For some, learning how to be an ESL instructor is another great way to travel and earn money at the same time. The best part is that your own learning and growth doesn't have to stop there. Take calligraphy classes in Beijing or tai chi classes in Vietnam. Learn ceramic art in Finland or how to play the marimba in Guatemala. Your TEFL certificate can get you there.
If you already are a professional teacher, your school board may allow you to take a sabbatical, guaranteeing you your position when you get back. Return to your classroom refreshed and revitalized. Either way, the online TEFL course provides affordable, professional certification that is universally recognized.
Qualified teachers have another range of options. Your specialization in math, business or science can translate into a new teaching career in an international school or university.
