Asia TEFL jobs
China, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan and Thailand remain some of the biggest TEFL markets. Formal visa routes frequently require a degree, while salary and benefits vary sharply by country.
TEFL jobs · online & abroad
Find TEFL jobs that actually fit your qualifications.
Teaching English abroad and online are two very different job markets. Start with the kind of work you want, then check the degree, visa and TEFL requirements before you spend money or apply.
StudyTEFL's jobs hub connects you to online teaching companies, regional recruiter resources, job-board links and country guides, while keeping the qualification side clear.
A TEFL certificate helps with training and employability, but it does not replace a degree, visa eligibility, criminal-record checks or other employer requirements where those apply.

Choose the market before you choose the job.
Middle East TEFL jobs
UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and neighbouring markets can offer strong salary and benefits packages, but degree, experience and documentation requirements are often stricter.
South America TEFL jobs
Colombia, Brazil, Chile, Peru and Argentina can suit teachers prioritising culture and lifestyle over maximum savings. Many roles are local-hire and requirements vary.
Africa TEFL jobs
Morocco, Egypt, Kenya, Ghana and other markets offer a mix of language-school, private-school and volunteer opportunities. Degree expectations and pay vary widely.
Europe TEFL jobs
Spain, Italy, Czechia, Poland and other European markets can be attractive, but right-to-work status, citizenship and local hiring rules can matter as much as TEFL itself.
Online TEFL jobs
If relocation isn't the goal, compare 40 online teaching companies and marketplaces, including flexible no-degree routes and higher-barrier specialist employers.
Degree or no degree?
A bachelor's degree changes the number of doors available.
If you have a degree
You can target a much wider range of formal work-visa routes, especially in major Asian and Middle Eastern markets. A 120-hour TEFL certificate is then often the additional teaching credential employers ask for.
Degree requirements usually come from employers or immigration rules, not from TEFL course providers.
If you don't have a degree
You still have options. Online marketplaces can be especially useful, and some overseas markets are more flexible than others. But don't trust generic lists that say a country is “no degree required” without checking the current legal work route.
Your safest approach is employer-first research: find live jobs you qualify for, then get the training they actually ask for.
Before you apply
Six things to check on every TEFL job.
Legal work status
Can the employer actually sponsor the visa or work permit required for your nationality?
Degree requirement
Is the degree required by the employer, the visa, or both?
TEFL requirement
Does the advert ask for 120-hour TEFL, Level 5, CELTA or another named qualification?
Real pay after costs
Compare salary with rent, tax, unpaid prep, transport, commission and local cost of living.
Contract conditions
Check teaching hours, office hours, probation, cancellation rules, notice period and deductions.
Document legalisation
Degree, police check and TEFL certificate may follow different apostille or authentication routes.
Recruiters, job boards & regional resources
Use the public pages to research where and how to apply.
Our regional pages focus on recruiter links, major job boards, country requirements, visa context and practical job-search information rather than constantly changing vacancy lists.
That keeps the public resources useful and stable, while enrolled StudyTEFL students get the more valuable regularly updated jobs content inside the LMS.
Gone2Korea
Recruitment for eligible native English speakers seeking South Korea placements.
VISIT GONE2KOREA ↗Vietnam Teaching Jobs
Dedicated Vietnam teaching vacancy board covering multiple age groups.
VISIT VIETNAM JOBS ↗Useful for international schools, recruiters and larger language companies. Verify the poster before applying.
SEARCH LINKEDIN ↗Never pay a recruiter for the privilege of getting hired. Legitimate recruiters are normally paid by the employer. Be cautious with requests for upfront placement fees, vague visa arrangements, unusually high salaries with no detail, or pressure to send sensitive documents before the company is verified.
Weekly jobs for enrolled students
Current vacancies belong inside the course, where they're actually useful.
Public job pages age quickly. Instead of filling this page with vacancies that can disappear days later, StudyTEFL students get access to a regularly updated jobs resource inside the LMS.
Public visitors
Use our regional pages to understand where to teach, what employers usually ask for, which recruiters and job boards are worth checking, and what documents or visa requirements may apply.
We'll also maintain a separate public taster page with a small selection of current opportunities.

Not for every TEFL job. Many formal work-visa routes in Asia and the Middle East require a bachelor's degree, while some online platforms and some overseas markets are more flexible.

Yes. StudyTEFL's online jobs page compares 40 teaching companies and marketplaces, including degree and no-degree routes.
