Things You'll Need:
- College degree
- Passport and work visa
-
Step 1
Have a college degree. Although the demand for good English teachers is high, no one will be considered without a college degree. This also means that teaching certificates or experience teaching, especially in Thailand, will be preferred.
-
Step 2
Get your TESL training before you apply. While not necessary, having training in Teaching English as a Second Language can definitely give you a leg up in better-paying, more competitive markets.
-
Step 3
Narrow down your possibilities. Before you start searching for a job, think about some of the details. Pick an area you would like to live and work. Then choose a type of school that you want to work for. Then search for jobs that meet one or both of those criteria.
-
Step 4
Search for jobs using an online job board or by visiting Thailand. Although a visit may land you a job immediately, it could also be a waste of your time and money.
