General Requirements to Teach ESL

Section: ESL Resources -

Stuff for Newbies

What are the General Teaching Requirements?
Besides being flexible, having a positive attitude, and being open to exploring new cultures, the requirements to teach ESL overseas vary from country to country. However, the general requirements are as follows:

be a native English speaker

hold a Degree (Bachelor's or higher) in any discipline

have a current passport that is valid for at least 6 months or more

Some other general requirements that are not necessarily required but certainly preferred:

be a Certified Teacher (Teaching Certificate, TEFL, TESOL etc.)

be 100% physically and mentally fit to endure living overseas for at least 6 months or more

have teaching experience (this could include paid or voluntary work as a tutor, mentor and/or trainer as well)

international travel experience (either having lived overseas or having some extensive personal/business travel experience)

have no criminal record (a criminal background check is often needed to teach)

hold a valid passport from the following countries: Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK or the US

Note: most of the general requirements above are often imposed due to the eligibility requirements for visas in the respective country that the teaching position is available in.
