Teach English in North America

North America can be a highly competitive teaching market, and that is exactly why you should not shy away from the challenge.

Deciding to teach abroad in North America will bring your educational career to a dynamic region of immense diversity and innovation. Think you’re up to it?

I really had a very good learning experience with this course. They answered all my questions patiently and promptly before I joined. The material is good and direct. To have the opportunity to teach for a week with feedback was an enormous plus ! I want to thank Sean and all Maximo Level team. I can’t wait to work on my CV and search job opportunities.

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in North America

Locations

North America is commonly thought of as the region which encompasses Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Combined, North America is home to a population of nearly 500 million citizens.

Canada, while the second largest country on earth by land area, is home to just 33 million of these citizens. Ranking highly in measures of equality, human development, and per capita income, Canada also boasts one of the best education systems in the world and can provide a great model to learn from for aspiring global educators who teach abroad in North America.

On the southern end of the continent lays Mexico, a nation of over 125 million people, making it officially the largest Spanish-speaking country on the planet. Mexico will provide a much different experience teaching abroad in North America than will Canada and the United States, as it is both classified as a Less Developed Country and also forms the northernmost part of Latin America.

Last but not least, it is also possible to teach abroad in North America in the United States. While outsiders often view the United States in the context of its popular culture and geopolitics, coming to the country to teach abroad will expose you to a whole different side of the world superpower. Preview: its education system needs a lot of help!
