What does the TESOL Employment Field look like?

John Kongsvik
There are countless English language teaching opportunities all over the world for those who possess a TESOL Certificate from an accredited teacher training institution like World Learning’s SIT Graduate Institute.

  1. There are TESOL jobs for teaching children, teens and adults the English language.
  2. There are  TESOL jobs at schools, universities, and private institutes.
  3. There are full time and part time TESOL jobs.
  4. Employers are looking for TESOL Certified teachers to teach for a few weeks up to two years or more.
  5. The TESOL Employment field is vast indeed.

            There is a huge demand worldwide for qualified TESOL/TEFL teachers. 

There was a time when experience and qualifications were not required; any native English speaker with a bit of wanderlust and a pulse could teach English abroad.  This no longer happens to be the case.  More and more employers require this, and more foreign governments have made this a part of work VISA requirements.  Contact John Kongsvik to learn more.

A TESOL Certificate is, at minimal required.

Today, teaching opportunities for unqualified English language teachers are fewer and most institutions require a TESOL Certificate as a minimal requisite for employment. You can read more about this here.
