Do you dream of teaching in another country?

What else would you need to consider?

teachanywhere.com will help you every step of the way

Teaching abroad is a life-changing experience that will help you grow both as a teacher and as a person, but it is not for everyone. When we ask schools around the globe what type of person is best suited to teach abroad, they always answer the same thing - confident, flexible, adaptable and with an outgoing personality!

Moving abroad means relocating yourself and those who rely on you. Financially, teachers who are supporting more than one dependent child often find it difficult to make ends meet and are encouraged to think carefully about their decision. Teaching salaries often reflect the cost of living in that country. However, some teachers need to send money home each month and need to consider their required take home pay, after all taxes and living expenses are paid. Teachers with pets might find that school-provided housing is not suitable and some countries restrict the transport of animals. Some regions do not recognise unmarried partners and discourage alternative lifestyles.

Whatever your personal situation, your teachanywhere.com consultant can help you find out what is the best country, region and position for you.

Quick Reference Work Authorisation Chart

International schools look for international teachers who are not only good educators, but also good travellers. In general, schools look for the following:

• Teacher training from an accredited/recognised university. Most teacher training programmes from the UK, USA, Ireland, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand fall into this category
• For primary, secondary, elementary, middle school and high school teachers, experience teaching native English speakers is usually a requirement
• Flexibility and adaptability
• Complete native-level English fluency is usually required. Knowing the native language of the area in which you are placed is helpful but almost never required
