If you are looking for a way to travel and work overseas, then TEFL/TESL is an obvious path. There are teachers from the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand working as English teachers in almost every country in the world. Hundreds of thousands of young people have used teaching English as a means to see the world and understand other cultures.

And even in native-English-speaking countries, the demand for learning English is high: for example, in the UK, there are hundreds of ELT schools that gain most of their student intake from overseas visitors combining lessons with travel – from young learners visiting with a school for a week to professionals learning business English for their job development. And in the USA, teaching people to speak English accounts for almost half of all adult education!

This site will show you how you can work in English language teaching: if you are looking for a stable, long term career; to give something back to your community or to the rest of the world through voluntary work; or a good way to pay for your round-the-world adventure, this site will explain how to do it through teaching English.
