Five Great Reasons to Teach English Overseas!

Everyone has their own reasons for wanting to teach overseas. Here are five of mine:

1. It is a great way to travel and see parts of the world you otherwise might never see.

2. You will get to experience a new culture and perhaps even learn a new language.

3. You will get out of your comfort zone and learn how to function in a new environment with new cultural rules and expectations.

4. You will make many new friends and meet interesting and important people in the country where you are teaching.

5. All of the above look good on a resumé (Curriculum Vitae) and 'international experience' is a valuable asset to have when applying for any job back home later.

Bonus: Like me, you may meet someone special. You never know!

My advice? Go for it. Click here to get started!

Amaze Yourself - Teach Overseas - Latest Jobs!



When someone suggested to me (a long time ago) that I should think about teaching overseas, I rejected the idea. I wasn't sure facing classes of kids all day long, day after day was for me. Then I took a TESOL course and for the heck of it started applying. A couple weeks later, I got a call about 7:00 PM. It was from a school principal in Jakarta, Indonesia. He wanted me to start immediately. I accepted and my wife and I began talking about travel arrangements.


We went to bed about 11:00 PM and at 11:30, the phone rang again. This time it was a recruiter in Thailand. I said I had already accepted a position in Indonesia. He pleaded with me to change my mind and come to Thailand. In the end, I agreed. (My wife being Thai helped to persuade me.) I had to call the school in Indonesia back and give them the bad news.

Twenty-five years later, fourteen of which I taught in Thailand and I am really glad I did. I found out that I loved teaching. It broadened my mind, my experiences, my friendships and my education. I went from having a BBA to an MA TESOL, and finally my doctorate. For me learning has become a lifelong passion and I thing teachers learn as much as their students do. It is also satisfying to watch students whom you have taught develop over the years.

Here are the latest overseas jobs as of October 14, 2013. The number of teaching positions after each country is shown in [  ]'s.



Belgium[1], Brunei[1], Bulgaria[1], Cambodia[1], Chile[1], China[38], Czech Republic[3], France[2], Georgia[1], Germany[2], Greece[1], Hong Kong[1], Indonesia[3], Iraq[1], Italy[22], Japan[3], Kazakhstan[4], Kosovo[1], Kuwait[1], Kyrgyzstan[1], Libya[5], Malaysia[3], Mexico[1], Oman[1], Poland[2], Portugal[3], Russian Federation[8], Saudi Arabia[19], South Korea[4], Spain[35], Taiwan[1], Thailand[3], Tunisia[1], Turkey[5], United Arab Emirates[1], United Kingdom[13], United States[1], Vietnam[5], Worldwide[13]

Remember, this is but a tiny percentage of what's really out there. Here's your chance to make a difference to hundreds, perhaps thousands of eager students, as a teacher of English...and who knows, like me, many other subjects.

Put some excitement in your life!



In the words of Larry the Cable Guy, if you really want to change what you are doing day after boring day to something exciting, now is the time to ‘get ‘er done'! Schools around the world are hiring teachers. Here is a chance to see another part of the world, learn about a different culture – perhaps learn a new language and do something you have always wanted to do.



15 years ago, I had the same goal. I wanted to go to Thailand and discovered that the best way to travel and get paid (Wow!) is to teach. Not only will the overseas school usually pay for your travel, they'll pay a salary, benefits, sometimes a housing allowance; often even language lessons, Internet access and more.



So where do you start if this is what you'd like to do? Go to our website and register for our TESOL course. If you have a degree (in any discipline), TESOL is the qualification you need to teach overseas in just about any country.



If you don't have a degree, go to the website anyway and email me. I'll help you get the degree you need.



Here are the latest teaching jobs from around the world as of October 7, 2013. Bear in mind that this represents only a small portion of all the jobs out there.



Current Database Status (country/jobs):

Australia[2], Belgium[1], Brunei[1], Chile[1], China[42], Czech Republic[3], France[1], Georgia[1], Germany[2], Greece[1], Hong Kong[1], Indonesia[7], Iraq[1], Italy[18], Japan[3], Kazakhstan[3], Kosovo[1], Kuwait[1], Kyrgyzstan[1], Libya[2], Malaysia[3], Oman[2], Poland[3], Portugal[1], Russian Federation[7], Saudi Arabia[16], Slovakia[2], South Korea[3], Spain[40], Taiwan[1], Thailand[2], Tunisia[1], Turkey[4], United Arab Emirates[1], United Kingdom[13], United States[1], Vietnam[5], Worldwide[20]
