Hi. I really want to start a new career in teaching English as a second language abroad, preferably in Japan, China or Korea.
I am a 28 year old woman from Canada with a degree in Business and English, and have worked in management roles for the past 3 years. I want a new cultural experience and a complete change of scene. I will work with adults or children from elementary school up, or both if possible.
Where is a good and safe place to search for English teaching jobs?
Firstly I would like to take a TESOL or TEFL course in Toronto / Ontario if anyone can recommend a quality yet well-priced course, or even a course in China, Japan or Korea.
Any tips from Canadian or North American women on teaching English in Asia would be greatly appreciated.
Susan

My name is Ryan, I'm a college student. I've been passionate about teaching ESL for teh past couple of years and something you might want to do first is more of a community service abroad type thing. I'm going with youth-international we travel all over asia (tibet, thailand, india, vietnam) and just learn about the culture, teach english, volunteer and interact. What i'm saying is that it doesn't seem that you have a whole lot of experience and you just want to hop on a plane and fly half way around the world and put a bunch of kids education in the palm of your hand. Anywhere in asia is a big culture shock compared to canada (i lived in japan for 3 years adn have been to chine, but not korea yet). And you have to know if your comftortable there enough to be yourself and be able to teach.
Also with no prior experience the people you might try to get a job with be a little skeptical. I'm only 21 years old and already have 2 years under my belt at ELS (English Language Studies, they teach ESL world wide) and have been a camp counselor at a ELS youth camp in St Petersburg FL this past summer.
All i'm saying is figure out if it's something you really want to do, before you get all the technical stuff out of the way because if there isn't a true passion, then dont bother.

Hi Susane,
Teaching abroad can be one of the most rewarding experiences ever, but it's important to find a recruiting agency that you know will protect your best interests.
I personally recommend www.yongo.ca they helped me have a great year in Korea. (I'm actually going back in a few months through yongo again). I didn’t take any tesl courses before leaving, the school they found for me had me "shadow" another teacher for a week, and I basically learned everything I needed from the school. I recommend you shop around for the best available contracts, but getting a good recruiting agency to do the work for you can be invaluable.
Anyways, hope this helps you.
Ian,
