If you want to explore our world and enjoy
helping people, ELT could be the industry for you.
A New Challenge.
Moving abroad into the unknown is sure to
get the heart pumping. As you rise to
the challenges of finding your way around your new city, shopping in strange
surroundings or figuring out how to get wifi, you will feel a sense of
accomplishment out of all proportion to such mundane tasks.

Job satisfaction
Whether it’s in public schools, language academies,
companies or even private homes you have a unique chance to get to know,
understand and help local people. Along the way you will meet characters you
would never otherwise have been exposed to, some of these will become good
friends.
Flexible working
It’s time to leave behind the 9-5 mentality.
Flexibility is certainly a key attribute TEFL teachers must have in bucket
loads. You may teach at 8:00 in the morning or 20:00. Remember variety is the
spice of life and enjoy!
Friendly students
You will benefit from a job working and
helping people every day. If you consider yourself a ‘people person’ look no
further. BUT always remember: it’s the students’ lesson not the
teachers’! You don’t always have to be the expert but you do have to exploit
different parts of your personalities with different groups.
Compare and contrast
Flexibility doesn’t just extend to
personalities or lesson types. The new teacher must also be culturally
adaptable as they discover that ‘normal’ is a truly subjective matter. Embrace the strangeness of your new country
and learn more about your own home as you go!
