The International Educator (TIE)
The International Educator (TIE) provides resources, tools, and job listings for international educators, connecting schools and teachers worldwide.
How will TIE give me an advantage in getting the best job possible teaching abroad?
TIE provides tools and resources to actively search vacancies, learn about schools, contact teachers, and apply for positions as soon as they are posted. By posting your resume in TIE, recruiters can find you, access your resume, contact your referees, and often hire you without attending recruiting fairs.
Can I share my resume with schools outside the TIE network?
TIE's resume and portfolio can be shared within and outside the TIE network. You can share the public version with anyone you choose or the confidential version with schools in the TIE community.
What is Instant Job Notification?
As soon as jobs matching your preferences are posted, you will be notified via email, ensuring you never miss an opportunity.
Do I have to be bilingual?
No, you will be teaching your subject in English.
Is teaching certification and/or experience required?
Most schools prefer teachers with a government-issued certification and at least two years of experience, but requirements may vary. Some schools offer internships or assistance with certification.
What do I need to do to become certified?
Certification requirements vary by country. Typically, certifications are issued by government authorities, and accredited online programs are also available.
How do I get a visa?
The school that hires you will assist in obtaining the necessary work visa.
Do international school salaries permit significant savings?
Savings depend on the location and cost of living. Many schools in Asia and the Middle East offer higher savings potential compared to Western Europe.
What benefits can I expect?
Benefits may include housing, travel reimbursement, health insurance, and professional development allowances. These vary by school and location.
Can I bring my family with me?
Many schools allow you to bring dependents and may offer reduced tuition or free enrollment for children.
How long is an initial contract to teach at an International School?
Most initial contracts are for two years.
Should I attend an international school recruiting fair?
Recruiting fairs are a great way to meet school representatives. Many schools, however, hire directly through platforms like TIE without attending fairs.
What is an online recruiting fair?
Online fairs simulate traditional recruiting fairs, allowing candidates to connect with schools virtually without traveling.
If I subscribe to TIE, do I still need to attend a recruiting fair?
Many TIE users secure jobs without attending fairs. However, fairs can supplement your job search strategy.
