How to teach English abroad

Wondering how to be an English teacher abroad? Don’t worry—it’s actually fairly straightforward! Here’s a brief overview of how to teach english abroad:

  1. Get TEFL certified. Although not always required for every teaching job, this is the most basic step to prepare yourself for teaching English abroad. Having a TEFL certificate is quite frequently a prerequisite for teaching opportunities abroad anyway, so having one will open you up to jobs in almost every country in the world. You can get certified online or in-person, in as little as 60 hours or as much as 8 weeks! The right certification for you depends on your level of teaching experience, as well as your career goals, so make sure you evaluate the TEFL program before investing your time and money.
