If you’re ever dreamt of demystifying unusual holiday traditions for confused foreigners (“Why do you wear green on St. Patrick’s Day?” or “What’s the point of stuffing on Thanksgiving?”) or being the resident expert on the best TV shows available on Netflix in your home country, here’s your chance because overseas English teaching jobs give you the opportunity to do it all.

Every day is an adventure while teaching English abroad. You’ll meet cool people from all walks of life, impact an English learner’s future in bright ways, and be able to jetset to a neighboring city or country whenever next week’s lesson plans are wrapped up.

Even if you can’t explain how to use the infinitive form of the verb when referring to a current action (gerunds???) and Chaucer still doesn’t make sense, you can still teach English overseas. Wanna know a little secret? You’ll likely still know and understand wayyy more than your students as a TEFL teacher abroad!

Here are five teaching overseas jobs hiring now. Go go go!

But first—Get TEFL certified

Let’s get real. The secret to finding legit—and well paid—overseas teaching jobs is to have the qualifications necessary to do the job right. That means getting your TEFL certificate in conjunction with your teaching job abroad OR before teaching abroad altogether. Here’s a quick rundown of what you need to know before getting TEFL certified:

  • There are different program arrangements. You can do a course in-person, online, or a combination. Find the right program for your goals and availability.
  • The most popular and basic TEFL certification is the 120 Hour Course. The 120 Hour TEFL Course fulfills the majority of TEFL employers’ minimum qualifications and includes 120 hours of accredited online training.
  • The best TEFL course is the 300 Hour Level 5 Advanced Diploma. The 300 Hour Advanced Diploma includes training in IELTS, Business English, teaching TOEIC, and teaching young learners, preparing you for just about any job on the market.
  • You can specialize. A la carte specialties include teaching English online, teaching for IELTS, and more. Earn these certifications on top of your basic TEFL course to have more focused opportunities for teaching overseas jobs that fit your interests.
