Welcome to Teach English Abroad

         This web site is for anyone interested in teaching English in a foreign country.  Every year, thousands of people travel to distant countries to teach English.  There is a lot of misinformation out there, which is the premise behind this site.  Some of these truths about teaching can be found at Myths & Realities. 

          There is also a variety of courses and certificates for people to become certified as a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) instructor.  These courses suit the different needs of people, but frankly many are a waste of  money.  In TEFL Certificates, you can learn about what the minimum certificate should be for a reputable course. 

          As you know, there are many good links on the internet and I have collected many that can be useful for you at Teaching Links. For more advanced qualifications in this field, visit Distance Masters to see a comprehensive list of accreditted universities.

          Furthermore in Country Profiles, you can get an in depth look at 6 of the most popular countries in Asia where English teachers work and view information on Mexico.  This information has been collected from experienced, knowledgeable teachers, who are in-country.  To find out more information about me, please go here.

          If you have any questions about teaching overseas or certificates, you can email me and I may post your question along with my response on the Questions & Answers page.
