The TeacherPortal Salary Comfort Score is a proprietary way to tell how far a teacher's salary will go in each state. We look at cost-of-living, average salaries, starting salaries, and more. Then we rank the states - the lower the number, the more "comfortable" your teacher's salary will be.

International Jobs for U.S. Educated Teachers - EFL Teaching Jobs Abroad

U.S. educated teachers can only teach in a few countries abroad. Most of Europes public schools (meaning state run schools!) are not open to American teachers on a regular basis. There are sometimes possibilities to be a teaching assistant or a treacher on a short term exchange program. There are some exceptions, such as the English language certification program in French schools. Other exceptions are the jobs offered in the schools that cater for Americans abroad, the military and diplomats working on an American Curriculum. There are, obviously, jobs to teach English as a foreign language (EFL). The latter requires that you have a specialist certificate for teaching English as a second language. In addition, there are some private schools, usually where they have a large number of American students and a section teaching on the basis of the American Curriculum.

There are obviously many jobs available in Africa, South America and some in a few countries in Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia). Jobs in Africa can usually be found through the Peace Corps. Additionally, there are many EFL jobs available especially in the Middle East, Japan, Korea and China.

You should also note that a TEFL certificate that is good for teaching adults at a language school, will generally not qualify for an ESL classroom position at a reputable K-12 international school. You might find a job, without certification, at an "international schools" that has just opened , caters for locals and is in the process of certification. But beware, salaries offered will be low in these cases.

Sometimes the process of getting a good international teaching placement is long and protracted, even for teachers who have lived and taught overseas for years. But you have to be persistent!

The most popular destinations are China, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Mexico, Japan, England, Spain, United Arab Emirates, India.

Industrial Training and Coaching

There are only few Internet sites specialize in Industrial/Corporate Training Jobs. But Training Jobs are available in most large, nationwide operating companies, such as Mercedes, Honda, KIA, BMW, MTU, EADS, Ford, GM, Proctor and Gamble, General Electric, Boeing, Banks, Insurance's, Airlines etc.

There are companies specializing entirely in corporate training (such as the large Swiss based Telecourse that specializes in Banking training). Other companies do it in-house.

It is a growing and expanding market with thousands of jobs created every year. There is space for the small company offering specialized coaching as well as for the large industrial training outfit. Coaching can be a lucrative business requiring relatively little capital investment. We have found a little course (Results Coaching for Leadership) that teaches you the basics. It is quite simple, but highly effective. You will still need specific subject knowledge, but hopefully, you will bring that from your professional experience.
