Teaching English one to one - what are the options?

If you particularly want to teach English on a one to one basis, consider contacting the vast number of language schools which operate worldwide to find English teaching jobs. There will almost certainly be a school near you but you are not limited to staying with a local organisation, if you are good, many companies will take you on even if you are a number of miles away.

Finding posts to teach English abroad are much the same, contact organisations and language schools within the area you wish to live. Not all one to one English teaching will be at home, some schools offer it at the school and you may be lucky enough to find an English language school which will employ you, help you with accommodation and find you pupils who only require one to one tutoring.

Be aware that you will not earn as much as you would if you organised the student yourself, the language school has overheads to pay and costs to cover and so you will only get a relatively small sum for teaching, and for hosting if you do both.

A good language school will insist on you having a TEFL qualification and some will ask for experience too. It will depend on you to sell yourself enough to get on the first rung of the ladder but generally speaking, there are always sufficient students for good teachers and so you will not be short of work particularly if you specialise in areas such as medicine or engineering.

Look out for tefl teaching jobs through forums, by contacting language schools and by asking people you already know who have some experience.

If you want to source the students yourself to give you a higher return, remember that if you are in the EU it will be fairly straightforward for a student to come over to you but if you are expecting students to come from countries which require visa’s then that is difficult. To start with, stick with EU visitors and look later at other countries. You will have to have certain accreditations and be registered with certain organisations which is not straightforward and requires quite considerable expense.

There are now 27 countries in the EU, most of who can travel without too much paperwork of difficulty.
