in
advance from your home country, so most
teachers have a job lined up before departing for
the region.
Asia offers more opportunities to teach children than any
other region in the world.

Europe
The English teaching market in Europe has always been
strong, but with the economic and cultural integration brought on by the
emergence of the European
Union, the use of English as
a common language of
culture and commerce has
increased several times
over, and with it, the
demand for certified English
teachers.
Job markets are also

booming in Central
and Eastern Europe
where countries like the Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, and Hungary (to name
just a few), are still working to reintegrate with the rest of world after decades
behind the Iron Curtain, and have made learning English a top priority for
students, workers and business professionals.
Some points about teaching in Europe:

Many jobs entail 10 to 12 month contracts. September,
October and January are busy hiring periods for most
countries in Europe, with many contracts ending in early July.
January is a secondary season to start employment.
A typical English teacher will make enough to support

himself/herself comfortably, but should not expect to save
substantial sum.
Summer camps in Europe offer great opportunities for those

looking for shorter commitments.

Central & South America
From the life-filled depths of the Amazon Rain Forest and
the tropical beaches of Costa Rica to the pulsing streets of
Buenos Aires and the soaring peaks of the Andes, Latin
America offers a mind-boggling combination of spectacular
natural beauty, diverse
cultures and exciting cities.
In addition, a surge in demand for

English language instruction has
made the region one of the most
popular destinations for recently
certified English teachers include San
Jose,
Costa Rica; Santiago, Chile; Buenos
Aires, Argentina, and the great cities of Brazil
like Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Living in Latin
America offers opportunities to work on your Spanish (or your Portuguese should
you teach in Brazil), learn the Tango and explore the mystical Inca ruins of
Machu Picchu. While salaries are not as high as they are in Asia or the Middle
East, the low cost of living makes the region attractive from a financial perspective.
Some points about teaching in South & Central America

Those looking to work on their Spanish or Portuguese skills (in
Brazil) may consider setting up a "language exchange" with
a local, whereby you meet at a cafe, bar or some other venue and spend
some time speaking in Spanish and some time speaking in English so that
both of you can improve your language proficiency.
Most hiring in South American countries is conducted in

February/March (primary) and July/August (secondary); in Central America
hiring seasons are in June/July (primary) and January/February (secondary).
It possible to find great teaching opportunities in many South and

Central American countries without a four-year degree (see our country
chart for more details).
Private tutoring opportunities abound & provide a great way to earn extra
money & make local friends.

Middle East
Schools in Egypt, Jordan, United Arab
Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and other
Middle Eastern nations all seek certified
English teachers. In many Arab nations, university
classes are taught in English and the regions location at
the crossroads of East and West has made cities like
Dubai major hubs of commerce and leisure where
English is the norm. In wealthy Gulf States in particular,
most positions are offered to experienced teachers with
a degree and/or prior experience in education, in
addition to a TEFL / TESOL certification.
Those who qualify for such positions will enjoy

some of the highest salaries in the field as pay can
range from $ 2,500 - $ 6,000 a month, plus free
housing and flights to and from the teachers home
country. Jobs are somewhat easier to come by for those
with just a four-year degree (or even less) and a
TEFL/TESOL Certification in Egypt, Morocco, Jordan,
and Turkey, where the pay may be less lucrative, but the
cost of living is low and the opportunities for immersion
in one the worlds great regions for culture and history
are innumerable.
The vast majority of positions in the Gulf

Countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman)
are obtained through interviews in advance.
Teachers should expect to adhere to local

cultural norms, which can vary dramatically from what you
may be used to in the West. Within the region, restrictions on
personal freedoms like style of dress and the right to consume
alcohol can vary widely from country to country, or even from
region to region within a particular country.
The presence of large expatriate

communities, where teachers can socialize with
other westerners makes the transition for
newcomers to the region much smoother.

What types of classes will I be teaching & who will my students be?
English students around the globe hail from all backgrounds, ages
and walks of life. Depending on where you teach and which school you work for, you may teach corporate
executives from Fortune 500 corporations, clerks from the local hotel, or university students. Or, you may find yourself
tutoring local housewives or possibly teaching children in public schools. Bear in mind that your International TEFL
Academy certification course will provide you with the skills necessary to teach a broad variety of students.
Adult Students
Adult learners represent the largest
segment of students that most English
teachers work with when they go abroad
to teach English. This is particularly the case in
Europe and Latin America where foreigners do not
typically teach in public schools, where most young
learners conduct their English studies.
Types of business professionals,

corporate executives and
employees some companies will
contract with a local language school to bring
a teacher onsite to provide instruction to
employees; others will send their employees
to a class at the school.
Adult students:
Small business owners who conduct business with

foreign firms in English, or who work extensively with
English-speaking customers.
Those working in tourism and the hospitality

industry.
University students looking to study abroad, who

are conducting research in fields dominated by English or
are looking to obtain employment in an English-speaking
country.
IT and the Web- Anybody working in technology or

looking to take full advantage of the Internet.
Entertainment - Those looking to enjoy English-

language movies, books, music, television and other
media.
Most adult English language learners either work or go to school,

so be prepared to teach classes in the late afternoon and
evenings, and possibly on weekends as well. Many adult learners
also seek private lessons, which offer teachers a great
opportunity to earn additional income and work with students on a
more personal level.
Teaching English to Children:
Asia is a booming market for those looking to
teach children, as public and private schools are increasingly
seeking native English teachers to provide high quality English
language instruction. In addition, in countries like Korea, many
parents enroll their children in language classes at private
language institutes after school to supplement the instruction
they receive in school.
Should you work with such students in a private

language institute setting, expect to be giving most
of your lessons in the late afternoon and early
evening.
In Latin America and Europe where foreigners do not typically teach in public schools where most young learners
conduct their English studies, there are fewer opportunities, however it certainly is possible to work with younger learners.
Many parents will seek private lessons for their children to get a head-start on their English proficiency or to
assist them in passing a college entrance exam in English known as the TOEFL exam. English language summer camps
are another popular venue where language training is provided to younger learners in Europe, Latin America and Asia as
well.

What sort of school will I teach in?
Private language schools:
As foreigners are not typically hired to teach children in public
schools in most countries, the majority of opportunities for
TEFL/TESOL graduates will be in private language
schools.
These are generally privately owned enterprises specializing in

language training (usually English), and can range in size and
scope from mom-and-pop businesses with a single classroom,
to large multi-national chains of schools operating dozens of
branches in multiple countries. Large cities in Europe, Asia and
Latin America typically host anywhere from 30-100 schools.
Mega cities of Asia such as Tokyo, Seoul, and Shanghai
can boast 3,000 5,000 language schools!
Some will specialize in areas such as business English or

young learners, while others may offer general classes to
students of all levels and abilities. Many classes taught in
such venues focus on conversational English, which many
students find difficult to master and which they need for
professional reasons, but as a teacher you must be prepared to
cover all aspects of the English language.
Schedules vary, but on average you will teach for 25 - 30

hours a week with 12-15 hours of prep work. A common
shift is from 2 9 p.m. with some weekend work to
accommodate students looking to study English after a
standard work or school day. Class sizes vary, but typically
range from 2 15 students.
Public Schools: In many Asian countries, public school systems hire native
English speakers to work in grade schools and junior high schools. Classes
typically run from Monday through Friday, averaging 25 to 30 hours a week of
classroom time, and 12 to 15 hours a week of lesson planning. Expect an
average workday to begin at 8 a.m. and last until 4 p.m.
Private Tutoring Opportunities: Private lessons are in high demand in

most locales around the world and offer great opportunities to earn extra income
and to get to know students on a more personal level than is possible in a
typical classroom setting.
Universities: Experienced TEFL / TESOL teachers with advanced degrees

may find openings at the university level. These positions provide opportunities
to work with advanced students and typically pay higher than positions in private
language institutes or public schools.
Volunteer Positions: Non-governmental organizations, including

charitable organizations and mission-based groups often sponsor TEFL /
TESOL teachers to travel abroad to teach English.
Summer Jobs: Summer camps in Europe and Asia offer four to six week summer teaching jobs in language camps
for school aged children and adolescents. These opportunities are great for those looking for shorter stints overseas as
well as those who enjoy working outdoors with children and teenagers.

How much money can I make?
Your income as an English teacher will depend on your position,
qualifications and the country where they teach. Wages are typically,
though not always, paid in local currency. Check out our
country chart and country profiles on our website for more detailed
information for particular countries.
Europe and Latin America - Foreign

English teachers in these regions typically earn
a wage that allows them to live comfortably in an apartment, purchase groceries,
dine out, commute by public transportation and have some extra money to travel and
pursue other interests. In both regions, private lessons are in high demand and provide
excellent opportunities for teachers to earn additional income .
Asia - English teachers typically save between 30%-

50% of their salary, with savings ranging from $ 200-$ 300
a month in a country like Thailand to $ 1,000 or more a
month in Korea after expenses.
Middle East TEFL/TESOL

graduates with extra experience and
qualifications (typically a Masters
degree and some professional
background in education) will enjoy some
of the highest salaries in the field as pay
can range from $ 2,500 - $ 6,000 a month,
plus free housing and flights to and from the
teachers home country. In less developed countries like Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and Turkey,
foreign English teachers typically earn enough to support themselves comfortably, but should
not expect to save much.
Extra Benefits:
Some countries provide national health insurance

and paid vacation time. In other countries employers
provide free accommodation and utilities to help teachers with
living expenses. Another perk could include the
reimbursement of airfare.
Offers vary from one destination/country to another. Working with

an International TEFL Academy advisor can assist you with
researching your job choices in advance to make an educated
decision. It is of paramount importance to consider the cost of
living in the country where you seek to work.

(The answers are as clear as black and white)
YES! While your abilities to converse in English as a native speaker are critical to your ability to get hired as an English
teacher, earning your certification is more important than ever, not only to gain a certification that many schools require as
a matter of course, but also to succeed in providing your students with a quality educational
experience that will enable them to reach their own goals and aspirations. Consider the following points:

TEFL/TESOL Certification?
Unless you are a certified ESL teacher, or
you have an actual university degree in
TESOL, you should definitely get your
TEFL/TESOL Certification.
Certainly any professional or academic background in
teaching and education will give you a huge leg-up in job
markets around the world. However just as teachers in the
U.S. cannot typically teach ESL without a state-recognized
ESL certification, most schools abroad will still want to see
proof that you have received professional training
specifically in the field of teaching English as a foreign
language, which like all fields, requires a specific set of skills
and knowledge.
In addition, the job search guidance you receive with your

training from International TEFL Academy will make all the
difference in your ability to navigate international job markets
and avail yourself to the sorts of job opportunities that will
meet your professional and personal needs.

country, or am I just

to experience any destination that is new and different.
You may teach for one year in Spain and then one year in Italy, or one year in China and then one year in Thailand. Many
newly certified teachers spend a year teaching in Asia saving money and then move on to Europe or Latin America the
next year. The opportunities are endless its just up to you to make the effort, follow our guidance and pursue your
dreams.
Our professional admission staff will help guide you in the direction of the best options
based on your background, wants and needs.

Finding English teaching jobs overseas:
How do I actually get a job
teaching overseas?
There are numerous ways to find jobs and as part of your
International TEFL Academy job search guidance you will be
shown how to use each one.
Job Boards There are nearly 100 ESL online job

boards listing tens of thousands of teaching
opportunities around the world. Some job boards are
general in nature and list jobs all over the world; others
are country or region specific. In some cases, you may apply directly through the website, in others,
contact information will be provided. As a student and graduate of International TEFL Academy, you will
be provided with a comprehensive list of these websites.
Contacting Schools Directly International TEFL Academy

provides you with an international school directory with contact information
for more than 8,000 educational institutions around the globe. In some
cases, International TEFL Academy can also provide you with specific
references and contacts for schools. Reaching out to specific schools makes
good sense if you are looking to work in a very specific region or city. Its
often as simple as calling a school while in town and asking for an interview
that day.
Placement Agencies & Recruiters In some countries and

regions, like Asia and the Arab Gulf countries, a large percentage of
teachers are hired through recruiters and placement agencies. International
TEFL Academy can refer you to the most reputable agencies.
Networking and Word of Mouth Contacting other English teachers can be a great way to learn
about schools and job opportunities, particularly if you are on the ground in the city or region where you
want to teach.
Interviewing for teaching jobs overseas

1) Interviewing in advance from your home country:
On average, for advance interviews you should allow for two to four months (possibly longer in Japan) from the
beginning of the interview process to the start date of your job. This procedure is standard for schools in the
Arab Gulf countries, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Central and Eastern Europe, and some
Latin American countries. Applying for such jobs enables you to pursue multiple opportunities in multiple
countries and you will typically have a job lined up prior to your departure overseas.
2) Face-to-face interviews abroad:

Schools in many countries, particularly in Western Europe and much of Latin America, will require job applicants
to come to their school in-person and interview face-to-face during major hiring seasons. This stems from a
philosophy that the best manner to evaluate potential teachers is to interview in -person, and the fact that the
local applicant pool is sufficient so schools feel no need to interview potential teachers by long distance . Also, in
many cases, schools may not have the resources to engage in global recruiting . In most cases, you will begin
teaching almost immediately after your interview, so you should not plan on returning to your home country
between your interview and your work start date.

Expect an in-person interview prior to a contract start date if you want to teach in any of the following
locations:
- Western Europe
- Some schools in Eastern Europe
- Most schools in Latin American countries
- Many schools in Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia.
Again, the country chart that you find on our company website will answer all your questions and act as a
blueprint in your selection process.
3) Face-to-Face Interviews prior to going abroad:

In-person interviews in the applicants home country are common for jobs in Japan and are commonly conducted
in major cities in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. A teaching demonstration may be incorporated into the
interview process.
PLEASE NOTE: International TEFL Academy does not assign placements and you will interview for
positions yourself. This means that you are in full control of who you speak with and which job offer you
accept. While it may make you feel nervous not to have a job set up, it is best to have control of what
job, school, location and environment that suits your needs.
Can I start a job search and interview immediately?
You do not need to complete your TEFL course to begin your job search and interview process. Students can start
contacting and interviewing with schools immediately after registering for an International TEFL Academy course with the
assistance of expert job search advisors in our Student Services Department. If you are looking to work in Europe or Latin
America, timing your applications and interviews is critical. Schools in these regions will typically interview over the phone
two to three months prior to the hiring period.
Those who take our online course may begin the interview process during the class. Those enrolled in an international
TEFL / TESOL course may participate in advance interviews with schools, or contact schools during or immediately after
the course.
Where will I live while teaching overseas?

When housing is not provided by an employer, new teachers will be
responsible for finding their own housing, however, it is common for
schools to assist their new teachers in finding housing. Often, new
teachers will share an apartment with other English teachers upon their
arrival, or move into the newly vacated apartment of a recently departed
teacher. Some schoolsprimarily in China and Koreaprovide free
accommodation in the form of a private or shared apartment, while others
may offer to arrange a home stay, particularly if the school is located in a
small town.
Pre-Departure Support
International TEFL Academy provides free pre-enrollment advice, as well as pre-
departure support. You will be provided with detailed information on moving, health
insurance, safety, packing and traveling ideas and suggestions for long-term
employment. We offer advice and resources to assist you with obtaining the necessary
documentation to move and live overseas. Your new employer in your chosen country
will also be an essential resource.

What to consider when looking at TEFL/TESOL
certification options?
1. Is the certification course at least 106 hours? 100 hours (100 hours coursework / 6 hours practicum)
is the international minimum standard and thousands of language schools (including most of the most reputable
ones with the highest standard, which tend to the best places to work) will not recognize any lesser
certification. These standards are recognized by the British Council, Cambridge, Trinity and all major TEFL
TESOL accrediting organizations.
All International TEFL Academy courses meet these international standards. Many of the courses incorporate up
to 20 hours of practicum, and our 170 hour online course exceeds this academic standard by 50 hours.
***TEFL / TESOL training courses with fewer than 100 hours or no practicum will not provide you with an
internationally recognized certification.
2. Is the certification internationally recognized and

accredited? International TEFL Academy locations and franchises use
a curriculum designed by ITA professors. Our courses are accredited by
TQUK.
This curriculum meets the requirements set by the British

Council of 100 hours of coursework and 6 hours of student teaching. Our onsite courses,
operated in cooperation with our international affiliates and partners, are all internationally accredited by a variety of
leading academic bodies, including the TQUK, College of Teachers, IATQuO, and ACCET. As a U.S. based institute,
we are also held to U.S. educational, ethical and professional standards.
3.Is the course taught by a highly experienced,

university-level instructor? International TEFL Academy courses
- including the 170 hour online course - are taught by highly qualified and
experienced instructors who have a masters degree in TESOL or a
related field.
4.Are class sizes limited and is the professor

accessible? International TEFL Academys 170 hour online courses
are limited to 20 students to ensure an intimate learning experience and
access to the professor; most onsite courses are limited to a maximum of
12-15 students.
5. Will you receive free job search guidance, including personal attention and service, from
experienced career advisors with years of experience in the TEFL field around the world,
who will provide you with insight and knowledge regarding every matter related to finding a suitable job from contract
and visa issues to writing an international resume and cover letter?
6. Does the job search guidance expire? International TEFL Academy job search guidance is a lifetime
service. This means that if you decide to go abroad later in the future, you will be able to access our expertise and
resources to assist you with the process of locating opportunities wherever it is that you decide to go.

7. Will you receive the attention of an expert Admissions Advisor who will provide honest and
straightforward information about courses and working abroad before you even put down a dime for a
course? Investing your time and money in a TEFL/TESOL Certification and going overseas is no small matter, so at
International TEFL Academy we stress the importance of providing honest, accurate, and
straightforward information about all aspects of going abroad to teach English from certification to your job
search prior to enrollment.
8. Does your TEFL course include a

practicum/hands-on element to the class? This is
necessary for two reasons. One, you really need it to actually
gain the necessary skills to be an effective teacher, and two;
most potential employers around the world will not recognize a
certification that does not incorporate a practicum. All
International TEFL Academy courses incorporate a practicum.
9. Do you feel that you can receive a university-

level educational experience and a legitimate
internationally recognized professional teaching
certification to teach in more than 80 countries around the
world for only $ 200 or $ 400 or $ 600? If you answered no,
then you are correct!
10. When looking at different TEFL courses, ask yourself, does this price/offer sound too good
to be true? Can I really learn the skills I need to teaching English at a professional level, by taking a self-paced,
solo online course or a two-day weekend course in a hotel room? If I get certified, will I also be provided with the
guidance, knowledge and personal assistance that I will require to navigate job markets around the world?
