What do TESOL Teachers do?

TESOL teachers teach English to speakers of other languages. The demand for TESOL teachers is huge, and varies from country to country, city to city. Generally, opportunities for TESOL teachers include:

• Language Schools
  Children and adults around the world attend English classes (usually conversational) in private language schools. Classes are usually about an hour long, held once or twice a week for each group of students, but this varies. In our course we discuss the benefits and points to look for when teaching at franchise schools and private language schools. Language schools are usually the most comfortable and supportive environments for new TESOL teachers to get started.
  
  
• Primary Schools, High Schools, Colleges & Universities
  The need for "native English" teachers in the regular school systems around the world highly varies. For those who already have a teaching certification, adding a TESOL certificate to that will open many doors for you. However, in many countries the need is so great that anyone with a TESOL certificate has access to many fabulous opportunities as well.
  
  Let us tell you what to expect and how to find these types of jobs.
  
  
• In-company or "Business" Classes
  The demand for English in Business is massive! Many English teachers land great opportunities to teach one or two-hour lessons once or twice a week in businesses. While you don’t need to have a background in business to teach business students, our online elective "Teaching Business English" is a great way to both prepare yourself and make yourself more marketable as you look for opportunities to supplement your income and get involved in your community.
  
  
• Private Tutoring
  If you have spent some time in a non-English speaking country, you may have noticed that many of the locals are very eager to practice their English with native English speakers. No matter their motivations, you will doubtless come across individuals who are interested in paying for your attention and time one-on-one so they can advance their English skills.

• Get Higher Paid Jobs and Provide Better Lessons in the Classroom: It is increasingly more difficult today to find good quality teaching positions overseas if you do not have a TESOL qualification at a minimum. Gone are the days when any 'backpacker' who spoke English could land a high-paying teaching job. Overseas schools and students now demand that teachers have some basic training so they can provide quality lessons with confidence and experience.
  
  
• Qualified Trainers: All Teach International trainers are university educated and have extensive academic credentials and overseas teaching experience.
  
  
• Job Search Support: Ongoing guidance, support and information on the job opportunities worldwide continue to be provided long after you graduate from your course. Graduates have ongoing access to the job database, recruitment service, discussion forums, and country guides.
  
  
• Support Network: Teach international has a graduate network and encourages trainers and students to keep in touch with fellow students and trainers after graduation. Graduates often contact each other for recommendations, guidance and advice.
  
  
• Practical: The intensive in-class component of our International TESOL course provides authentic and hands-on learning experiences that prepare students for a variety of classroom situations. We give students a 'how to' guide to classroom management and designing creative and dynamic lessons for the ESL classroom.
  
  
• Convenient: The delivery of our TESOL course is convenient for our students. Through the use of modern technology, students are able to complete most of the course online – allowing them to design a study schedule that suits them. This delivery method also allows us to offer our course at such a competitive price.
  
  
• Study to Suit Your Needs: Teach International takes a step-by-step approach to TESOL learning, with all customers commencing their study at the Foundation level. Higher level courses are also available after the Foundation in TESOL course has been completed and qualifications can be upgraded through Teach International at a later date from anywhere in the world!
