For native English
speakers teaching English online could be a good source of income. With many
people wanting to learn English from other parts of the globe, being able to
speak English fluently could turn into a wonderful money making strategy.
Most of these
English-learning clients come from Asia. They prefer to talk to the
English teacher via video chat. Some of
these English schools are based offline. Others are online.
A lot of native English
speakers are making lucrative income teaching abroad. Countries like
South Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan and the Arab States are huge markets for
native English speakers.
Teachers usually earn
anywhere between $2,000 and $5,000 per month. This is particularly true
in the Arab States.
For Asian-bound English
teachers, the low cost of living in Asia is a huge draw. Also, free
housing, health insurance and plane fares help sweeten the deal. To be
able to travel to Asia free is a huge perk for Native speakers who want to explore
the world.
It is like being paid to
travel. Teaching contracts usually run up to a year. Some teachers renew
their contracts to be able to stay longer. Cultural immersion at its best.
Some of these English
teaching positions abroad require TESOL, TEFL or CELTA certification.
These are short courses offered online or offline. Some schools do not
require certification. But having a certification can be an advantage.
A bachelor's degree is often
required in these jobs. Some may not need teaching experience. But
a teaching experience would give you a distinct advantage.
To be able to find jobs
for English teachers abroad, you need to look into jobsites that specifically
feature these jobs.
Some of these websites
include the following:
Make sure you check out
their requirements before applying. Also, find out what the benefits are
and how much they pay for the job. You could get free accommodation,
airfare, health insurance, work visa, teacher training and teacher materials.
