Teach English Abroad and Create a Global Life!

United TEFL Experts help you navigate the world of teaching English abroad

One of the best ways to live abroad is to be an English teacher. English teachers are in high demand all over the world as English is the universal business language.
Employers require TEFL training with actual classroom experience and will always choose teachers with a TEFL certificate over those with an online/ weekend course, or no training at all. A 4 week TEFL/ CertTESOL/ CELTA Certificate opens doors and gives you independence and flexibility - You decide where you do the training, where you live and where you work.

What does it all mean?
These all mean the same thing, teaching English.
#TEFL = Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (a term used in non-English speaking places where English is a foreign language)

#TESOL = Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (a term used in English speaking places where there are people who are learning English as a Second language). Accredited by Trinity College London.

#CELTA = Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (this term is the Cambridge Exam Board "brand name" for a TEFL course)

You decide where to go... You decide where to work... You decide how long you stay!

Get hired with any 4-week TEFL course. Employers are most interested in the fact that you have the practical teaching experience from a 140+ hour course, not the name brand on the paper. Weekend and Online courses do not offer the 6-8 hours of real classroom experience, observed by peers and a TEFL course tutor. We have seen many employers specifically mention in job ads that they DO NOT want someone with an online or weekend TEFL course. The cost is a little more, but the experience and opportunities are priceless. Consider a 4 week residential TEFL course to get you where you want to be with the maximum advantage.

The TEFL course is 4 weeks, Monday through Friday
Plan to be at school from about 9 am - 6 pm daily

Your course tutors will give out a detailed schedule of assignments at the start of the course. As a teacher trainee you will work in teaching groups, sharing the teaching practice (TP) sessions and working together closely so that the sessions are coherent and productive for the English students. TP begins the first week so you begin to feel comfortable and confident teaching. By the end of week three, trainees are preparing reasonably independently, consulting the trainers only when necessary.

By the end of the course, trainees are fully prepared with the essentials of teaching English, along with a broad range of effective teaching techniques and classroom management skills. Additionally, the local course staff provides expert job guidance sessions as a group and one on one. This can help you decide where to go and teach, prepare your resume/CV and find the job you're looking for.

A note from a student: It was a pleasure hearing your input tonight at the event. You are living proof that taking a chance and plunging into the unknown can be a success. I hope to someday do the same and your story, as living proof, is very motivating. Thank you!
