The key to a successful teaching position is knowing what is best-suited for you based on your own personal interests, financial needs, education level, travel experiences, and of course, the actual job market. It is imperative to decide what your priorities are, as different countries offer drastically different living and teaching environments. Here are some points to consider when choosing your destination: Do you want to learn a particular language? Do you want to visit cultural attractions or explore natural environments such as jungles, deserts and/or rainforests? What types of climate do you prefer? What are the typical working conditions and teaching hours? Do you prefer to live in a large city or a small town? How much money will you be able to save, taking into account such things as your salary, the cost of living, and the cost of airfare?

After conducting this preliminary research and determining your needs, here is a checklist of suggested steps to follow when contacting our Teacher Placement Service:

Contact the service approximately three months prior to the date you wish to start teaching.

Decide which country is your first choice (preferably also have a second and third choice selected). If you haven’t decided yet, your Teacher Placement Advisor can offer information on the job market in different countries and what your options are.

Send your resume and cover letter to our Teacher Placement Service. You can email this material to placement@oxfordseminars.com. Your resume should highlight your teaching-related skills and your cover letter should focus on why you are applying to teach in the country you have chosen.

You will then be assigned your own personal Teacher Placement Advisor who will contact you to discuss your employment needs and send your resume to the contacts we have in your country of choice.

After receiving your resume and cover letter, school directors and/or recruiters will contact you to discuss job offers.

After you have been offered a teaching position and received a job contract, your advisor will answer any additional questions or concerns you may have.

“The school that Oxford presented me with has been just outstanding in accommodating their foreign teachers, and I am extremely happy with taking on this adventure. I am very thankful for this opportunity of a lifetime and without a doubt Oxford has made it all possible. At the drop of a hat I would recommend teaching English as a foreign language to anyone, young and old alike.”
