The thing is, there are millions of students who are eager to learn and grow their way into becoming the next pioneers of tomorrow, but there are not nearly enough teachers to sufficiently meet the needs of the ever-growing student population.

Requirements for Teaching Abroad


Requirements of teaching abroad vary from country to country. Some may demand a background experience in teaching, while others may not. Here is a short list of requirements that are frequently asked by many:

1) Teaching Experience

There are a number of schools that look to hire certified experienced teachers. This is especially true for schools in Singapore and Arab Emirates. But thousands of schools in countries like China, Spain, and Turkey don’t mind hiring inexperienced teachers, as long as they hold a TEFL certification to their name.

2) College Degree

Having a college degree is certainly a requirement for many schools in most countries. However, degree requirements still vary from school to school. Therefore, those without a four-year degree can still get a teaching position in some countries like Mexico, Costa Rica, Argentina, Russia, and China.

3) Age Requirements

People of all ages can teach English. But some may find it harder than others to teach professionally. For instance, teachers below the age of 20 will find it more difficult to earn a full-time employment. For teachers under this age bar, working part-time or working as a volunteer may serve as a good teaching experience to level up their reputation as English teachers.

There are millions of students who want to learn how to speak English, how to play music, and how to read. The world needs more teachers like you. Give the world a helping hand and teach the present generation how to become good pioneers of the future. More power to you!
