How to Teach Abroad in Hungary

Prepare to Teach Abroad

Set goals

Choosing the right teaching job in Hungary starts with defining what kind of experience you want.

Decide if you prefer a city or rural teaching environment. City schools offer more resources, while rural settings provide deep cultural immersion.
Clarify your subject or student age group preference. Primary education, English, and music are in especially demand across Hungary.
Know whether you're looking for growth, travel, or career advancement. Your purpose will guide your program search and shape your day-to-day experience.

Understand the benefits

Teaching in Hungary allows you to grow professionally and personally in a culturally rich and affordable European country.

Gain teaching experience in a respected school system. Hungary’s strong academic standards make it ideal for career-minded educators.
Live affordably while enjoying high-quality European life. Salaries stretch further here than in many Western European nations.
Build meaningful relationships with Hungarian students and colleagues. Teachers are valued and often form close connections within their communities.

Things to know

A little preparation goes a long way in making your teaching job in Hungary a smooth and successful experience.

Most positions require TEFL certification or prior experience. Qualified teachers will find more opportunities, especially in primary or international schools.
Housing is inexpensive, but utilities can be costly. Older city apartments are charming but may have higher monthly utility expenses.
Some schools assist with the work visa process. Be sure your passport is valid for at least three months past your planned departure date.

Program: Get Paid to Teach Abroad with a TEFL Certification from ITA

I earned my TEFL certification in 2022. After hard years brought onto the world during the pandemic, I had the opportunity to look deeply at my life and how I wanted to live it. One of the primary desires that continued to pop up was my want to live abroad. I have always wanted to learn about cultures in a more meaningful way than visiting an area for a handful of weeks and leaving it as soon as I gained my footing. I wanted to be immersed in it so thoroughly that I genuinely could say I knew the place well. Signing up with International TEFL Academy has been the best decision I have made in my adult life. ITA provides the tools and networks needed to move abroad successfully. Through ITA, I was able to connect to other like-minded individuals determined to live out their dreams as well. Their Facebook groups and class discussions were great places to link and prepare to move abroad. My favorite part of ITA's online TEFL certification was the thoroughness of lesson planning and gaining tools to teach students effectively. I lead classes with confidence because of how much I learned through ITA. As much as this is an opportunity to grow through experience, it is also a way to help others reach their language goals, and ITA was a great stepping stone to earning my teaching job.

Program: Get Paid to Teach Abroad with a TEFL Certification from ITA

As I finish my Tefl class, I can say that I am happy I finally signed up and am very excited to see what will become of it. I think the classes will prove to be beneficial. Many of the assignments dealt with creating lesson plans. I am able to use these lesson plans once I get a job abroad. I found that aspect of the class to be quite useful. I will already be somewhat prepared for the jobs I aspire to get.
