ACCREDITED TEFL CERTIFICATION ONLINE
We provide top quality but cheap TEFL courses. With our online TEFL universal certification (internationally accepted), you get access to 100s of jobs from around our incredible world. By the way, when we say we offer cheap TEFL certification, we mean the price is cheap: the quality is definitely not cheap. We pride ourselves on offering only quality TEFL certification. Keep in mind that TEFL certification isn’t necessary for teaching in a number of places, but it will help you to be better prepared, more knowledgeable, and better resourced: all of these things amount to being a better TEFL teacher (and sometimes a better-paid teacher). Below, you will find a range of TEFL jobs abroad, but we have only just started to add to this page. In the coming weeks and months, what you see here will grow and grow as we add more and more TEFL jobs abroad along with online TEFL jobs.
TEFL Jobs in China
China offers the world’s largest TEFL market with continuous growth, providing diverse teaching opportunities across this vast country with monthly salaries ranging from $1,300-$2,575 plus benefits like housing and flight reimbursement. To secure a legal work visa, you’ll need a BA degree, TEFL qualification, and sponsorship from a school, as regulations have tightened significantly over the past decade. The teaching environment varies widely between institutions, from kindergartens to universities, though most positions are at private language schools catering to wealthy families seeking extracurricular English education for their children. Chinese students are generally described as enthusiastic, hardworking and competitive, making for engaging classroom experiences despite potential challenges like pressure from parents for positive results regardless of actual performance. Hong Kong and Taiwain jobs will also be placed here for ease of access – please don’t judge this as political.
