Teaching Abroad
About this Career
Teaching abroad is pretty similar to teaching in the United States. It involves preparing lesson plans and teaching pupils in accordance with their country’s national curriculum. As a teacher abroad, you will also be responsible for marking students’ work and providing them with necessary feedback, criticism, encouragement and support. Another requirement will be to help students prepare for crucial tests and examinations.

Teaching English in a foreign language will give you the opportunity to use creative, interactive and engaging teaching methods, such as games and role-play. Your life as a teacher abroad won’t only involve classroom work – you will also get the opportunity to supervise children during events and projects outside of the classroom, such as cultural outings, field trips and excursions.
Many teachers who work abroad supplement their earnings by offering private tutoring to young children, adults or business professionals.
If you’re teaching English as a foreign language, you will most likely teach your lessons in English. However, if you’re teaching another subject, such as math or science, you may be required to teach in the native language of the country you are working in.
