Britfag here

I'm in my 30s now. No career, single, no savings etc. I have no prospects back home and have to accept this now. I went travelling to Asia last year and loved it. I am now thinking about moving to another country and teach for a year or 2.

I don't think I'd go back to Asia but I have looked at Brazil and Czech Republic as you don't need a degree to score a job there. Do you need to be very outgoing to teach? I am quite a shy person and not a fan of speaking to groups but I'm pretty sure I could do it if I committed to it. Also, I don't like kids lol but would be happy teaching adults or teenagers.

Whats it like teaching abroad? Is it possible to save money? Anyone with experience teaching in Brazil or Czech Rep? Two extremes of destination I know but I don't really mind where I go, I just need to get out of the UK and enjoy life again

>Do you need to be very outgoing to teach?
In Japan, if you are hired by some elementary school or some "eikawa" (specialized english private school) teaching kids, from what I've heard you'll be expected to be more of an entertainment than an actual english teacher. Many jvlogger taught english and many had that experience, where the english class is kind of an easygoing kindergarten rather than a place to gain knowledge. Seems like the real english learning starts once they are 11-12, before that its more like just knowing basic words (apple, cat, sister, etc.) without ever speaking the language or creating sentences. You have to organize silly activities the rest of the time.

I guess that's understandable, I grew up in Quebec and my native langauge is french, so I had english class in elementary school, and it was pretty much that. It's in highschool (no middle school in Quebec) that it really becomes another academic field.

Japan wouldn't be part of my plans, you need a degree to teach there as far as I know. Other places I'd prefer to visit first too.

I'd like to give private tuition to hot Eastern European teenagers but I'd settle for adult learning classes

Eastern Europe and Brazil both have low pay and generally low standards.

I'll talk about Brazil a bit.

The pay is all over the place if you have no experience and no degree you will probably be paid 2000 reais a month which is pretty bad but you can totally live off of it if you know what you are doing.

You can do private lessons which pay more charge by the hour fron 50-200 reais an hour the more serious you are the better

If you want to teach business men then you will probably be paid around 5k to 10k in reais much better but hard to get those jobs.

Honestly if you come here is start up cash of 5000 usd you will be fine with just about anything unfortunately visas are retarded right now they are about to give amnesty to foreigners who no visa so idk what the situation will be like but most places will never sponsor work visas.

The city you pick matters. Roommates will save you money. Shopping at the poor people grocery store is key and
you got to learn basic Portuguese no one speaks english in service/grocery stores etc...

Only thing I know about Europe is they usually prefer to hire UK folks but with Brexit this may change
The pay is usually break even pay.

Good luck lad, I'm sure it's a completely realisable dream. :^)

That part is gross. I wanted to tell OP that's not cool, but I realized he ain't gonna get too many students there anyway, people aren't willing to pay the amounts that native teachers ask for anyway.

OP here

Sounds like another idea of mine that won't happen after all.
