Become a TEFL teacher and change your career for the better.

Career changes can be difficult to organise if you are not sure which path to take. Teachers today are often tired of poor behaviour and lack of discipline within the classroom. If you have a profession already such as teaching, nursing, the sciences, engineering, the arts and other areas which may be of interest to students wishing to learn, lean towards specialising in these subjects first.

If you apply your areas of expertise first and look at work related to teaching people who are interested in your subject, it’s much easier to teach people if you have similar interests and hobbies and you will be able to share your knowledge and enthusiasm with your student.

Also, TEFL teaching is not limited to class studies and although more rare, one to one situations do come available from time to time.

There are hundreds of companies worldwide who operate with newly qualified as well as experienced TEFL trained people and if you are well trained and know your subject, it will not be difficult to find suitable placements.

If you have a nursing degree or knowledge of nursing, look for work within this area there are always companies looking to find ways of improving foreign speaking nurses English and who better to teach them than someone who has had a career in nursing.

Ask around for TEFL teaching jobs, who do you know who has been abroad working recently? Ask what they thought of the company they went through, did they work over the hours they were paid, did they get paid holidays and how many weeks? Did they get accommodation with the job or did they have to find their own and what was it like, how expensive was it and so on.
