Yeah, they're really great places to teach too, plus you get paid more! You should chat to Emma who's taught in Egypt before to get her take on teaching in the middle east: http://www.tefl-chalkboard.com/emmafoers

kool, thanx.  ive also heard raving reports about the middle east, Dubai, Saudi Arabia etc? 

Cool! You should check out Ecuador - everyone who teaches there seems to have a great time! These guys are out there teaching at the minute, so might be worth chatting to them:

hi, i am open to teaching anywhere at the moment, but south America sounds appealing!

Hey,

An online TEFL course sounds like a great idea - where are you hoping to teach?

You don't need to worry about not having any teaching experience, as i-to-i courses are very practical - they give you all the skills you need to be a great teacher.

My top tip would be to have a browse around Chalkboard and chat to people who are already teaching in the countries you want to head out to to see if they've got any advice about courses to do etc. If you let me know where you're wanting to teach I'll find some people for you to chat to.

Good luck and if you've got any questions we're always here to help on 0800 093 2552.

Hi all.  I've no teaching experience what-so-ever and am considering doing an on-line TEFL course to    fast-track me.  Any tips or suggestions my friends?
