Beginning Your Career

"I'm a native speaker. That's enough, right?" Well, no. Teaching English as a second or foreign language requires skills beyond just knowing the language or the grammar.

You will need to consider a number of factors before beginning a career in English language teaching.
  • Where do you want to teach?  
  • What level do you want to teach?
  • What are your qualifications?
Let TESOL guide you through what can be a daunting process to a rewarding career in English language teaching.
