Expand Your Horizons
Teaching Abroad
Shanghai is just the beginning. Explore teaching opportunities across the globe — from the neon streets of Seoul to the golden sands of Dubai.
The World is Your Classroom
After 15+ years teaching in Shanghai, I know firsthand how transformative international teaching can be. Whether you're drawn to East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, or Europe, there is a destination that fits your goals, lifestyle, and career ambitions. Browse the guides below to find your next adventure.
K-Culture Meets Classroom Excellence
South Korea is one of the most popular destinations for English teachers worldwide. With government-sponsored programs like EPIK and GEPIK, teachers enjoy competitive salaries, free housing, and a vibrant modern culture.
Ancient Tradition, Modern Opportunity
Japan offers a rich cultural experience alongside strong demand for English teachers. The JET Programme is the most prestigious route, placing teachers in public schools across the country. Private language schools (eikaiwa) offer more flexibility.
Tax-Free Salaries in a World-Class City
The UAE — particularly Dubai and Abu Dhabi — offers some of the highest teacher salaries in the world, completely tax-free. International schools follow British, American, or IB curricula and seek qualified, experienced educators.
Southeast Asia's Rising Star for Teachers
Vietnam has one of the fastest-growing English education markets in Southeast Asia. With a low cost of living, beautiful landscapes, and a warm local culture, it's an excellent choice for teachers who want to stretch their salary and enjoy life.
The Land of Smiles Welcomes Teachers
Thailand is a perennial favorite for expat teachers thanks to its warm climate, affordable lifestyle, and welcoming culture. While salaries are lower than East Asia, the quality of life and adventure opportunities are unmatched.
History, Culture & Growing Demand
Countries like Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Romania offer a unique teaching experience in the heart of Europe. Salaries are modest but the cost of living is low, and the cultural richness is extraordinary. EU citizenship holders have additional advantages.
