Safest Countries To Teach Abroad

TEFL Jobs in Iceland: The level of English is very high in Iceland so there is not a great demand for English tuition from the local population. However, limited opportunities to teach Advanced and Business English classes do exist in Reykjavik and these are popular with foreigners working in Iceland. Salaries are relatively low although it can be very lucrative for EU nationals to open up their own language schools if they wish to make Iceland a long-term home. If you are able to find work then Iceland is a delightful country to explore.

TEFL Jobs in Austria: Austria is one of the most delightful countries in Europe with stunning landscapes and a pleasant, orderly urban environment. TEFL salaries are high but so are living costs. However, an excellent standard of living is possible for native English speakers. Austria is a German-speaking country in Central Europe, characterized by its mountain villages, baroque city architecture, Imperial history and rugged alpine terrain.

TEFL Jobs in Portugal: There is high demand for English tuition in Portugal even though the language is spoken to a high level by many citizens. As one of the most beautiful countries in Europe, with great weather and fabulous beaches, it is a popular destination for TEFL teachers. Be warned that you will not become rich teaching English here and may need to take on more than one job to pay for the rising cost of living. As usual in Western Europe, it is much easier for English-speaking EU nationals (i.e British and Irish) to find work due to European bureaucracy.

TEFL Jobs in Denmark: The level of English is very high in Denmark so there is not a great demand for English tuition from the local population. However, limited opportunities to teach Advanced and Business English classes do exist in Copenhagen and these are popular with foreigners working in Denmark. Salaries are relatively low although it can be very lucrative for EU nationals to open up their own language schools if they wish to make Denmark a long-term home. If you are able to find work then Denmark is a delightful country to explore.

TEFL Jobs in the Czech Republic: The capital city of Prague is famous as one of the most popular TEFL destinations in the world. This is good and bad. Good because there are lots of opportunities and plenty of other teachers to socialise with. Bad because the competition keeps starting salaries rather low, especially in view of accommodation costs. It remains an excellent choice for first-timers, and those with considerable experience can earn a good salary.
