Find Gap Year English Teaching Jobs Abroad

TEFL / TESOL Gap Year Teaching Job Search Guidance from International TEFL Academy: As you well know, it is hard enough to find a good job these days in your own community, so you can imagine how challenging it might be to master the ins and outs of job markets halfway around the world, in say, Korea or Spain. That is why International TEFL Academy provides comprehensive, lifetime job search guidance to all students and graduates encompassing all of the expertise and insight you will need to navigate job markets around the globe.

Whether you want to teach in Santiago, Seoul or St. Petersburg, The International TEFL Academy will show you how you can take advantage of job opportunities that match your goals and qualifications.

Basics about the hiring process in different teaching job markets around the world.

# 1: There are typically 200,000 English teaching jobs each year around the world
# 2: Typically 50% of the English teachers leave their job after their contract is over, thus leaving approximately 100,000 new positions available each year. It is a revolving door of teachers coming and going
# 3: Each country has a typical season for jobs finishing and new teachers starting. Knowing the cycles, seasons, procedures and requirements is the key to finding thousands of English teach openings.

Do I get to pick a certain country, or am I just sent to one?

Based on your own goals and qualification, you decide where you want to teach! Some TEFL / TESOL graduates have their hearts set on living and teaching in Madrid, Buenos Aires or Shanghai; others are willing just to experience any destination that is new and different. You may teach for one year in Spain and then one year in Italy, or one year in China and then one year in Thailand. Many newly certified teachers spend a year teaching in Asia saving money and then move on to Europe or Latin America the next year. The opportunities are endless – it’s just up to you to make the effort, follow our guidance and pursue your dreams.
