Huge Worldwide Demand for TEFL Certified Teachers
It is estimated that there are currently around 1.75 billion people speaking and learning English around the world and researchers say that by 2020 more than two billion people will speak and learn English. The demand for teachers with a TEFL certificate is extremely high all across the globe, especially in hotspots like China, South Korea, and Japan in Asia, as well as the Czech Republic or Hungary in Europe and various countries in Latin America or the Middle East. Basically, if you are set on teaching in a specific location, you are most likely going to find vacant English teaching positions there waiting to be filled. That being said, you really don't need a program to teach English abroad to find a suitable position. A simple Internet search will result in thousands of job offers looking for suitable candidates.
Work with Renowned TEFL Recruiters to Find Your Perfect Position
Another popular option for finding a teaching position abroad is to contact a TEFL recruitment agency. Contrarily to what many people think, TEFL recruiters actually offer their services free of charge to teacher candidates. The employer is always the one who pays upon successfully hiring a teacher, so you never have to worry about any fees. Unlike teaching programs offering teaching experiences abroad where you have to pay a placement fee, TEFL recruiters work free of charge for teachers. We at ITTT also work with a number of renowned TEFL recruiters that place teachers into public and private schools around the world.
