How Hard Is Tesol Certification Online

EU citizens who want to teach English in Germany should have few problems as they can work freely in the country without a visa. Teachers from countries such as Australia, New Zealand and Canada are able to apply for a working holiday visa that allows them limited access to teaching jobs. However, for everyone else, including Americans, there are fewer options if you want to live and work in Germany. That being said, if you are willing to be patient, it is still possible to obtain a work visa. As the application process has to be completed from within the country, most people initially enter Germany on a standard tourist visa. Unfortunately, the process can take up to two months so you will need to have enough funds to support yourself while you wait for your application to be...  [Read more]

Due to the ever-increasing numbers of people learning English throughout the world there is now a global shortage of ESL qualified teachers. This is true in most parts of the world, including in the US where sustained levels of high immigration have caused a shortage of trained and experienced ESL teachers. This shortage is particularly acute in states with especially high levels of immigrants and refugees. One report by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) suggests that around one-third of all schools in the US offering bilingual or ESL teaching have trouble filling their vacant positions. The overall demand for TESOL qualified teachers is only likely to increase in the coming years, which is great news for teachers but not so great for schools. There is a shortage...  [Read more]

As the UK is an English speaking country it does supply a large number of TESOL qualified teachers to work in countries all over the world. However, due to the high cost of living, many of these complete their training through an online TESOL course or at a training center located overseas where the overheads are less and the demand for qualified teachers is particularly high. The truth is that the vast majority of first-time teachers from the UK head abroad to find teaching jobs initially as positions within the UK itself will normally be snapped up by experienced teachers who are returning from teaching overseas. Due to economic factors there are less in-class TESOL courses available within the UK as there were a few years ago. However, there are still plenty of different options...  [Read more]

How much you can make as an online English teacher is dependent on several factors, such as your level of teaching qualifications, your previous teaching experience, and the individual platform that you work for. Although some online ESL teachers work on a freelance basis, most work through some type of agency and these typically pay an hourly rate of anything between $15 and $30 on average. It is worth remembering that many of these agencies will take a cut of your income in return for providing you with students and teaching materials. How much you actually work when teaching English online is generally up to you. Most employers are happy for you to decide your number of working hours and even the times you are online. Because of this flexibility, most online ESL teachers can...  [Read more]

Becoming TESOL certified is a great way to open up opportunities for teaching English as a foreign language. The time it takes to become TESOL certified can vary depending on the program you choose and your own schedule. Online TESOL certification programs typically range from 4 weeks to 6 months in length. These programs are often self-paced, allowing you to complete the coursework on your own schedule. If you are able to dedicate a significant amount of time each day to your studies, you may be able to complete the program in a shorter amount of time. On the other hand, if you have other commitments such as a full-time job or family responsibilities, it may take you longer to complete the program. In-person TESOL certification programs, which are often offered at universities or...  [Read more]

  Whichever TESOL course you choose, your certificate will be sent to your chosen address via registered post as soon as you complete all the required tasks. However, it is very hard to say exactly how long the certificate will take to arrive as individual postal systems vary considerably. In most cases this should not be an issue, but if you would rather not wait it is possible to arrange an express delivery option via DHL that will get your certificate to you much quicker. As this is an optional service, it does include a small extra charge. For the majority of graduates this option will not be necessary. However, if you are in a real hurry to land a job and need to prove you are TESOL certified to potential employers or government offices, it might be a small price to pay to get...  [Read more]
