TESOL Jobs for Gap Years

Stories from Students Teaching English Overseas

Teaching English overseas gives students and gap year travellers the chance to travel the world, gain work experience and make enough cash to fund their travels. It also allows you to try out a different career path before settling into the 9 to 5 lifestyle, or heading off to college.

Simon’s Story

“I was living in rural isolation and struggling financially. I was studying education at the time too - part-time and driving cabs also. I like people and doing different things so I applied for a few jobs via i-to-i contact lists and the internet - had a couple of interviews and finally got employment at a university in China where I live now - the motivation for me was to meet people and get a better job.”
