Teaching Jobs in England

For Westerners, teaching jobs in England provide an exciting international opportunity with a lot of the comforts they’re used to. A lot of teachers choose to teach abroad in England for the ease of communication with their students, and the familiarity of Western media and entertainment doesn’t hurt either. England still provides plenty of foreign experience though, especially for those not accustomed to British lifestyle or lingo. You’ll have the chance to explore a different government structure, witness the fascination and national identity associated with a monarchy, and understand an entirely different history and heritage by teaching abroad in England.

Through I have only been here a few weeks, the transition has been pretty smooth. I'm Living with a co-worker which makes commute less of a hassle. Transportation is a bit more expensive here but once you budget you will be fine. The bus system is very organised and its easy to get from one place to the next. Though I wish the food was a bit more to m liking there are great places in London that you can grab a bit to eat. That doesn't mean you can't venture into the town's market and get good food. Access to healthy is really easy here which is a big plus for me. In regards to school, my interactions have mostly been pleasant. Access to resources is really good. I really don't have to worry about printing issues here and getting materials for my classes is pretty easy. As with many places I have mixed students and mixed personalities. Most of my interactions with students have been pleasant, however, there are days when you will feel really drained. When you feel tired rest, lots of rest. But I have stayed in touch with some from the acclimatisation week, as well as I had people I knew already here. Socialising is key to keeping yourself centred while here so find people that will make your stay worth it.

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in England

Locations

England has it all, from small coastal towns to massive urban centers and countryside villages, each with its own unique populace. While England is known for its often gray weather, the result is lush green landscapes, the likes of which you probably haven’t seen much of. Remember that no matter where you end up teaching abroad in England, a new experience is always just a train-ride away.

London. A lot of the available teaching jobs in England will be based in London. From public to private schools, taught in English and even other languages, there are schools focusing on the arts, engineering, music, and more in London. London is full of places to shop, plays to see, and in the last 15 years, has drastically improved its culinary variety. You’ll find cuisine from all over the world, at various authentic restaurants in and around London, often run by foreign workers just like you. While the cost of living in London is high, you’ll get what you pay for in both atmosphere and activity.

Cambridge. You won’t be alone as an academic professional in Cambridge. To say the city is a center of education is an enormous understatement. Known for its superb caliber of academics and fertility for startups and established businesses, Cambridge has a strong economy to boot, making it an even more attractive place to live and teach abroad in England. Cambridge’s ancient center also offers endless exploration opportunities to expand your understanding of the country’s history. As a teacher at a public, or (more likely) private, institution in Cambridge, you will most definitely find plenty of ways to enjoy yourself.

Birmingham. Many university teaching jobs in England are specifically available in Birmingham. This northwest city is one of the country’s largest cities. It is home to striking historical architecture and the city’s infrastructure is characteristic of post-World War II cities that have undergone a full “revamp”. If you’re looking to blow off some steam after a long week, Birmingham delivers, with one of the liveliest bar and club scenes in the country.
