That's the school where I taught in China

THIS PAGE PROVIDES:

Your ONE-STOP, Everything-you-need-to-know, ALL-purpose, International-teaching Package!

Why teach in a foreign country?

Perhaps you have just graduated from university and cannot find a job.

Perhaps you want to see the world (and get paid to do it).

Perhaps you just want to do something different.

Perhaps you are aching to do something adventurous.

Well, there are two roads to take.

BUT, BEFORE ALL THAT, I WANT TO MAKE PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT

I AM NOT A RECRUITER!
So, Who am I?
To find out, try some of these links:

My C.V.  My life in China  My life in Korea  My life in Poland

I OFFER A NEW, UNPRECEDENTED INFORMATION/SERVICE PACKAGE.

I do not offer employment.  I offer to help you find decent employment.

ROAD #1
Teaching English as a Foreign Language
ROAD #2
Teaching in International K-12 Schools
Qualifications

...to teach in a private English academy:

Most countries require a bachelor's degree.  It usually doesn't matter what the degree is in.  But, when schools cannot find qualified candidates, they will take those with lesser degrees.  TEFL/TESL certifications help a lot in getting the better paying jobs.

...to teach in a university:

Most universities require a master's degree.  It usually doesn't matter what the degree is in, but preference is given to those with degrees related to English and/or Education.  But, when universities cannot find qualified candidates, they will take those with lesser degrees.

Qualifications

Most international schools require a current teaching license and 2 years of experience in the subject and grade level to be taught.

But, when schools cannot find such qualified candidates, they will take anyone with a teaching license.

If you do not have a teaching license, then stop here and take the other road to teaching in a foreign country.

 

Where do I apply for EFL or ESL teaching jobs overseas?

Well, there are quite a few websites where employers post jobs.  And the great part about it is, you don't have to pay a single red cent to apply.  The employers pay to post their job openings.

If a headhunting agency tries to charge you money, do not pay.  You don't have to pay to find a decent job.

Where do I apply for teaching jobs in international schools?

Well, there are some online agencies that provide rendezvous or "meeting points" for employers and prospective employees.  The sad thing is none of them are free of charge for either the employer or the prospective employee.  You have to pay big bucks to apply, the registration is a rigorous rigmarole, and in the end, there is no guarantee that you will get a job.

When do I apply?

Private English Academies hire year-round.

Universities hire generally before the beginning of the academic year.

For Korea and Japan, the academic year begins in March.  So hiring generally occurs from December to February.

To my knowledge all other countries start their academic year in September, but one must do his/her research to verify that.

When do I apply?

Hiring for international schools begins in late January and generally is finished by the end of March.  But, schools may have openings as late as June.

In every international school that I know of, the academic year begins in late August or early September and ends in June.

How do I apply?

Well, that is the million dollar question, isn't it?

For $49.95 [U.S.], I will give you a list of all the BEST websites on the web where you can find job postings for international English-teaching jobs.

WAIT!  That's not all !!!

I know what you are thinking.  You are thinking, "Jeeze,  I can find that information for free with a Google search."

My reply:  Yes, that's true, but it will take you hours and hours and hours.  I save you tons of time.  It took me many hours of many days of many months to compile my list.

BUT, that's not all you get for your money.

You ALSO get access to my bulletin boards where you can have help from me in finding the perfect job for you.  I have been an international teacher since 1995 and I know all the pitfalls that greenies are liable to fall into.  I can tell you which questions to ask your prospective employers.  I can tell you what to watch out for.  I can help you avoid many problems faced by novice international teachers.

Imagine this:  You are stuck in a foreign country, with no money.  Your boss is holding your passport hostage to make you complete your contract.  You don't have any money because your boss doesn't pay you on time nor in full.

Does it happen?  YES!  All too often.

I can help you avoid such a mess.

AND I SHALL.

The longer you procrastinate, the faster all the good jobs will go to other candidates.

Save time and money by buying my package.  It's a $200 value for only $49.95

Again, you get:

- A list of tons of websites that offer training and jobs for English teachers worldwide.  (Currently over 25 on the list, all up-to-date).

- Advice on how to select the right job for you from someone who's been an international teacher over 12 years (since 1995).

- Customer support via e-mail and bulletin boards.

- Pay once, have access to my information for the rest of your life, (or until I die or this website goes bankrupt, which ever comes first).

What are you waiting for?

You won't regret teaching abroad.  If you get the right job, (through my expert advice) you will have fond memories to last the rest of your life.

And who knows?  You might get hooked on expatriate life, like I have, for one can actually save more money working abroad than working in one's home country!

Imagine this:  Money in the bank, no debt, school loans all paid off, traveling around the world, making travel blogs on the web,  experiencing new cultures & new cuisine, delighting the senses with new sensations.

WARNING:  not for the faint of heart.

How do I apply?

Well, I can tell you all the websites of agencies that will charge you money to meet prospective employers, and I will...     But...

I find it better to contact the schools directly.  For $79.95 [U.S.], I will not only give you a list of all the online agencies, BUT I will ALSO give you access to a list of all the international schools worldwide (that I know of) and their contact information.  I know of an online agency that will only let you choose two countries for $20.00.  I give you much more than that.

Here is a list of just some of the countries on my list:

ASIA (The mysterious Orient)
- Cambodia
- China (w/ Hong Kong, Taiwan)
- India
- Japan
- Korea, South (of course)
- Laos
- Mongolia
- Thailand
- Vietnam
- and more

EUROPE
- Finland
- Germany
- Netherlands (Holland)
- Poland
- Portugal
- Russia
- Spain
- Switzerland
- and more

THE AMERICAS
- Argentina
- Brazil
- Chile
- Ecuador
- Guatemala
- Mexico
- Peru
- Venezuela
- and more

THE MIDDLE EAST / AFRICA
- Kuwait
- Morocco
- Oman
- Tanzania
- and more

YOU ACTUALLY SAVE TIME & MONEY by purchasing my package.  It's a $400 value for only $79.95

It would take you a myriad of hours, a plethora of days, and several months to compile your own list.  BUT, that's not all you get in my package.

Here's what you get:

- A list of hundreds of int'l schools worldwide

- A list of online agencies that help bring teachers and employers together (at least 8)

- Advice on how to find the right job for you.

- Customer service via e-mail and bulletin boards.

- One-time fee, unlimited access for the rest of your life to my services.  (or until I die or this website goes bankrupt).

PLUSYou get access to the EFL teaching bulletin boards as well.

Sounds "hokey" (untrue)!
I'm not convinced that this offer is legitimate.
Convince me.
That is I (Leon).  I have taught overseas for over 11 years (July 1995 to Feb 2007).

I have much to offer by way of experience to the would-be traveler / int'l teacher.
