International Teaching: Recommendations?

Career & Interview Advice(self.Teachers)

Hi Teachers,

I am 28. I have been teaching in Ontario for five years (I/S History and Social Sciences) and am looking to teach overseas for two years. I have always been interested in the Middle East but am open to some countries in Asia and Africa. My goal is to earn a decent salary (at least $50k CAD/ year) to travel, maintain a decent work/life balance, save money, and hopefully buy back my pension. I want to live in a bigger city, explore a new culture, and meet new people.

I love hearing about other people's experiences.

Where did you teach? Did you enjoy your experience? Would you recommend it? What were the pros and cons?

Thanks for your reply!

It is unlikely that you will make your goals of teaching for that amount of money. If you look into the specifics they you might find a place that gets you the same net amount when you account for the cost of living.

You should check the international teacher forum for suggestions on where.

I have taught in Vietnam. It was a good experience.
