See All 3 ProgramsTeaching abroad and working within diverse education systems will allow you to reexamine your own approaches, both inside the classroom and as part of a greater methodology.
By exposing yourself to new student populations, you will challenge and improve your ability to relate to students from all different backgrounds; this will eventually make you a stronger educator and a more engaging mentor to students. For those in the field of education for the long haul, having an international teaching stint under your belt makes for excellent career development (and an easy talking point when you’re kicking butt in your next interview!).
If you always tell your students that anything is possible and that they should live out their dreams, you should put your money where your mouth is and take the leap by applying for education jobs overseas!
With education systems existing everywhere, you have an assortment of options when looking for education jobs abroad. You could opt to play “work abroad roulette” and spin a globe before pinpointing a country at random, or if you’d like the universe to play a slightly less obvious role in your decision making process, here’s a shortlist of popular locations for education jobs overseas.
More and more expats are moving to China to work in a variety of booming industries; With this, many international workers are also choosing to bring along their families, which there are plenty of opportunities for foreign teachers to work at international schools that provide education for foreign students. Teachers can most easily find English teaching jobs in China or in education advising for Chinese students who want to attend foreign institutions.
The Middle East, home to some of the world’s most ancient civilizations, is an attractive destination for the most adventurous of educators. The pay is good, the packages are appealing, and the opportunity to work in such a rapidly developing area, rich in both history and resources, is unparalleled. Beyond teaching in a traditional classroom, you can also do research, become a writer, or contribute to foreign universities’ efforts to internationalize campuses in the Middle East.
Teachers keen to walk the same hallways as some of our contemporary greats will be drawn to work in the England. John Locke, Thomas Hobbs, Isaac Newton, J.K. Rowling, and YOU can all be linked by your shared love for “Old Blighty.” Education jobs in England means opportunities at some of the most reputable universities in the entire world, and certainly working with some of the world’s brightest youths. The large international student population in England makes for a unique and exciting challenge in the classroom, and let’s face it, England’s small children have the cutest accents.
Opportunities to work abroad in education vary as much as the pedagogical approaches to classroom teaching! No matter if you already have a TESOL certificate in tow or you’re starting out fresh, there are many different kinds of teaching jobs overseas to choose from.
Government Sponsored Programs. Many foreign governments actively recruit native English speakers to come to their countries to teach English with the public school system. Popular English teaching jobs abroad such as this include the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (JET), Education Program in Korea (EPIK), Teach and Learn in Korea (TALK), the English Open Doors program in Chile, Teach and Learn in Georgia (TLG), and Language and Culture Assistants in Spain. These programs typically provide international teachers with a stipend or a living salary for teaching jobs that last one to two years.
Teaching Placement Programs. Teaching placement programs can come in many different forms, but usually it will entail a program provider organizing a teaching job abroad for you for free. This type of education job abroad ranges from a few months to a few years (on average). Most teaching placement programs require teachers to have a TEFL certificate. Teaching jobs abroad arranged by placement providers are a good option for those with less experience in education or those who are making a career move. While these teaching jobs abroad are generally paid, teachers may be responsible for covering the costs of your flights, housing, visas, etc.
Many folks assume that working in education abroad revolves solely around teaching English as a foreign language. Not so fast! There are plenty more opportunities where that came from.
Teaching a subject BESIDES English. While many teachers cite teaching English as an easy first international gig, don’t feel limited by it! There are plenty of education jobs abroad that will allow you to teach a subject other than English. Whether you love mathematics, history, or the arts, there’s likely a school abroad that can benefit from your expertise!
Recruitment. Other professionals looking to take a break from classroom teaching may opt to switch gears and find an education job abroad in the realm of recruitment. As more and more universities seek students from India, the Middle East, China, South Korea, and elsewhere, more native English speakers are needed to enlist potential students. Educators in this role typically do site visits to various universities, or work directly with students to get them the information they need to make an informed decision!
Other Jobs. Education job opportunities abroad are not limited to traditional classroom teaching. You can seek out education jobs abroad in training and development at a university or school or work for an education company to enlist future teachers, among many other options. This may give you a chance to work with a different student population than you are accustomed to, increasing the professional gains of your experience abroad. The options for education jobs abroad are essentially boundless! You can also check out GoAbroad’s hot jobs page is an awesome resource for finding immediate job openings in schools abroad.
Real Work. While your friend’s pictures would have you convinced that teaching abroad is an amalgam of weekend adventuring and cute kids behaving perfectly while smiling for pictures, education jobs abroad are not (always) all fun and games.
Cross-Cultural Understanding. Working in a foreign education environment means adopting an entirely new approach to teaching. Sometimes this can be for the better, as in foreign countries teachers are often lauded. In other situations, you may have to constantly battle unfamiliar cultural contexts and different societal norms, which can make your teaching job abroad all the more challenging. In the end, all the lessons you’ll learn will be ultimately enriching and help you bond with other teachers.
Communication Issues. Teaching alongside foreign educators is a recipe for language barriers and hiccups, especially for those who choose to teach abroad in a country where English is not the native language. You will have to tap into your inner pockets of patience and resilience to survive the day. This process sheds light on yourself and your teaching style.
All of the challenges are, eventually, AWESOME! With the right attitude and perspective, each challenge can be seen as a benefit too! When you return home, you will be all the more stronger (and wiser) of an educator.

I had an unforgettable experience with global work & travel on this trip, and my Trip Coordinator Shona was truly exceptional. They took care of every detail, from logistics to local insights, making sure each day was seamless and exciting. Their knowledge of the area was impressive, and they shared hidden gems that we would have never discovered on our own. What really stood out was how they handled unexpected situations with ease, always staying one step ahead and making sure we felt comfortable and supported. They communicated clearly, so we always knew what to expect, and their enthusiasm made the whole experience feel that much more special. Thanks to Shona, I could fully relax and enjoy the adventure without any stress. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make the most out of their travels with expert guidance! Will definitely be back in the future.
My trip has been absolutely excellent so far. I arrived on the 19th of February in Sydney and am living in Glenmore Park. A few days after exploring the place and seeing what is around me I went to a concert that was amazing. After that I went to a place called Forster and got to see the beach and the ocean surrounding it. I got to go on a boat and do some fishing while seeing all the wildlife around including pelicans, dolphins and a lot of different kind of fish and sea life. After all the exploring I went back to Penrith and met some of my partners family and friends who were all so nice to me. They explained the culture a little bit more, and a lot of them are rugby (footy?) fans and introduced me to the game which I found really fascinating because I love sports and learning the game. Now that I've settled in and seen what's around I am looking for jobs around the area. My next goal here is to figure out the bus and train systems so that I can get myself around. Another goal I have is to make some friends in my free time and get some insight on the hidden gems of the area. I'd really like to go for some hikes to see more of all the natural beauty of the area. I'm so happy about how warm it is here and not having any snow around me makes me so happy. I do miss my family back home and with the time difference its hard to catch them when they are available but its been nice to have a different family atmosphere to be around that is so warm and welcoming. I do feel a little out of my comfort zone being in a place that is so different from where I come from, but each day that I am here it gets better and better. I'd like to thank Shona for being there if I have any questions or concerns and keeping in contact with insights and tips. It's very much appreciated with everything this journey has come with. I feel like I'm in safe and good hands and would recommend her to anyone who wants a fantastic experience with Global!
This trip has truly been the experience of a lifetime, and it has been made so much easier by Asti and other people at global work and travel who have assisted me. Asti has helped me book day trips, hostels, and provided me with a great job match before I even arrived in Australia!
I've been delighted with my experience, working with Global has made my experience amazing and given me peace of mind that all will go smoothly and if not, I've got assistance if needed! Asti, my arrival coordinator, has been most helpful and checked in multiple times even since my arrival to make sure that all is going well. My only feedback would be that I think that orientation should be in person, with other Global travellers in the area - it was difficult to network with others travelling with the same company over messaging only, and the 2 people I managed to find agreed that they thought orientation was in person 😅. Overall, an incredible experience so far, and thank you for your help finding me a suitable role and supporting me at every stage.
From the moment I said I wanted to go with Global Work and Travel I've just had te most amazing experience! The people who have helped me are amazing and super nice and also helped me with anything I could possibly need and want. It's been a great first week!
Could not recommend enough! Since day 1, Charlie, David and Hannah have all been so kind and informative. They have all helped me to book and arrange everything, this is my first time travelling so I had alot of silly questions that they answered as best they could and I could not be more thankful. Hannah has checked in every step of the way and been so reassuring and helpful since arriving. I would not be out in Australia loving life if it wasn't for them all
Planning a life changing event like working and living abroad doesn't come without a mountain of tasks, unseen hurdles and life admin I really wasn't ready for... Luckily the stress was pretty much evaporated by the team at Global who made the process a breeze, guiding through the stages of booking, planning and all the admin you wouldn't think about until I landed... Flights. Visa. Phone Sim. First Hostel, and probably most reassuring of all - a job when you've stepped off the plane. They handle it absolutely perfectly, pre trip nerves ? Squashed with constant check ins for concerns and changes of your plans ! Nothing is too much trouble for the team at Global, who guide you through the whole journey from concept to landing on the tarmac Down under - with continued support after you've settled to really keep you reassured. I would highly recommend Global based on my experience with them, be it for a working holiday, excursion tour or any of their services! What makes it so much more tangible is the team there have had their own travelling experiences and handle your booking on a human level, really hyping you up in the build up and putting any worries at ease. My trip In particular was handled flawlessly by Myles, David and Asti. Who I highly commend from taking me out of a nowhere job bored in the UK to living the dream down under in Melbourne !
Asti and the rest of the Global team have been nothing but amazing when helping me get prepared and settled into my accommodations and work place in Australia. They set everything up for me prior to my arrival which made me feel at ease when arriving. I would highly recommend using any of their services when booking any sort of trip with the company and also highly recommend having Asti as a travel coordinator as she has been nothing but sweet, understanding, and respectful while assisting me throughout this process!
This trip has truly been the experience of a lifetime, and it has been made so much easier by Asti and other people at global work and travel who have assisted me. Asti has helped me book day trips, hostels, and provided me with a great job match before I even arrived in Australia!
First and foremost my trip has barely started im only 3 weeks in but I have really enjoyed the nightlife in Melbourne and just how sublime the city appears at night with breath taking views. My travel coordinator made it simple for me to be able to land in Australia and not have to worry about taxi, or Ubers to get to my accommodation and also helping me with multiple job opportunities, before I arrived in Australia communication was very immediate to ensure my trip was as smooth as possible.

Program: Paid Summer Teacher in Thailand
I’m so grateful for this opportunity. It was nerve-racking at first, but I’m so glad that I went for it. I met so many amazing people and my host family was amazing! I saw so many beautiful views and monuments during my time in Spain, as well as other countries I traveled to while out there. I highly recommend this to everybody who is willing to take the leap.
Thank you Kaitlyn for taking the time to leave this review. We're glad you had a positive experience. We're here anytime you need us and thank you again. It was an honour having you as a part of The Cultural Exchange Project in Spain.
Program: Teach English in Thailand
My teaching internship was one of the best experiences I could've asked for. My first month in December was getting my TEFL certification/course and meeting other volunteers. I loved this part as it was a great way to meet people instantly and get accustomed to your new environment. Afterward, my NGO helped me get my accommodation, and I began teaching English. I loved the school I was placed in. The teachers and students were so welcoming and kind. Once March was over, it was time for the students to go on school break, which allowed me plenty of time to travel and explore Thailand. The culture is so rich, full of love, and undeniably incredible. I would do this project time and time again. RealStep helped me SO much in the beginning and helped me get accustomed to my NGO in Thailand. Both companies were amazing, and I couldn't have asked for a better support team.
Program: Work and Cultural Exchange through Live-Learn China
I think these were the most exciting and interesting six months I’ve had so far! This program offers a lot, language courses, cultural activities and a lot of support. The whole application process was very easy and smooth. The only thing one has to consider is that it’s always a bit unpredictable if it’s going to workout with your first host family. I’ve had the experience of changing families and I have to say that LoPair offered me a lot of help and support during that time. I didn’t feel alone and always had my local coordinator Mickey by my side. In the end I had such a lovely host family, I couldn’t have wished for a better match. They introduced me to the Chinese culture and showed me a lot of new places. I got to see many different places in China, with my host family and on my own! I think if you decide to join such a program you need to be able to communicate a lot and openly. It’s always about keeping an open mind and communication. Especially since one is entering a totally new environment and culture. Some cultural differences are normal! This program also offers a few cultural activities. For Christmas the agency invited the Au Pairs and their host families to a bakery to bake cakes. Overall I just wish we would have had a few more cultural activities. The language courses that are offered vary from the time of ones application. A few of my fellow Au Pairs went to a language school, while me and another Au Pair could attend a language course at an University. My first semester I had uni mostly in the morning for three hours every day. The course was intense but very fun! I got to meet so many new people from all countries. It’s such a good opportunity to meet and connect with people. So if one has the chance to take the course at Uni, I definitely suggest to take it! It will be a bit more time consuming but it’s worth it! Overall I would say this program is perfect for people who are looking for a new environment and experience. I can recommend going with LoPair to China!



Program: Paid Summer Teacher in Thailand
I could not be more grateful for my experience abroad. I have learned so much about myself and the world through this journey. My favorite part has been getting to know my host family and their culture. I feel so lucky to have met them and to know that I have developed a meaningful friendship that will last me a lifetime. I highly recommend a travel abroad experience to anyone who is considering it– mine has truly changed my life!
Thanks, Livia. We can tell you the family raved about you and would love to have you back over and over. :-) Thank you for doing such an amazing job for the family and the children. We're lucky to have worked with you on the Spain program.
