Every year thousands of people head overseas to teach in foreign countries. But too many people never make it because they feel daunted by the process. Which is here this book comes in – it makes the process of understanding and finding a teaching job simple and extremely easy. This book lays out a clear and simple path to what you need to get a job, where you can find one, and what you can expect when you start teaching.

One of the greatest things I’ve done while traveling was teach overseas. Back before I had this website, I taught English in Thailand and Taiwan. Teaching English abroad is a great way for people without a lot of money to head overseas, learn a new culture, experience personal growth, and make good money that can be put towards paying off student loans, or (even better) more traveling. With this book, you will be able to teach anywhere in the world.

Starting a new career teaching English overseas can be as daunting as it is exhilarating. New teachers have many concerns:

Which are the best countries to work in?

How do I actually teach English as a Foreign Language?

Will I be able to find work easily?

How much can I expect to earn?

Will I fit in? Will I make friends with other teachers?

What is life like in my potential country?

How can I find a good employer who won’t cheat me?

When I started teaching english 5 years, I had these same concerns. I know exactly what you are going through. I was in your shoes. Knowing the answers to these questions before you start is vital to your success as an English teacher.

That’s where this book comes in….

How will this book help you?

• This book will save you time. I spent 2 weeks looking for information about teaching English in Thailand. I searched websites, spam sites, scrolled through forums, job sites, consulate information, asked friends, and read blogs. I spent hours each day trying to figuring what was real and was not real. It was a time-consuming process and most of the information was out of date. This book will save you countless hours surfing the web.

This means you can find the destination that is right for you before you go.

How is this book different?

A Google search about teaching overseas brings up millions of website results that are most often junk sites, filled with Google ads, spam, TEFL companies, outdated information, and sponsored ads for placement agencies that charge you to get a job. It’s hard to know what information is for real and what information is designed simply to get money from you.

When I searching for information about Mexico, this site came up:

This website was #2 for teaching in Japan and it hasn’t been updated in THREE YEARS!

And Google warned me this site would give me spam!

This is only the tip of the iceberg of bad websites out there. There information is out of date or filled with ads designed not to find you the perfect teaching job but to get your money. It’s why I was so frustrated when I was looking for a job and why you are to.

But this book is designed and written by teachers. It’s not from some anonymous website, it’s from real people with names and faces. Not only does this book draw on my own experience as an English teacher but had friends contribute to this book as well as give interviews for it. This book is written by those who have taught overseas for people looking to teach overseas. It’s 100% honest. It’s 100% real. No spam or false promises. Just an honest telling of the process and life of a teacher.

What’s included in this book?

• Information on TEFL, CELTA, TESOL degrees – Learn about the biggest ESL certificate out there, the differences between all the certificate programs, what those funny acronyms mean, what the training programs are like, what it does, and why you need (or don’t need) any of these degrees.
• The types of teaching jobs – From corporate trainer, to language school employee, to working at a public school, or volunteering, find out all the various types of opportunities out there to teach English along with their pro’s and con’s.
• The requirements for being an ESL teacher – What does it take to be an ESL teacher? What degrees do you need? Qualifications? Is there an age limit? Make sense of the skills you need here.
• Salary and benefit information – Learn how much you can expect to make, the benefits you’ll get, and conditions you’ll work in.
• What to look for in your contract – How not to get screwed when signing your first contract.
• Online job Resources – All this information is useless if you don’t get a good job, so included is a list of job boards where you can go apply for real, high paying, good benefit giving jobs.

And what separates this book from every other book or website out there is that I asked my teaching friends around the world and used my own experience to bring together on the ground information about the application process, job types, current teacher salaries, job conditions, cost of living, and visa processes for the following popular teaching destinations:

P.S. – This information is updated twice a year to make sure everything stays current so you can have the most accurate information for choosing where to teach. How awesome is that? You know it stays accurate.

One of the greatest things I did was teach English while overseas. That experience let me learn about a new culture, a new language, make international friends, and break out of my routine. Most importantly though, teaching showed me that if I can get up and move to a new culture and survive, I could do anything I put my mind to. Purchasing this book, will put everything in perspective, and give you the tools you need to travel the world, and work overseas by doing something you do everyday: speak English.

Still Not Sure? Here’s what other people think:

“My favourite part of the book, however, is the crapload of information about teaching in different countries. It’s damned near impossible to find all this stuff rounded up in one location. There’s nobody trying to sell you a job, it’s all honest, raw information. Matt’s no novice either, he’s taught in both Taiwan and Thailand, so he knows what he’s talking about.” – Candice Walsh

“What little bit of research I’ve done has been stressful. Google searches provide heaps of sites filled with spam, outdated content, and inconsistent information. What I found most beneficial in How To Teach English Overseas was the chapter that goes into specific detail on each country you could ever imagine yourself teaching English in (and even ones you couldn’t). Matt lists dozens of countries and explains how to get a visa to teach there, the specifics of pay and cost of living, benefits you’d receive as a teacher, and links that point you to more information.” -Backpacking Matt

“When I embarked on the teaching English abroad ‘trip’ I was totally ignorant about the process. Your book gave me a comprehensive look at all its aspects and was an excellent reference guide. I completed my training in Barcelona, Spain, at a IATQuO certified school and the experience was unforgettable.” – Edna P.

“Matt’s book is an inviting and useful how-to manual for future ESL teachers. His advice is valuable and he got his facts straight and on target. The book is also a fun read and well illustrated.” – Thomas D, USA

“I found your book ” How to Teach Overseas” very insightful. There is so much information on the internet about teaching overseas and most of it is a ploy from schools just trying to recruit you to sign up for one of their TEFL courses. Thus, a lot of those sources cannot be trusted. Your book provided me with so much practical information and answered many of my questions. I am so glad I purchased your e- book. Thanks so much Matt for using your life experiences to help others! ” – Bara Katz

“I purchased your book “How to Teach English Overseas” initially because of all the reviews I read about how helpful it had been to others and this is something I have been considering doing for a while. The book was EXTREMELY informative in guiding my decision to proceed in that field. I’d like to work, travel, and write similar to what you do everyday! I am in the process of getting my bachelor degree in English, I only have a year left and after reading your book it motivated me even more to complete my studies so that I have the edge I need when looking for work overseas. The features of the book I found most helpful were the sections on acquiring a TEFL Certification and also starting salaries and what to expect from each country when looking for a teaching job. The book had all the useful information I needed to make an informed decision and answered many questions I had.” – Leah Scott

“I loved the simplicity of the book. Very easy to work around, all the necessary information is in one place and goes into just the right amount of detail. Now I’m in the middle of a part time CELTA course, looking at going to Korea for a year before returning closer to home in Spain.” – Scott, Spain

“I bought your book and found that the info was straightforward, comprehensive, and confirmed all the other research I have been doing. In short, I wish I’d bought your book first since it explained the differences in the various certification programs (I spent hours just getting info on that!) and what each country will require for work visas. You also helped with my questions about general salaries paid, cost of living and what time of the year is better for finding a job. The info on educational background plus the TEFL certification answered my questions about the types of jobs and employers that might be available.” – Anita Oliver, USA

“I originally bought the book when I was planning to go to Taiwan to teach English. Before I bought this book, I had been doing a lot of online research. I found that a lot of the sites I came across were referenced in your book. I would have saved a lot of time if started my research by reading your book. Not only was it incredibly informative, it made the research process exciting. I ended up reading about every country just to ponder the possibilities. You did a great job explaining the differences between certifications. I liked how you included whether or not they were necessary for each country. I would have paid more for the information I found inside. You put a great amount of detail and info all in one place. I’ve told my friends that are interested in teaching English abroad to start their research with your book.” – Jonathan Gregory

“I purchased your book on teaching overseas, and read the entire book immediately. I felt that book was
concise, entertaining, and filled with fantastic practical advice. I still haven’t decided if I will pursue the teaching overseas, but I do know that I have a great resource if I make the decision to go. Thanks again for the practical advice and great read!” – Sherry Grugel
