What is it that makes the difference?” |

As an overseas teacher, you are not represented by any union or any other organization. For those who rely on passive methods it is a problem. And it also is a great opportunity for those who leverage on their personal ability, skills, and information.
Some people email us: "Where can I
find information on teaching overseas?" — It is right here!
International employment for teachers is all we do. The information
is plentiful and available immediately. Use the sigh up link for
immediate access to jobs and downloads!
For one night's homework, I can assign four pages of out of a workbook, a chapter to read, a composition to write, and the students DO the work—and on time! I'm blown away! We mostly have discussions in class—the kind of teaching I always imagined myself doing. The kids here work really hard. They go to public school during the day and go to language lessons and/or tutoring in the evening for a total of eight different classes a day. I wish American students had a greater appreciation for the educational opportunities that they have. Besides enjoying my students, I enjoy living in Greece. When I'm not working, I'm living in a newly built apartment that is only 100 meters from the Gulf of Corinth—at night I can hear the waves crashing onto the beach. (I'm in the village of Pitsa, in the "state" of Corinthia, in the area of Greece called the Peloponnese, and I'm right on the northern coast, which is to the west of the city of Corinth.) My employers pay my rent and utilities, so all I have to worry about is my internet/phone bill.
Is it expensive?Everyone agrees... you simply won't find a more hands-on, effective, total approach to finding a teaching job overseas at any price. When it comes to a life-changing decision, such moving abroad, the $39.95 price tag is ridiculous. If you think that such investment is too high a risk you may not be ready to take an international plunge. Compare: attending an international recruiting fair will cost you a thousand dollars or more, depending on the location. (Airfare: $300-$1,000+, hotel: $200-$300, fair registration: $100-$200, new clothes/shoes: $200-$500, meals and city transportation $100-$150). As educators, we know the difference that knowledge and information can make! In fact, many candidates use our services specifically to prepare for job fairs (interview questions, resume preparation, etc). Others bypass the fairs and apply for jobs directly using our online resume / vacancy posting services. Save time, money and frustration:

Why Teaching Overseas?
