I recently graduated college in May, and I am looking for a way to experience a new culture while getting paid. I would love to backpack, but I don't have the money and I just need a way to support myself while living in another country. I've been looking into TEFL as an option for awhile now, but I'm completely overwhelmed with information. I have no teaching experience or certifications. Some of the countries I've been considering are Thailand, China, or South Korea.
I was looking into American TESOL Institute, but they charge a course fee of $950. They offer free accommodation and 4-5 months teaching. Is this a reasonable cost? I guess what I really want to know is what kind of costs can I expect with TEFL? Will I have to put money upfront? I know some programs don't require you to have a certification. Any advice would be helpful. |
