It is a beautiful bright day in Thailand. Neighbors chat, as they open market stalls ready for the day?s business and kids hold hands and giggle as they ride their bikes to school. You cannot quite believe this is your life as you get to the high-school to teach English to a group of smiling children who greet you with the traditional Thai ?wai ? as you enter the classroom.
Many adventurous people choose to leave behind the ?rat race? and become an English teacher in Southeast Asia. ?Teaching English as a Foreign Language? offers a superb chance to travel, immerse yourself into a new culture and give something back to the community. Sound interesting? Well it?s not as hard to achieve as you may think.
In just 4 weeks you could become an tutor with a TEFL qualification that allows you to work and travel not solely in Thailand, but all over the world. TEFL Courses are held every month in Koh Samui, Chiang Mai or Phuket.
While the people at home struggle with a depressed employment market, your TEFL certificate opens up many opportunities of well-paid work in Thailand, Vietnam, China, Cambodia, Korea and even South America. In these countries the low cost of living means that a teacher?s wages will stretch far, allowing you the chance to travel and explore your chosen country at weekends and on public holidays, without having to save massively beforehand.
Giving kids the gift of language is a fantastic thing to do. In most parts of the world, learning English is vital to a good career and being part of that can be a rewarding experience. Not just that, but your experience will look good on your resum? too.
More and more people are discovering TEFL as the magic formula that enables them to travel and get paid. Say goodbye to stacking shelves to save up for your next back-packing adventure of a lifetime ?you can start your travels now!
