CHAPTER 1

Choosing The Right Country

Choosing the country where you want to teach is the first thing to do! All depends of what you are looking for.

You can find English teaching jobs anywhere in the world. You can travel around the world and teach at the same time. A great way to learn about different countries traditions and cultures. You might be looking for volunteering or really want to make a career as an ESL Teacher. The ESL market is really vast in this world and I'm going to introduce it to you.

1st group of Countries: They are the best in terms of offers and incomes. But they also have the greatest demand for ESL Teachers. Countries like South Korea, Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates,Dubai, Oman, Kuwait. Without forgetting Taiwan, Singapore and Vietnam.

Those countries have developed a "well-known market" for ESL teachers, internationally. They have better economic stability and infrastructures. They can provide high incomes and incredible perks. We will see those perks more in details in another Chapter.

2nd Group of Countries: Thailand, Spain, France, Russia, Czech Republic, Turkey, Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica, Argentina.

The ESL market isn't as developed as the first group but they are still best countries to teach in. In some of those countries you might work more and earn less as the leaving cost could be higher. Could be! They have less perks than the 1st group.

3rd Group of Countries: African continent, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Vietnam, Ecuador, Honduras, Peru, Poland, Romania.

Those countries are famous for volunteering. Volunteering can give an amazing experience in those magnificent countries and continents. You'll exchange your teaching classes to free food and free accommodations.


Now it's time for you to choose if you have decided to be a ESL teacher. This is a short and straight forward presentation of the ESL Market. No judgments from my part! You're the only one to know if you feel good in your shoes!
