The developing economies of SE Asia mean there is a huge demand for learning English. There are probably more people who want to learn English in this region that anywhere else on the globe. If you are a well-qualified English teacher, you will find countless job opportunities here.
In South East Asia, your teaching will be to local children and adults. Some children start learning English at kindergarten! If you are thinking of working here, a Young Learners qualification would also be a good idea .
South East Asia is a vibrant fusion of colour and culture. Imagine the adrenaline-fuelled streets of Bangkok, the picture-perfect hills of rural Thailand or the history of Vietnam. If you take a CELTA anywhere in this region, you're set to take your career in any direction.
Taking your CELTA at one of our schools in Thailand or Vietnam means you are right in the heart of this region to start your TEFL career.
My TEFL story started when I was teaching at a newly opened language school in Surabaya, Indonesia. I was bowled over by the CELTA course, still the best I’ve ever done. Really full on but a definite thumbs up!
My advice for new teachers? Follow your heart, go, see and learn about the world!
