5 Reasons to Make a Career Change as a TESOL Teacher

Are you tired of the same old daily work/life routine that lacks any inspiration? Perhaps you’re looking for a new career challenge or an overseas adventure? We’re sure you’ve thought about many scenarios, but whatever your reason, making the decision to embark on a career change is life changing for anyone. If you’re considering a career change as a TESOL teacher, you’re making an excellent choice by following in the footsteps of many before you. Here are five of the best things about teaching English as Second Language: 

1. Make a Difference

As an ESL teacher, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real and lasting difference in the lives of your students. By teaching English, you’ll be helping your students to gain valuable language skills that will open up a whole new world of opportunities for them, including study, career, and connection. Teaching is one of the most rewarding professions out there. Seeing your students progress and gain confidence in their English abilities is an amazing feeling, and it’s something that you’ll never experience in any other job.

2. Cultural Immersion

Another great thing about becoming an ESL teacher is the opportunity to immerse yourself in a new culture. Many ESL teachers choose to work abroad, which can provide a unique and enriching experience. Not only will you have the opportunity to live in a new country and learn about its culture and customs, but you will also have the chance to meet people from all over the world and to learn about their experiences and perspectives. You can teach them all about Australia while you’re at it.

3. Professional Development

Becoming an ESL teacher can also provide opportunities for professional development. Teaching English as a second language requires a unique set of skills and knowledge, and as an ESL teacher, you will have the opportunity to develop and refine these skills, including confidence in communication. This can help you to become a more effective and successful leader, and can open up new opportunities for advancement in your career.

4. Flexibility

Online ESL teachers are always in high demand, and this means that you’ll have plenty of teaching opportunities to choose from. You’ll be able to choose your teaching hours and decide when and where you want to teach — anywhere with your laptop and an internet connection. This is ideal for those who may prefer a flexible work schedule or who need to work around other life commitments, such as family or study. Whatever your reason, save on the commute and enjoy the convenience of working from home or teach online while you’re overseas. 

5. Variety of Job Opportunities

ESL teachers have the opportunity to work in a variety of settings. You can teach in a classroom setting, tutor one-on-one, or even teach online. The TESOL field is incredibly broad, which means you can teach many different facets on the spectrum of English language programs. These can include: Study Tour, General English, IELTS, and many more. All while working with a wide range of students, from children to adults, from all different cultures and backgrounds.

Study Today:

Becoming an ESL teacher can be an incredibly fulfilling and rewarding career. If you are looking for a new challenge and the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others, then a career change to become a TESOL teacher is the perfect move for you. With the right training and qualifications, you can open up a world of opportunities and embark on an exciting new career.
