If your bank balance is as sparse as those empty passport pages, we might just have the answer. Teaching English abroad is the perfect way to explore the world and get paid to do it, especially if you’ve just left university. To discover how to make it happen, download a free Graduate’s Guide to Teaching & Travelling Abroad: http://www.onlinetefl.com/graduates.html.
Often though you need to get together the money for flights out to your new life abroad – not great if you’re weighed down with mountains of student debt. If that’s the case you might want to consider teaching in Georgia (it’s in Eastern Europe, stick with us!).
The Georgian government has started a TEFL teacher recruitment drive and will pay upfront to get you there if you opt to work there come August. You can get all the details here: http://www.onlinetefl.com/tefl-jobs-abroad/georgia. Here’s why you should give it a go:
- It’s the cheapest adventure you’ll ever have
Because you don’t need to save up for flights and the fact that doing a TEFL course is only optional (although it will come in handy!), you could start teaching with no more than a couple of hundred pounds/few hundred dollars in your back pocket.
- Stunning cities, with a spot of Soviet chic
Georgia’s cities, especially her capital, Tbilisi, are cocktails of European, Russian, Turkish and Middle Eastern culture, with beautiful churches, winding alleys and busy nightlife all jostling for attention.
- You’ll be living with a local family
Want to really experience another culture, not just doss around in backpackers’ hostels? Living with a family is the way to do it. Georgian people are famed for seeing guests as a blessing and you’ll probably be plied with copious amounts of food and wine. And, if it all gets too much, you’ll have internet access, so you can talk to your friends and family back home online.
- Lots of holidays
With most TEFL jobs you’ll be lucky to get a few days holiday each year. With this contract you’ll get three weeks’ paid holiday, plus a month-long unpaid vacation over Christmas AND free flights to get you back home over the holidays.
- Seaside!
While the Black Sea’s resorts aren’t too well known in the UK and the US, Georgians know a good thing when they see it. Batumi is Georgia’s sub-tropical summer holiday capital, with a relaxed atmosphere, charming buildings and great beaches.
- It’s one of the most beautiful countries on Earth
And it’s not just us who think so – Lonely Planet rate Georgia, with its "sublimely perched old churches, watchtowers and castles dotting its fantastic mountain scenery" as one of the most beautiful countries on Earth.
Experience it for yourself! Contracts in Georgia start in August 2010 – get all the details here and start your application today: http://www.onlinetefl.com/tefl-jobs-abroad/georgia.html.
Teaching English abroad is the perfect opportunity for any English speaker to explore the world. As long as you’re a fluent English speaker, a TEFL course is your ticket to the journey of your life. http://www.onlinetefl.com/tefl-jobs-abroad/georgia.html.
