Volunteer Teaching Abroad

As you may have read in JobMonkey's Asia teaching jobs and English teaching jobs in eastern Europe sections, this path can be lucrative if you find a wealthy student, school or placement agency to find paid work.

However, there is still high demand for volunteers to teach English, particularly to smaller children. In these cases, while it is helpful to have a TEFL or similar certification, it is not mandatory.

In fact, programs like WorldTeach don't even require prior teaching experience, and provide all necessary training.

Even if you are not volunteering specifically as a teacher or teacher's assistant, in any situation where you are working with children, or young adults, you may find yourself becoming an impromptu tutor. Working knowledge of English is a hot commodity in most (if not all) developing countries and most people see a native English speaker as just the person to help them learn this valuable skill.

For a teaching volunteer, countries like Nepal offer the opportunity to become a full-time teacher of many subjects. The country has very few educational resources, and many teachers are not qualified to teach their subjects and don't receive adequate support. There are openings for teachers at all levels, including placements for English teachers in Buddhist monasteries.
