Teaching Abroad

by Mickey

Jul 2, 2015

Hi all, my name is Mickey and I previously working as a recruiting agent to recruit teachers to teach in Taiwan. Here's something I would like to share with you all so you know what to watch for before going on a trip to any country to teach. First, you'll have to ask your self what are you looking for when you teach abraod? Are you there for the money, experience, or travel? Cause those reason can determind your experience in a different country. If you are there for the money, I would suggest working for a real International School. Because they have the highest offer with plenty of benefits. For the experience, I would suggest you to work in third world country to actually help the children there. For travel, you have to know which country you want to visit and experiencing living there. Than, you have to be aware of cultural shock, food, and general living condition.

Regular American salary, working in an American school (think: homecoming, baseball, prom, yearbooks, newspaper, AP courses) located on military installations around the world. There is a 401k plan (tsp) and you get a 5&37; match. Free roundtrip ticketes to visit loved ones every two years (or one year if in a hardship location: bahrain, korea, okinawa, sicily,turkey, for example). All your goods and furniture are shipped, up to 18,000 lbs. Supports and services from the military (grocery and dept stores, cinemas, golfing, hospitals, legal etc.). It is not a bed of roses: there is a lot of political game playing and there are some coworkers who you wonder how they ever got a teaching certification. The money is pretty good as are the bennies (not as good as some districts in some states, but still ok) but you get to be in a foreign country and still have some American community. (examples: Rota, Spain - Naples, Italy - Wiesbaden, Germany - Seoul, Korea, Okinawa, Lakenheath, England - Guam.
