Demand for Teaching English Abroad

During and after the course we’ll assist you in finding jobs all throughout the world. There is still a high demand for English teachers in Central/Eastern Europe. As many of the former Soviet countries have joined the European Union there is an increased demand for learning English. 

Western Europe is also a very popular destination to work. We have numerous contacts for English language schools all throughout Europe so you’ll have plenty of countries to choose from. Non EU citizens will have better luck finding work in the major cities in Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Turkey. It can be more difficult though to obtain a work permit in some Western European countries. We have had several non EU citizens go on to teach in Germany and obtain a working permit and visa. Regardless of the difficulties obtaining working papers plenty of our non-EU graduates have also gone on to teach in Spain and Italy.

The demand for English teachers in Asia very high. You can easily find jobs in China, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, or Korea. The salaries in Japan, Taiwan and Korea are above average, allowing you to save quite a bit of money. Many teachers flock to these countries in order to pay off student loans and credit card bills.

The Middle East offers quite a few opportunities for TEFL Certified teachers too. Like Korea and Taiwan a teacher can save a significant amount of money here. Usually the requirements are a university degree and a TEFL Certificate. In some countries previous teaching experience is preferred, but we’ve known people to go on to Oman, Yemen and Saudi Arabia after receiving their TEFL certificate. The founders of TEFL Worldwide worked in the United Arab Emirates for a couple of years and were able to establish quite a savings.

Several positions for teaching English abroad are also available in South and Central America, especially Mexico. A teacher can expect to earn enough to live comfortably and to enjoy the pace of life.

EFL positions are also available in many major cities in the United States. Though requirements differ from state to state in the US, it is possible to obtain work in an ESL branch of an American junior college, University or English language school.
