Teach English Overseas Without A Degree

Do I need a degree to teach English overseas?

It is a commonly held belief that a university degree or teaching experience is needed to secure an overseas teaching position. We are here to say—you can teach English abroad without a degree! How do we know? We have over 20 years of experience in the International TESOL industry and we have numerous graduates without a degree that are placed around the world teaching English.

In fact, we have companies contacting us daily asking for more of our graduates (with and without degrees). There are many countries overseas which do not require a degree to teach English. Over 6 beautiful continents to be exact—with over 2+ billion people actively learning English worldwide, both in-class and online. Keep reading if you would like to explore these countries in more detail below.

What's the best TESOL course to teach English abroad?

Happy teacher standing with schoolkids in classroom

Whether you want a gap year, career break or are just after a new challenge. We have spent years writing, developing and refining the International TESOL Certificate specifically for people like you.

This course also includes your teaching practicum and work experience with actual international students, to prepare you for real-world teaching. Practicum is a requirement for all TESOL courses. Yet we still get calls from people who were sold a TESOL course from a competitor where the practicum wasn’t included!

This course will also allow you to teach English online, from anywhere in the world (with an internet connection). That means you can live the laptop lifestyle and work anywhere or simply work from the comfort of your own home.

What about finding a job?

Did we mention that all our courses come with a Job Support guarantee? This way, you can rest assured that your dream of teaching English overseas will be an easy one with a team backing you to find work abroad. Take advantage of TESOL Australia’s job support guarantee and be in the best possible position job wise after graduation.

TESOL Australia’s Job Support Team will become your job advocate dedicated to finding you successful ESL teaching work whether that is in Australia, online or overseas. Job support is guaranteed for all TESOL Australia course graduates.

If you’ve read this far, take the next step to becoming an English teacher and teach English abroad. Fill out the form below to speak to us. We have more than 20 year’s experience in the TESOL industry, so we will be happy to answer any questions you might have. We look forward to hearing from you.

"This is a quick note to say thank you to the TESOLAU team for all the assistance I received through my TESOL journey (140hr International TESOL Certificate). Assignments completed and practicums done! I now look forward to putting all my learning into practice as I volunteer at a little remote primary school in the north east of Thailand starting next week. I have enjoyed the ride and thanks again, Shaune."

Within minutes of filling in the contact form on their Web site, I received a phone call from Lyn who asked me about my background and said that it would be possible to create a customised program where my previous coursework and experience were recognised. The staff were more than accommodating, adjusting the tasks and feedback to suit my schedule and being flexible about daytime and evening videoconferencing sessions, while I was teaching in Cambodia.”

"I have just completed my TESOL Cert IV online course and I loved it. The units where fun, informative and challenging. If I got stuck on a question there would be plenty of support to answer any questions and I would have no trouble in completing the tasks. After I completed the course in my own time, I had an interview with a school, and now I'm leaving for my new teaching career in China tomorrow! Overall I would say it was: easy, great fun & rewarding... especially if you love adventure."

"I am still in China, having taught English here at a University for one year and am now settled into my second year with an offer to extend another year. I am so grateful for your assistance and so pleased I did your course. It has enabled me to hit the ground running, making it easy to prepare lessons and delivering them at the right level. It seems I am quite popular with my classes being over-subscribed each Semester. So to come here was a very good move for me. I am enjoying China. I work only 4 afternoons each week so I travel each 'long weekend' and holidays. I love my students. They are motivated, bright and respectful."

"Recently I completed a 140-Hour International TESOL course with the director of studies Ms Lynette M. Kim. She is an excellent teacher enabling her students through sharing her vast experience and practical skills. Her lessons are informative and in practice work well to not only give the skills needed but the confidence required to enable us to make a difference to those who are endeavouring to become fluent in English as a second language. After completing the course I am keen to put my newfound knowledge into practice. I wish to thank Ms Lynette M. Kim for giving me a new direction and the confidence to take it."
