Everything you need to know about all expenses paid English teaching jobs abroad

Everything you need to know about all expenses paid English teaching jobs abroad Moving to a new country to teach English is no mean feat. Job hunt aside, you have to find a place to live, sort out visas, health insurance. Read this: Teaching English abroad: A step-by-step plan Wouldn’t it be nice if some kindly employer swooped in and said they’d do it all for you? AND pay for it all (plus flights!) too? Yup, teaching English abroad, all expenses paid, sounds like a pretty sweet deal! Aside from freeing you of any admin stress when you arrive, all expenses paid English teaching contracts mean that your major expenses will all be taken care of by your employer. As you won’t have to put your monthly salary towards your housing or airfare, there’s a good chance you’ll not only be able to have a taste of the high life while you’re teaching abroad, but also be able to save money to take home with you too. This opportunity to pay off debt or save up for future life goals makes teaching abroad with all expenses paid a great option for recent graduates, future homeowners, career changers who don’t want to take too much of a salary hit and, well, anyone who wants to explore the globe without breaking the bank! Hold up! What does all expenses paid mean? In the ESL world, English teaching contracts with some of the coolest perks include: Housing (either accommodation or a housing stipend provided) Airfare (either paid in advance or reimbursed) Medical insurance (either wholly or partially covered by the employer) Visa cost reimbursement Paid vacation time ? Other benefits, such as language lessons and in-country orientation, may also be thrown into the mix. While having all of the above paid for and getting a full salary on top is awesome in itself, a major unlisted benefit is all the life admin that’s taken off your hands. It means that when you arrive in country, you can hit the ground running and focus on enjoying your adventure! Can anyone get an all expenses paid English teaching contract overseas? If you have a four-year degree, have native (or equivalent) English skills and are TEFL qualified, you are a great candidate for teach abroad contracts with some of the best benefits packages on offer. Read this: What qualifications do I need to teach English abroad? However, not every country in the world offers its teachers these kinds of benefits. While they are common in the Middle East and parts of Asia, they’re pretty much non-existent in Europe and South America. Countries in Asia, especially China and South Korea, often take on new teachers, but in the Middle East, expenses paid positions are often only available for teachers who have completed formal teacher training programs. So, yes, teaching abroad with all expenses paid is an option for most ESL teachers. As long as you have an open mind about where you go to teach. So, which countries do offer English teachers all expenses paid contracts? 1. Japan Ok, let’s be honest: Schools in Japan may not cover all expenses, but English teachers can still get a lot of benefits included in their contracts. Japan’s JET program, for example, offers return airfare but does not include housing. However, they do help you find a place to stay and sometimes offer accommodation at a set rate to help their teachers balance their budgets. Many schools offer contract completion bonuses, full or subsidized medical insurance, paid vacations and refundable pension contributions. If you have to travel between schools, your contract may also include a transport allowance. Japan also ranks highly for TEFL salaries in Asia, and although living costs can also be high too (especially in cities) most English teachers earn a comfortable living and have enough money to save on the side. 2. China China is the world’s largest job market in the world for TEFL-qualified teachers and, as such, jobs can include some pretty awesome benefits. Typical contracts might offer reimbursed airfare, rent-free housing, a contract completion bonus, paid holiday and medical insurance. Some even include workday meals and Mandarin lessons! There’s also a huge variety of work in China for English teachers - you could find yourself co-teaching 60 students with a native teacher in public school, or teaching small private classes. Check out Teach Away’s Explore Program to find out more about some of the great ESL positions on offer right now across China. In general, English teaching salaries in China provide a comfortable lifestyle. Living costs are low and many teachers save money while they are there. 3. South Korea South Korea also has a huge market for English teachers, and it’s not hard to see why. Contracts often include return airfare, fully furnished housing, paid holidays, contributions to health insurance and a bonus upon completion. Many contracts also include pension contributions, which can be or reclaimed as a lump sum when you leave the country (depending on the country you’re returning to - check with your employer!) Factor in a low tax rate and low cost of living, the lifestyle South Korea offers its English teachers is hard to beat. Why not check out South Korea’s government-run EPIK program for more information? Read this: Everything you need to know about applying (and getting hired) for the EPIK program 4. Middle East Each country in the Middle East has their own lifestyle advantages, but one thing they all have in common is offering some of the most generous teaching packages in the world. Benefits often include reimbursed airfare, end of contract bonus, housing allowance and health insurance. And if you want to take your loved ones along for the ride, packages are often also available for spouses and families. Living costs vary from country to country, but the cherry on the cake is that salaries for foreign teachers are tax-free. YES. Tax-free! However, jobs in the region can be restricted to highly qualified teachers with teaching licenses, or those with TEFL certification and a few years teaching experience. Take a look at the UAE Government Schools program for more info. PS: Check out sites like Numbeo and Expatistan to compare cost-of-living rates around the world. Free housing and airfare! It sound too good to be true. What’s the catch? Well, although signing up for all these perks can make your life easier when you arrive, it’s still work doing a little (or a lot)of research before you sign up. Firstly, all these benefits are usually reliant on you signing up for (and completing) a teaching contract, which can last anywhere from one to two years on average. Your visa is normally dependent on the contract so it’s with making sure that you can abide by what you sign up for. The advantage to having a clear contract is that you can take your time before you sign to work out whether what’s on offer will work for you. Here are some questions to ask: 1. What kind of company will you be working for? Research schools online and don’t be afraid to ask if they can put you in touch with their current English teachers. 2. What lifestyle can you expect? Find out about the area the school accommodation is in, the living costs and what there is to do in your free time. 3. Are you allowed to work outside your contract? You might be hoping to pick up some private lessons in your spare time but some contracts don’t allow this. 4. How many hours are you expected to work per week? Remember teaching hours do not include preparation, marking and admin time. 5. How is vacation time allocated? Some schools will only allow English teachers to take vacations at certain times of year. It’s worth checking in advance when and how long your vacations will be. When it comes to housing and airfare coverage there are quite a lot of details you might want to clear up before you sign up. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. English teaching jobs with paid housing: Questions you should ask before accepting the offer If the company is offering you furnished accommodation, ask for as much information as you can about it, including photos, how far it is from the school, how much bills are and exactly what is included in the furnishings. If the accommodation isn’t to your taste, the best solution will probably be factoring in buying items to personalize the space. Don’t forget, you may want to buy your own bedding and towels too! If you have fancier tastes than the stipend allows, so will your salary cover the rest? Or if you want to live somewhere that costs less than the stipend, make sure you find out if you’ll be able to pocket the difference or if it will go back to the school. English teaching jobs with free flights: Questions you should ask before accepting the offer Firstly, find out if there is a cap on the amount the company will pay for your airfare. Let’s be real, they’re probably not going to expense a first-class ticket! But if their cap is $600 then you’ll know to try and hunt out a flight that fits within that budget. Next, if a school says they will reimburse your ticket, make sure you’re clear on when exactly that will happen so you don’t get caught short. Some schools do it immediately after you book, others when you arrive and others when you complete your contract. Once you’ve ironed out all the little details, all that’s left to do is sign on the dotted line, and then turn up and enjoy! I like the idea of teaching abroad, making money and traveling the world, but I want my freedom too! What should I do? If all this talk of contracts has you breaking out in a cold sweat - don’t fret! All expenses paid contracts are great for those who want the hassle taken out of a big move abroad and don’t mind sticking to the terms and conditions that come along with it. If you prefer things a bit more free and easy but still want to save money while you’re away, why not look into teaching English in countries where you earn enough money (relative to living costs) that you can still save a bunch while you’re there? Vietnam is a great example. You might have to pay for your own airfare and accommodation, but your earnings should cover that and them some. Our English teaching salary calculator can help you work out where might be the right destination for you!

My Week 3 Progress Learning Korean

My Week 3 Progress Learning Korean Amelia  from the UK is currently taking the italki World Cup Language Challenge to learn Korean.  She uploaded a Public Video Pledge  and even started a personal blog site to help motivate her Hallyu to ???.   We were so impressed with her efforts that we asked if we could repost what she had written on her personal blog as she gives weekly updates on her progress.  Check out her latest post reposted with permission. Hey guys, a bit late this week so I’m sorry! My boss is out of the office which means work has been crazier than usual and I’ve stayed up late to do this. I’m still on target hours wise and still enjoying the lessons. My practice is gradually creeping up and I’m starting to speak to my Korean friends in basic sentences. I even went to watch the football match with them on Sunday, although unfortunately they lost relatively badly. My brain doesn’t always quite catch up with the speed of talking but when sentences are directed at me by people who know my level, I can usually get the gist of what is going on. I think I need to work on my reading speed too. One of my teachers makes me read dialogues a couple of times to make my speaking more natural but as the grammar gets harder and the sentences get longer, my hangul reading doesn’t always keep up with the natural conversation flow. That, however, will come with time. I have to keep reminding myself I only started 2 months ago and I can’t learn everything at once! The last week or so we have done a lot of grammar and vocab and I do think my brain may be getting a little saturated at present. I may ask to do some reviewing sometime soon just to make sure I’m not replacing old stuff with new all the time. This week my video may not be quite so exciting as its more of a review but I was quite surprised with how much grammar I’ve picked up already. Its just connecting it from one topic to another that is key at the moment. Hopefully I’ll be back next week with a better dialogue! I might be going to Moim tomorrow as well as Friday this week if I can leave work earlyish, which would mean I was practicing my Korean every day this week â€" dedication or what?!

4 Things Students Can do to Improve Their SAT Scores

4 Things Students Can do to Improve Their SAT Scores Tips from an Orange County SAT Tutor: 4 things students can do to improve their SAT scores Most college prep students are anxiously studying to take the SAT. These scores are pretty crucial to a college applicant’s future because it can, in part, determine where a student is admitted and whether or not they receive scholarship money. Students have the opportunity to take the test more than once, but this will take up a substantial amount of their free time and cause extra stress. One of the best things students can do is practice tips and tricks for improving their scores before the big day our private Orange County SAT tutoring will have you prepared for test day. 1. Mimic the test as closely as possible When prep students are taking practice exams or sections of the SAT, they are encouraged to duplicate the exam as closely as possible. Many students take a section untimed or allow themselves a couple of extra minutes to finish, which can artificially raise their score. Other students take a couple of sections in the morning and then take a long lunch break before finishing the exam. On the actual day, students will have to take the test very early in the morning from start to finish with only a couple of breaks. This means they’ll be more tired and need extra concentration to keep their score high. For students to know where theyre starting out it’s important to get a realistic base score when they take a practice exam. 2. Study vocabulary One of the best things students can do to improve their overall SAT score is to work on broadening their vocabulary. This doesnt mean that students need to memorize list after list of vocab words, but rather they should learn which words are most appropriately used in a sentence, which words have a positive or negative connotation, and which words are considered archaic. Students can do this by reading novels, news articles, and other academic texts or writing sentences where a particular vocab word might be used. They might do a word of the day challenge, or they might work on vocab with their study group. The important thing is that students can improve their vocabulary over time and be able to add these new words and phrases to their reading comprehension and writing skills on exam day (READ: IRVINE SAT TUTOR: Why Students Should Take the SAT Early). 3. Brush up on math formulas Its also essential for students to make sure they know the many math formulas that theyll have to remember when taking the exam. Whether its a simple or advanced formula, forgetting one small piece can certainly mess a student up and lower their overall score. Students can do a few formula review sheets or take some notes that they can go over the days leading up to the exam. Most students who are good at math learn by doing, and so completing a few practice problems is always helpful. 4. Lower stress to improve concentration When students are overwhelmed by the many tasks they need to complete during their college prep years, they tend to have more trouble concentrating on one important task such as the SAT. Starting a week or two before the big day students should eliminate, or at least minimize, the other chores they have in front of them. They may need to talk to a teacher or coach about their upcoming test date, or they may benefit from working with a private tutor who can help organize other assignments or college prep materials that are due within a few days of the SAT exam. The lower a student’s stress level, the more likely they are to be able to concentrate on the test and be successful the first time around. Great news, Orange County!

Dr Glazer the Chemistry Tutor

Dr Glazer the Chemistry TutorDr. Glazer's story makes for an excellent detective story and a thoroughly entertaining one at that. Now, after reading his first book, Quantum Book Club, I can definitely see why he was so popular on BBC TV when I was growing up.The elements of modern detective stories are all there: the forensic detective, the suspect, the guilty conscience, the laboratory, the secret identity and so on. In Quantum Book Club, Dr Glazer introduces the reader to chemistry as an undergraduate student. The book concentrates more on chemistry than on chemistry students.I remember watching the British television series, The Fifth Estate, when I was about ten. Dr Glazer plays the part of Peter Gray, a small-time crook and con man, who is arrested for fraud and robbery. He is given the chance to defend himself, but when the authorities are not interested in his story, he goes to trial.It is on the last day of the trial that one of the top British detectives has to be called awa y for some urgent work. What does he find out about Peter? Nothing, of course.One day, Dr. Glazer gets a phone call from Peter. 'You should visit me in Birmingham,' he says. 'It's amazing where the clues go,' he continues. 'Look.'At the site of an accident, he finds a helmet, which was the item stolen from his friend when he took her to meet the girl who lived in the house that he could not get to. He mentions the name of the girl who lived in the house to which the mask belonged, and there is just one problem with the story.Apparently, it was a mask made of white paint, which he bought in a shop for three pounds. So, Dr Glazer solved the mystery, and was the hero of the story, and it was not so much the plot of the story as the power of his imagination, and his keen sense of observation, that propelled him to the role of the detective in a way that any of us could have done.
