  1. I TEFL to travel…or to live abroad and have been doing so for years. Like you say, it is the fastest way to beginning earning money abroad. Notice I didn’t say easiest because let’s face it, teaching isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

    The best advice that you give though is to get a certificate before actually teaching. There are some that will tell that you that they aren’t necessary in order to find a job, and those people would be right, but is it best? Take a quick look at any TEFL job board and you will see that the CELTA is the standard bearer around the world for certificates…it’s expensive and rough, but the best thing going.

    Remember that if you are teaching outside of Europe, your students might be paying a high percentage of their income in order to learn English and hope for a better future, do them a favour and have an idea as to what you are doing.
