If you've been dreaming of living a life of teaching, travel and adventure, you're in the right place. On this channel, I share how to teach English abroad or online, step by step. I've taught thousands of students both online and abroad in 6 countries!
I also review TEFL courses, tools, and tech for teachers. Not sure which TEFL course is right for you? Watch one of my honest reviews.
My goal is to help you teach abroad or online so you can travel and explore more. I know how overwhelming getting started can be, so I've created this channel to guide you on your teaching journey.

How strong does your second language need to be? Im a native English speaker but im assuming i need to speak the countries main language. Some offer classes once you are there but wouldn't I need a certain proficy before travelling there?
You are being hired for your ability to teach English and in your case, your native accent, so it's not a requirement to speak the language. The only time this isn't true is if you are teaching in a bilingual program or school. That being said, it's beneficial for your day to day life to at least know the basics. I recommend getting a language partner or private tutor on Preply.
It will depend on the type of school you are at plus your experience and qualifications. There are some general figures available online on sites like GoAbroad and GoOverseas.
There was a law change in August 2021 which caused the major Chinese based companies to shut down. Some of those companies have changed where they are based or no longer serve Chinese students are are opening up again (aka VIPKid)
@@inspiration12415 You'll want to consider where you want to teach as different exams are more popular in some countries than others. The main ones are IELTS, IELTS Academic, PTE, TOEFL and Cambridge.
WOW, the old style Composition book motif gave me flashbacks to The Good Old Days! My final exams as an undergraduate were 4-hour Write ✍️ For Your Life exercises using those thick booklets.
It depends! I taught with just my teaching license for 7 years until a school required me to get one. If you haven’t taught ESL before, I recommend getting one as the methods will be different than teaching the subject you’re certified in.
Hi Jamie, most TEFL courses focus on teaching abroad but I'm interested in teaching 1:1 as a freelance tutor and need help with 1:1 lesson preparation, etc. Which of the TEFL courses would you recommend that focus on online teaching and providing tools for using online platforms for teaching ( e.g ZOOM, Thanks a lot!)
Great video but I recommend if a person cannot get into JET or a similar program then don’t teach in Japan. The horror stories are true. Sadly even as a JET you are not safe but at least you are paid better than most. There is so much work place harassment, low wages, discrimination, over work and exploitation. Please don’t come if it’s not JET.
I am teacher from India • i want to teach in abroad. I prefer to go for the classes in CELTA. If i am certified will i be placed with a secure teaching job?
You also need a bachelor’s degree to teach in most countries abroad. Also, as an Indian teacher you are considered a non-native speaker. This means that there may be some additional requirements (depends on the country). CELTA does not offer job placement.
Hi Jamie I am planing to move as ALT in Japan. Joining TEFL for 120hr is it a good decision. Please recommend me. I have master degree and almost native level english speaking.
Hey there! enjoying your videos! I'm from the uk with a British passport, I have been searching for a Tefel company, I have ruled alot of them out but I'm now looking at TTA, would you say this company is a safe option and a good one to go with? I'd be looking to teach abroad and online eventually becoming freelance. Thankyou! 🙏
I have an Australian and American passport but I was born in America 🇺🇸. I got an Australian citizenship by birth because both of my parents came from Australia to the USA
Hi, Jamie. I saw a Tiktok video posted by a fellow Filipino. A comment said that the poster applied to NALCAP. Does this mean I am eligible to apply to the program? Thank you for the response. 😊
How can you absolutely pick Galicia? In that instance, would you recommend any job boards where a person can simply apply to schools in Galicia without going through any of the programs
@@user-zp1vw6pq3w If you don't have EU working rights, it's not really possible to just apply to schools. Instead, you can get a student visa with working rights and then apply directly to schools in the city where you want to teach. Otherwise, the best option is to go with programs that place in Galicia and request it if you are non-EU.

Hello. I have taught English for 4 years now. I want to teach English abroad, do you think TTA is a good option for me? Or are the 20h practice necessary? Thanks for the informative video ❤️
Currently residing in China as a test prep instructor at an international school. I have 20 years experience, PGCE, Ma Edu, TESOL. My Niche is IB PYP as well as all Cambridge exams that follow the CEFR reference from KET to IELTS. My goal is to have a consistent online base of students that I could assist with. The issue is that although I am highly qualified, I do not have any "connections" to get students. The current online platforms (VIP Kids to name one) are tailored to teaching oral speaking skills to ESL students for a very low income. What am I missing?
With all your experience you should be freelancing and not working for companies. You don’t need connections to get students - instead you need a marketing strategy backed by market research. I recommend joining my upcoming live workshop next week if you want to learn more.
