Where can I teach English as a non-native speaker 

OMG..What a good video. Thank you a lot for this motivation.. I am Brazilian and I am teaching English in Turkey and now I want to try to teach online too..

Hey! Thank you for that. I'm currently at university in Brazil and I have been studying English since I was ten. I have been working as an English teacher for 3 years now, and everyone always says I have what it takes to be a successful teacher. My dream has always been to live abroad, I dream about Europe since I was a little girl, and it would be the best realization living there one day. I have chosen this profession with all my heart. However, it is so overwhelming and hard to teach in other countries. I don't have the citizenship or the UE passport. I'm only 21 years old and I hope one day I can achieve my goals. I will come back to this comment 5 years from now and tell you I did it. I'll make you proud, future me, no matter what it takes.

Thank you for bringing up this topic!

Thank you so much for this video 🙏

Thank you so much for what you do!

Thank you so much for the insight! It figures I actually stand a chance as an English teacher even though I am a non-native speaker

Such a valuable information... So happy that I found your channel. Best luck for your future videos :)

Thanks so much, this really motivated me

Impressive and informative video. Thanks a lot.👍

Absolutely! You are an answered prayer! I often wonder why they will train you but then think you are not good enough to teach in some areas

Thank you, it helped a lot.

Thanks a lot for this great video. It feels as though this video was made just for me. I just stumbled on your channel an hour ago, and it's like an answer to my prayer. For weeks now I had been making researches about schools that hire non native English speaker in South Korea and Taiwan, but one of the prerequisites is that one must be a native speaker to teach there. It's been really discouraging. I am Nigerian and I obtained my Masters degree TCSOL from China, so I know China definitely does not hire non native Speakers of English to teach English. I am currently working on enrolling for TESOL/TEFL.

Great job, man!

Thank you!

I’m so glad I found your channel!!! As a non-native with a TEFL certificate, I Was getting discouraged!!! Thank God there’s hope!!!🙏🏻

God bless you . U are doing an incredible job.

Good on you mate!

Thank you so much for this video. Everyone was telling me, "it is not that easy, so stick with your own country", and destroying my self-esteem however, this video brightened my day!

Quite interesting.Thanx a lot🥰

Simply Great!

Hello professor Thank you so much for your priceless advice and interesting guidance. I love your way of teaching and excellent explanation. I really appreciate your job. I wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity. Your Student from Algeria.

I took a French class in California, USA from a native of Germany.

Thanks. I was worried after getting TEFL. where to apply !!😀

Very informative.. thank you

You explain in an interesting way ,one likes to listen to you 😊

Your video has given me a bit of hope, thank you so much. But I have one additional question - I have recently obtained my BA in linguistics (English+ German) and in October I am starting my Masters in the same field. Would it be as easy for me to land a job as a teacher abroad? Should I start from volunteering? PS I already started my TESOL course. Thank you for answering.

AMAZING video! This is the channel I've been looking for. As a native South-African online tutor, many online companies regard us as "non-native" speakers. Thank you so much, you are doing a service to many!

Thank you for this information. I hope I'd meet you in person one day.

Thanks!!!! God bless you :D

Wow, this video is a gem💎

Thank you very much for the encouraging video! I am going to enroll for a TEFL course in Vietnam and as for the requirements for non native speaker teachers there are many confusing information online. I have done my BA in English literature but I do not have an updated IELTS score from the recent years, do I need to have a IELTS certificate of a particular score or a C1 from british council or anything else? Or just a TEFL certificate would be enough to start applying for the job. Thank you in advance.

I did enjoy it. It's the best so ever

I live and work in Canada. There are tons of ESL jobs in Vancouver and Toronto, and being a native is not a requirement.

Downloaded the free pdf thanks

Amazing video

WOW, thanks for the video. As a non native speaker and an English teacher, it's so nice to hear those words about encouragement and possibilities for non native speakers. I have taught in Russia and China. Now thinking about Vietnam. Always thought that I need an alternative profession because as a non native speaker, the chances of getting hired are lower. But your words really encourage me and thanks for that!

Helpful 👍

Thank you

Very interesting

Thank you for the valuable information. But I can't reach your website. Its says that it's currently not working.

Please guide what is best celta or tefl

1st time here Thanks for the information What would you guys say About teaching online But being a South African 😕

Thank you for the video but none of the links work for me.

I'm an Italian national and in my experience many schools and employees prefer native speakers only or 2 years experience, but if you don't have experience enough and they don't allow you to get your experience how can you apply for jobs?

Can’t see the link with that list of the schools

Thanks

Very helpful info...how can i reach you? got some questions

The link of e-book is not worrking out?, is there update version of this topic?

Thank u

Very encouraging . I was getting a little bogged down being a non-native speaker from India , thought I wasted my time and energy getting TEFL certified . Thanks a ton for this video .

I would like to join a forum of teachers to teach english . H ow can do that?

Firts of all thanks for sharing this video and greetings from Mexico. I can't open the link for the e-book TEFL jobs as a non-native speaker you uploaded. I tried using two different browsers already. Do you know what might be the problem? It shows a lock icon next to the web address after I copy and paste it in my browser.

I can't access the website :(

Hello sir Thanks for this video sir. It's really valuable for me as a teacher. I really want to get Primary teacher job in foreign.

the most annoying thing to me is those damn native speaker (especially American) on Facebook pages, every time some non-native speaker asks a question, they appeared from nowhere, "you made a typo, you miss spell that or this, how do you expect to teach English?" they nitpick every word so they can look down on you

I am moving to Brazil y October, even though I am not a native speaker of English, I hope to get a well paid job as an English teacher / professor, due to the fact that I hold three teaching degrees. I have a Master's Degree in TEFL ; another Master's Degree in Education, in Spanish; and a Doctorate in Education, in Spanish, too. I also have 27 years experience teaching at University level in my home country. Currently my Master's Degree in TEFL is in the process of being recognized at the Ministerio de Educacao in Brazil. I also have the ECCE and ECPE from the University of Michigan.

Where can non native speaker apply for online tutor as almost asked for native speaker

Can I teach in itally how is situation teachers in there

Hello sir. My name is Ali and m from Pakistan 🇵🇰. I did my masters in English literature and linguistics in 2009. I have been teaching English for 8 years. Recently I have also done Bachelor in Education(B.ed). Where can I teach english without Tefl?

Tefl or resol? Wich one is more useful to find job as a non native English speaker?

Its not " I have taught english since 2007 " it should be " I have been teaching English since 2007 ", We use present perfect continuous tense to show an action which has started in the past and it is still continuous in the present, but present perfect does not fit for that sentence , Since + About ? how strange, either it should be used SINCE or ABOUT, but using both adverb next to each other does not make sense.

What is your site

Thanks for sharing. I’m running into the difficulty finding employment having a German passport, although having spent 24 years in the United States on a greencard visa, speaking English on a native level. I could use input and help. Kind regards….

Hi! Your link doesn't work

Lots of those links Hall of Fame aren't working, especially the online ones :(

Please send some links of jobs

Thanks for this hope. I'm French native from my bilingual Cameroon, but I realised my English level is far better than some English natives. I've been teaching both French and English as second languages. I have more than 10 years teaching experience but I've a 6.5 on IELTS just because of issues with computer and I didn't have time to finish my task. So I like your vision on changing mentalities. English or French native requirement as job qualification is quite nonsense!!!! Right now I am preparing to go to Poland for a Masters program to Teach English Language to Young Learners , alongside taking the CELTA ,and I really pray this requirement will not be an obstacle on the field while seeking for language teaching job.

Thank you for this. It is quite sad, I am Nigerian and our first Language is English. All schools here have their language of instruction as English, but according to these countries, we are “non-natives” It really is quite discouraging and frustrating. This has caused many talented people to just give up here.

man you should change the title from *where to how or why* because I was looking forward to the list of countries that I'm not getting anywhere now at the end of the video you tell me I need to read the blog for that? 😆 great!

😂They told me I'm not UK USA SA AU passport holder. 😆I got invitations from Morocco and Peru and Brazil lolz Hoping to get more from countries I would like to go!! Big up bilinguals!!

Hi Marek I'm 49 and teaching in india. do they hire a guy of 49 years old?

I teach English at the same Uni in China for 8 years. I'm Bulgarian.

I know two family members who were able to teach in china as non native speakers. I think you shouldn't say that it's impossible, just a bit harder than other countries

I have passed 6.5 in IELTS, I am from India, how can teach English through online ?

My ex classmate is Russian and she teaches English in China, although she did live in USA for a few years

Hello Marek! Your website is inaccessible. Can you help?

I'm not a native speaker but I'm from a country who's official and educational language is English. I've spoken English since I uttered my first word as a toddler. My college education was obtained from a Native English Speaking Country. I lived most of my life in a Native English Speaking Country. To crown it all, I speak English better than most native speakers that I came across. Total number of years living in a Ntive English Speaking country is 27.5 years to be exact That being said, I want anyone in the English Education System who's making this distinction between native and non native speakers, to respond and proof to me, why they think I'm not qualified to teach English, just because of where I was born.

I like speaking english

Am i have to pay

Good day. I am a teacher for ten years from India.TELF certified. How to apply abroad. Pls do help

Hi. Your website doesn't work. Could you please check if the website link is still working? Meanwhile, I'll try join your Facebook group. Thanks in advance.

It can be pretty tough and honestly, the best advice is to teach English in your home country. Not many countries will allow you to teach English legally as a non-native speaker.

Hi there :) thanks for the video. I want to take the CELTA and teach English abroad. Do you think I can do it without having a bachelors degree?

Sir, Can I know about the CEPA agreement of India with S.Korea.

I couldn't agree more. Many schools in different countries focus so much on hiring native speakers that don't even care much about those teachers' qualifications, as long as they're native speakers and white. Yeah, they do request a degree and a BASIC TEFL course for visa application, but any degree (in China for example) is acceptable. That's ridiculous! People who have no didactics at all and know very little about teaching methodologies, theories, etc; are welcomed like a superstar. 🙄 Whilst there are non-native teachers who've studied English and managed to master the language successfully way more than lots of those native inexperienced teachers, besides having a BA in Education or Languages plus a post-graduation specialization in the ESL or Education field. It's not fair at all.

How much money do I need to pay in your school to get the TEFL certificate and how long is the course?

I am a Pakistani English Language teacher and been searching for a job opportunity at British Council frantically for past 6 months. I came to know, through an insider, that they do not hire teachers from Pakistan. Same goes for IELTS examiners.

I have a question, what happens if you are a non-native English speaker but you have a British passport. Does this help you to get jobs?

Sir My Qualification is M.A B.Ed ( English) M.B.A ( H R) LLB.LLM . Diploma in German. where i can get job. i have 22 years of teaching experience. pls guide.

How do you think I need master degree of one year TEFL is enough to find a job in Germany? I have teacher bachelor degree and 5 years of teaching experience

What is your wite

I am a native speaker, but the problem is that my dad was British and my mom is Russian. I only have a Russian passport in the moment but I grew up abroad. I don’t know what to do and where I can teach English outside of Russia. I will have a teaching degree in June and I have lots of experience teaching.

Hi Marek, I am about to begin CELTA in Belgium and i regularly follow your videos.I would like to know more about English teaching jobs in Belgium for non-native speakers. I would like to land a job as soon as I complete the course.Are there any tips for job hunting in Belgium while pursuing the course ?

Hi, i am an indian citizen living in Zimbabwe (got married to a Zimbabwean) i have 4 degrees all in English, i have a neutral accent and am very fluent in English.. i am a certified teacher.. i want to start online TEFL classes.. is that possible?

The language of instruction in school in my country is English from kindergarten to university since we are a former British colony,, with a degree I should be held to the same standard as a native speaker but am not white so...natives have good pronunciation but that's all...

Hey! I have signed a contract with a school in Xian and I am from Pakistan. I have done bachelor, master and MPhill in English from Pakistan. TEFL from USA 12 plus years of experience. Now that all documents are submitted foe foreigner work permit notificatiom, some of my friends online are telling me that you might get rejected being a non native. Please solve this piece of puzzle.

I know a lot of non native speakers teaching in China, is that illegal ? if yes, what do they do?

why do they only talk about countries like the US, the UK, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, Australia, and South Africa? i am from Trinidad which is a native English-speaking country.

I think the other issues is that if you are not "white" or "Black", many companies will not see you as an English teacher. Many companies want the "foreign" look. But there are places out there that will hire!!!

There are plenty of non-native teachers in China
