How to Teach Abroad in Multiple Countries

Prepare to Teach Abroad

Set Goals

Teaching abroad isn’t just about the students (though they’re great). It’s also about you. You don’t need a ten-step plan, but a few intentions can shape your experience in unexpected and worthwhile ways.

  • Build real relationships. Connect with students and coworkers beyond the classroom. Learn names, notice personalities, and create trust. It’ll make teaching smoother and more rewarding.
  • Strengthen cross-cultural communication. Set an intention to understand and adapt to cultural differences in tone, gestures, and classroom norms. Small shifts can make a big difference.
  • Establish a teaching rhythm. Give yourself the first few weeks to find what works. Routines take time, but aim to feel steady and confident by the end of month one.

Understand the benefits

You’ll walk into this job thinking you’re just teaching English. You’ll walk out with a lot more.

  • You’ll learn to adjust, fast. Teaching abroad means figuring things out on the fly. What works in one classroom might flop in another. You’ll get better at reading the room, staying flexible, and finding new ways to solve problems.
  • Culture becomes part of your routine. From your morning commute to grabbing groceries, everyday moments become part of the learning. That quiet, steady exposure teaches you more than any textbook could.
  • Personal growth sneaks up on you. Some days are challenging. Others are amazing. Either way, you’re building confidence, independence, and patience just by showing up.

Things to know

You’ll figure out plenty once you’re there, but a few things are better to know early.

  • Qualifications and certifications - Many countries require a TEFL, TESOL, or CELTA. A bachelor’s degree is often needed too, though it doesn’t always have to be in education or English.
  • Accommodation and costs - Some programs include housing. If not, plan for rent, food, transit, and other living expenses so you’re not stressed about money once you're there.
  • Cultural preparation - Get to know the country’s customs, culture, and school system. A little prep goes a long way in helping you settle in faster.
