My fiance and I are looking at moving to Germany from Australia. He was a high school teacher and now teaches English as a 2nd language. He is hoping to teach at international schools in Germany . What is the salary like for those teachers and how is the behavior of the students?

Great video Elyce! I am American and in my second year of grad school (out of three) for School Counseling, MSEd. I have always said to myself I wanted to study or teach abroad, since COVID happened I was not able to study abroad. Then right after undergrad (university) I went straight to graduate school so right now is finally my moment to begin this process. I am super exited but also super overwhelmed with the amount of information ahhh. Ideally, I am looking into positions in Europe have found out that Singapore, other countries in Southeast Asia and the Middle East are the best paying. I also don't want to me super broke you know. What are your thoughts on Europe paying low? Is this true? A second question is whether I need have the TEFL certification? If so, which website can I use to obtain it? I have no teaching experience so I cannot use that as the replacement for the TEFL cert. Besides this, any advice related to teaching abroad is welcomed --- I hope to leave anytime after May 2025. So I've got a little over a year to do research and finally get placed at a school. ◡̈ thanks again!

Is there plenty of international teaching jobs available or is it very competitive?

So glad I came upon this video! I’m currently a junior in university majoring in elementary education but hearing so many negative teaching experiences in the U.S. makes me nervous about working here. I really want to teach abroad but I don’t want to teach English as I’m going to be a certified teacher. Watching your video, I want to teach at an international school now. How was your experience teaching at an international school and how did that differ from teaching in your home country?

Thanks so much for your video! Would love to hear about learning how to teach the international curriculum. I trained in Aus but have been teaching most of my career in the UK system. Is it extremely different? Is there anywhere you could recommend to read up on their techniques? Thank you!

Gday Elyce, you offer some great tips there that could be applied to not only teachers but to others wanting to work abroad. It’s not something one should be half hearted about when taking such a big step or commitment. It’s obvious that you are passionate about teaching and are immersing yourself into the German culture to be successful. Well done and good on you for sharing the lessons that have worked for you. 😘

Great tips, but I think as an African teacher, the first tip is to be a white person.

Do you have any advice on what to write to secure an interview for a computer science teacher role ideally in Thailand or surrounding countries. Is Thailand a popular destination and therefore very competitive. I am an experienced computer science teacher but have no experience in the international school system. If you could point to any advice for this particular subject I would be grateful.

[sandrascott]

Very well done! Organized and on point!
