Teaching English abroad without a degree is possible. Likewise, teaching English online without a degree is also possible. In fact, in certain countries, it's normal.
Dreaming of seeing the world, making a difference, and teaching English overseas, but don’t have a university degree? Don’t worry - your dream adventure or career is still possible! Many countries in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and parts of Europe welcome enthusiastic English teachers with just a 120-hour online TEFL certificate from a reputable, accredited provider. While a degree is required in places like South Korea or Japan, countries such as Cambodia, Vietnam, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Poland (and so many more) often hire teachers based on their TEFL credentials, passion, and native or near-native English skills.
With flexible online TEFL courses now more affordable than ever, you can quickly earn your TEFL certification and be ready for the classroom or online classroom, if you're planning on teaching English online to ESL students. Schools are looking for motivated, positive personalities who can help students speak confidently - not just paper qualifications (although a TEFL certificate will help to prove that you are knowledgeable and have TESOL training.

You can get TEFL certified online right here with just a few button clicks (well, you'll need to read, watch, and click hundreds of times to earn TEFL certification, but with studyTEFL it isn't just cheap, it's engaging and fairly easy because we have videos that mirror the text, plus we don't ask you to write essays or create lesson plans - we teach you how to use A.I. to do that, because we're real teachers and we use A.I. to plan many of our lessons!
Rather than just show videos and give text, we have introduced 'lesson flows': these help you visualize the situations that occur in a TEFL lesson and review your knowledge.
Rather than just leave our cheap TEFL courses with text only, we have added supplementary and full text-script videos to help visual and auditory learners remember our content .
We pride ourselves on our friendly, fast, and professional customer service over email. We tried A.I. chatbots, but decided to set up a system of email and Telegram instead.
