I agree. Time goes so fast, and trips and travel stick in the memory so much more than the mundane.

Thanks! :)

Happy to help! The UK certainly isn't all bad. I much prefer it for business, the political system, and people's general attitudes and belief systems. I love a lot about the culture of the U.K....BUT, my health and relationships take a bit of a hit. Make sure to visit both. Thanks for stopping by Tarek!

Not sure if you already made a video about this, but can you talk about how to actually land a teaching job in Spain with a TEFL certification? Just watched another video of yours about salary + pay, super helpful!

Appreciate it. Thank you :)

You have a good chance! With your qualifications - a Master’s in English, Bachelor’s in Education, and TEFL - you’re well-prepared. Many non-native speakers successfully join the Spanish Language Assistant Program. Best of luck! 🇪🇸🌟

@@LewisGreenaway thanks for the reply. Could you please share the link to apply.

@@shaiksalman2841 just google Language and Culture Assistants Spain Application, you'll find it. CIEE site.

@@LewisGreenaway ok sir, thanks for the information.

I met a fair few 60+ TEFL teachers working between 12-16 hours a week. A nice option.

@@LewisGreenaway excellent. Thank you!

That’s just a regional English accent? 😂 Regardless, mistakes are fine. Luckily we live in a world where you don’t need to be Roger Federer to coach tennis. Thanks for stopping by 🙏🏼

Absolutely, depends on lifestyle...but I found the outdoor lifestyle, because of the weather, made cheap or free things really fun. Subscribe, I'll be dropping A LOT of specific Spain videos :)

Build a CV, talk a good game, locate as many academies as possible via google maps (the smaller the better), look the part, walk in and introduce yourself as someone looking for work. I would do a course first though or get some experience. No degree? Get a CELTA. Degree? Get an online TEFL. Not advice, do your own research!

Oddly, International schools and private schools have less red tape than state schools. They often like hiring experts of an area regardless of teaching qualification. Position yourself as an expert in TEFL, you'll be appealing. Or jump the queue of qualification by going straight for a DELTA or DipTESOL after a couple of years experience.

Absolutely! I wish I started mine much earlier.

I've been there! There is no need to reinvent the wheel, coursebooks are great starting points for us as TEFL teachers. Before asking a student to buy a coursebook, you need to know what book you enjoy teaching! Then, test it with the student, and if it is going well (not too easy, not too difficult), ask them to buy the coursebook. But also, most coursebooks come with a workbook (you need to pay for this separately), these are fantastic, as students can work through them independently, which is perfect. You can teach 1-1's from the coursebook, and set follow up work using the workbook. Personally, my two favourite series are: Outcomes by National Geographic, and Gateway. 'Your Space' by Hobbs and Keddle is good for beginners (although it's aimed at 15 and under). Once you've found a book you really enjoy teaching, I recommend investing in buying yourself a copy in Elementary, Intermediate, Upper-Intermediate levels. Search online and the books may offer free samples to try out! Hope this helps.

Employee. One academy, all my classes were at the academy itself.

Somewhere in 2017.

Start by getting some decent items on your teaching CV. Voluntary positions etc, I'll have to do a video on this.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this topic, my conclusion: It's a total crap fest out there! I followed the accreditation of a lot of TEFL courses, and it turns out a lot of these 'accreditation' companies are also just a bag of nothing...and the courses themselves are also shocking in detail. If you don't have a degree, my advice is to play it safe and get a CELTA. If you do have a degree, choose a TEFL course that shows you real teaching and practical strategies. I've actually got a free one if you're interested, it's in it's BETA stage but it's of good quality. Message me on Instagram if you want the link for the free version... @lewisgreenaway_

Hi Kenny, from my experience, it isn't that schools and academies require a BA, it is usually more about being granted a work visa in said country. I'm not familiar with BSc, but I'm assuming it's the same level of qualification as a BA, which would mean you probably wouldn't face a hurdle there. I'm less familiar with Latin America, but certainly in Spain, you could go the route of doing the Language Assistant Program, allowing you to get into the country, get experience, and bypass a lot of excess. I can only imagine that Latin America is even easier. The truth is, most English teachers around the world suck, standing out isn't too hard. As a side note, what type of videos or content would be helpful for you as someone getting into this world of TEFL (please be as specific or vague as you want)? Thanks, Lewis.

I said it's possible to live on that amount because I personally did it (I'm not lying lol). I'm talking to early 20's people here who are cool with slumming it. I'm vary aware you can make a lot more than this.
