TEACHING ENGLISH ABROAD
Get Paid to Travel
If you are a recent Canadian university graduate dreaming of traveling the world, but you lack the funds to follow these dreams, you might want to consider teaching English abroad. Then you can travel and get paid to do it. Many countries such as South Korea and Japan hire recent university graduates from Canada to teach English to elementary and high school students overseas.
What qualifications do I need to teach English abroad?
Many countries require only a Bachelor’s Degree in any subject – not a teaching degree, so you can apply for these jobs even if you have not trained as a teacher. These teaching jobs usually require applicants to get a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate, which is available from a number of providers, and can be completed in as little as 6 weeks. Each country has its own requirements, so you need to research the qualifications for destinations where you want to work. There are many recruiting agencies that can provide you with assistance in your search for a position teaching English abroad.
What do I need to do to apply to teach English overseas?
The application process will vary by country, but generally you will need to provide proof that you have a university degree and you may also be asked to provide a certified criminal record check from the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police).
