Take a gap year and teach in Asia. Combining an enormous population, a deep-rooted commitment to education and widespread economic prosperity, Asia is far-and-away the largest market on the globe for English language instruction. Nearly half of all English teaching opportunities can be found here as tens of thousands of teachers are employed each year in Japan, China, Taiwan, and South Korea. In addition, newly ascendant Southeast Asian “Economic Tigers” like Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia represent some of the fastest growing job markets on Earth.
Steeped in history, deep-rooted cultures and exquisite natural beauty, Asia also offers some of the most lucrative opportunities in the world as a typical native-speaking English teacher with a TEFL/TESOL Certification from International TEFL Academy can expect to save 30%-50% of their salary after expenses.
Some points about working in Asia:
* In Korea, English teachers typically can save between $10,000 and $15,000 a year after expenses, while in Japan and Taiwan, savings often range from $5,000 to $8,000 annually. You can also save a substantial amount of your salary in many Southeast Asian countries like Thailand and Vietnam, which offer alluring combinations of culture, cuisine, history and natural beauty.
* A four-year degree is typically required (though not always in Thailand and China, or in developing countries like Cambodia), and teachers from native English speaking countries are strongly preferred.
* Most positions in developed Asian countries like Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China, are obtained by interviewing in advance from your home country, so most teachers have a job lined up before departing for the region.
* Asia offers more opportunities to teach children than any other region in the world.
