- There is no one best country to teach English abroad but here are some you might be interested in!
A TEFL certificate is usually a requirement to become an English language teacher. Even if you decide to go to a country where it is not a requirement, you will still need it for better-paying jobs. I did mine with the TEFL Academy, check it out here: www.tprteaching.com/teflacademy

I've just started my teaching job at a public school in Japan! I'm absolutely loving it 🥰
Just a correction to your video though - for China it's illegal for non-native speakers to work as English teachers. Many schools hire them illegally as other subject teachers or just on business visas etc but DON'T do this as you'd be at huge risk of legal issues and exploitation. Also, avoid recruitment agencies - most of them take a huge cut of your salary and auction you off to the highest bidding school. Go with a government run program or apply directly to schools.
@@tprteaching you're welcome! No, it's been the law for a long time now, and officially there are no exceptions - these sound like recruitment agencies spreading misinformation while behind the scenes they'll be doing something dodgy with the visa.
For China, you have to have a PP from an English native-speaking country like the USA/Australia/South Africa, etc. That doesn't mean you have to be a native speaker, but you have to have a Passport from a country that is an English native speaking country. This means 'native speaker' in China and many other Asian countries.
@AiKaiTe can you please recommend sites where I can apply for jobs in Japan. I have applied for a lot and I never get a response
@@9scompanion I came to Japan through the JET programme - it's a government run program and generally offers the best pay/ benefits compared to the private ALT dispatch companies :)
@@KatiePrescott thank you for your answer. I will check it out if it allows for a non native English speaker like me.

I have MPhil English Literature degree with 3 years experience at university level and 3 years of teaching experience at college level. I'm having TESOL with Bachelor in Education as well. I'm searching for teaching job in Spain, China or any other country.
Greetings from United States! Hello everyone, I love teaching ,and I am in my 50s . You guys inspire me to keep polishing my craft and sharing it with the world. A LIFE LIVED NOT CARING, IS NO LIFE AT ALL. 💕
Yeah . You can work .
I'm looking into this and a bit older than most. Wonder how this is generally viewed and opportunities available abroad not being in my 20s..
Where do you teach?
Fantastic video, very thorough, you came at this from a lot of angles and it cleared a lot up for me, many thanks
Thank you so much 🥰 I'm inspired on this looking forward ♥️
I happen to be in Italy while watching this, you convinced me to stay here longer!
This is so helpful. Thank you so much
Thanks a lot!
Very informative.
I'm really looking forward to your video about best destinations for non-native speakers.
Yes please
I am surprised Vietnam is not on your list it has been the best paid for salary in South East Asia
Connor who did you apply through im keen
I need details on applying in Vietnam
I got my TEFL Certificate now, ready to apply! Thank u for the video!
In which country please did you gey TEFL from??? Am in kenya and i want to get one
Did you get a job?
Thanks for your video. Been in China for 10 years and it’s time to movie on. It seems for the best balance of life and work, Spain it is!
How are the salaries in Spain
You are absolutely right about South Korea because I applied to teach in South Korea on the 14 May 2022 only for them to respond back the very next day to tell me that the South Korea law does not allow non natives to teach English in Korea, by the way I am from Botswana in Africa.
Hey! Where did you apply though?I mean which site?
@luciamika did you find anything yet,any offers?
Am from Kenya,,africa did you manage to get any job outside your country?¿????
This video deserves more views.
. im from Ireland and almost 60 and about to partake on a TEFL course and go to eastern europe. hopefully i will move to prague
Private schools in Spain don't necessarily pay better than language assistant programs because you'll be working longer hours at private schools. You most often make more per hour as a language assistant. Also, it's possible to teach in Spain without a degree if you have EU working rights or if you teach part-time while on a student visa. Spain also has a self-employment visa and a digital nomad visa coming soon!
Hi, Do you work in Spain ?
@@sameng7003 I worked in Spain for 5 years.
can you teach in Spain without right to work in the EU? Like an American?
@@jadler10 you can work as a language assistant in Spain on a student visa. There are a lot of different programs. If you are a ceritified teacher you can look into jobs at international schools. Your school will sponsor your work visa if you are non-EU. These jobs are very competitive.
@@ESLTeacher365 can you apply for Spain residency after working there for 3 years?
Great video! I moved from America to France a year ago to be with my wife and stepson and I’ve been considering teaching English. I’ve thought about teaching online or in person. However I’m so confused as to whether I should do the 120hr TEFL or if I should spend the extra cash and time to obtain the level 5 TEFL.
good video!
Thx so much
Couple of corrections: footage at 8mins is not Thailand. 2nd, Ive been to Costa Rica(stayed 1 month) and I live in Thailand/taught here too. Cost of living in CR is much higher than Thailand.
Hello, why did you leave Costa Rica after only one month?
For Taiwan.... I only know one teacher making $5400 a month. He works 50 hours a week, no holidays and he's been at the school for 10 years. No one else at his school can get that level of pay. Perhaps teachers are paid more at the Taipei American School. To get into this school, you will need teaching experience at international school or public US school system and a friend who already works at that school. I'd say the avg. salary in Taiwan is between $1500 and $2400 per month.
Everywhere requires a degree! :( TEFL not enough. would i be completely restricted to maybe online teaching with cambly?
thanks
In which of these countries a non-native with MA's in Education, Tesol certificate and tons of experience can find a job as ESL teacher?
Hi , thank you so much for your helpful videos . I am a moroccan EFL teacher with TEFL certificate working in public and private school for 5 years now. Can I apply y work in Spain ! If yes . Where , which website , how can I apply ! ? . Thank you so much,🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've been applying for at least 4 or 5 jobs in Japan and the salaries have been between $1400 and $1700 per month. I haven't seen anything higher than $1700 starting. I've applied for a few ALT positions like Interac and Heart and also through ECC. Where are you finding jobs that pay over $2000?
When countries require a Bachelors Degree, does this always refer to a Bachelors Degree in Teaching? I have a Bachelors Degree with Honours in Psychology and am considering pursuing teaching English abroad. I have not been able to see if when sites state 'Bachelor Required' if it is always referencing a Bachelors relating to teaching.
Thank you
Hi
I don't have bachelor degree but am trained teacher. Would like to teach English and mathematics online in primary schools. Can you advice on the process and probably best country to start. From Kenya.
There's a channel called BenTeachesEnglish, and he is way more helpful about the ins and outs about teaching abroad. He lists salaries, why it's not a good idea to live too near the school where you teach, how to get a water tight contract, and more.
I have MPhil English Literature degree with 3 years experience at university level and 3 years of teaching experience at college level. I'm having TESOL with Bachelor in Education as well. I'm searching for teaching job in Spain, China or any other country.
Cambodia also a good option. Low cost of living.
Katrina, are age restrictions for teaching English in Taiwan / Hong Kong or in other countries? It is my understanding that mainland China limits the age of teachers / educators to 55 yrs. Is that correct?
What do you think about Vietnam? To me, it's the up and coming destination in SE Asia.
I you want a colonial expatriate experience largely reminiscent of 20th century, sure Vietnam is an option.
@@ryhk3293 Interesting! What kinds of things did you see there?
Hey love can you please provide websites to apply to teach abroad
Is it possible to teach in korea with a masters degree(in english) but without being a native english speaker?
Who do you contact about the jobs? The embassy?
I m from India. TEFL certified. I have 10 years of experience. Which countries will expect non native speakers.
Do they accept Bachelor Hons degrees for teaching English abroad in Asia? I only have 2 years left to graduate.
Is there a rodent problem is Spain 🇪🇸? I cannot live somewhere with a pest control problem
I surprised you r not a native English speaker but you can still teaching on these list 😮
How is everyone dealing with the high U.S.A. income taxes that us citizens still have to pay overseas? Federal (37%) + North Dakota State (5%) + Social Security and Medicare(15.3%)= 57.3%. I graduate next December. Are they using some type of foreign income tax exclusion loophole?
How are your taxes that high? Are you a millionaire? US tax is progressive, so only people earning over 400k USD per year will be subject that sort of tax.
On an ESL salary, you will probably owe closer to 20% total if you take the standard deduction. You are correct about the foreign-earned income loophole. I believe there is no double taxation for incomes less than $100k or so.
where can i get TEFL?
What countries can I teach in for a non-native, master s degree in English teacher with 4 years experience ?
I am almost finished my Masters of Teaching (TESOL) in Australia. I will be a qualified teacher and was wondering,
If I have a Masters, am a qualified teacher and am registered with the govenment institute of teaching, do I still need a TEFL certificate?
Does anyone know the difference beteeen teaching in China, Japan and Korea? I am thinking of going to one of the three for a year or so in 2023. Please let me know. Thanks all.
This is a little late, but if you have a Master's you definitely want to go to Korea. A Master's in pretty much any subject qualifies you to be an instructor at the university level in Korea. The pay essentially almost doubles, weekly working hours are reduced to about 25 hours, winter and summer vacations are extended by several weeks, you will be interacting with students that have been sorted into majors/aptitudes already, and I was able to negotiate the school into cosigning a three year lease on a BMW. You will enjoy much more social prestige (Korea is a much more Confucian/hierarchical place than either Japan or China so this is important), but depending on your level of engagement and the social attitudes and cultural development of your university, expect to participate in extra work, travel and duty on behalf of the university. This opportunity does not exist for you right out of the gate in Japan and I'm not sure about China. I would not expect high levels of trust or engagement in terms of work responsibility by a Chinese employer.
Thailand, please! welcome
At 10:55 you mistakenly said Thailand instead of Tiawan.
In China it's 2000 minimum to 5000 . What are you talking about?
I don’t have a bachelor degree but I have an associates degree to work with children, currently going back to school and I have my TESOL/Tefel. Is there a place that I can go to with little experience?
Thailand. You only need a bachelors degree in anything and there is a high demand for women teachers.
I live in Jamaica and I am interested in teaching in Dubai
Is TEOFL same as TEFL?
Where the age limit no bar for teacher
Yeah, the Chinese market is not what it used to be. I have witnessed some cowboys coming through in my almost six years here. They're all gone, for the most part, but at the same time, the types of institutions that accepted them in the first place, have all been closed down because of the government's double reduction policy. Education here is super expensive for kids because they're all aiming to get into the top universities after their Gaokao exam. It used to be that extra credits were given for taking additional subjects outside school hours. That led to parents enrolling their children in expensive after-school programs at language centers, but they're disappearing fast.
I'm lucky I'm in a stable school and the perks are good, but not great. I can see China getting more difficult, even after opening up again, rather than easier. I'm settled here and have no plans to move, but I do sometimes fear what might happen down the line if the government makes more changes. If I didn't have family here, it wouldn't be a problem. There are other places to go, so even though I really love living here, the uncertainty wouldn't be good if you plan on making this a long-term thing.
How can you teach english when you do not know how to pronounce the words?
I am form india 🇮🇳 english garmar and english spiking help mam
Japan is currently closed to internationals so it's not very accurate for 2022 unfortuntately :(

@@KatiePrescott i am currently working as a physics teacher. So to work in Japan as a science teacher, can u tell me the eligibility? Like whether I want to clean JPLT 5 exam
Currently in China, I might not suggest coming here until the zero COVID policy goes away.
