Impact Teaching
Impact Teaching is a UK-based teach abroad agency that helps graduates start life-changing overseas adventures. They connect individuals with reliable placements that eliminate the uncertainty of moving abroad, boost careers, and spark personal growth.
Am I qualified to teach abroad?
You don’t need any teaching experience to start your teach abroad adventure. As long as you have a degree in any subject, a TEFL certificate (which we’ll help you get), and are a native English speaker – you’re good to go!
What is a TEFL?
TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. It’s a certificate that you must get if you want to teach abroad. To do so, you complete a 120-hour online course that involves studying and then taking a test at the end. We offer a TEFL at a discounted price of £80 to help you get started.
Do I need to speak the local language?
Absolutely not! Most of our teachers have no knowledge of the local language when they start. Either your students will be of a high enough quality that you can communicate with them easily, or you’ll have a local co-teacher to help. But we do love it when our teachers pick up as much of the local language as they can when they’re abroad.
Will I get time off to travel?
Of course! At state schools, there are plenty of holidays in all of the countries we offer. Training centres and private schools can be slightly different, but there are still holidays and the pay is better.
Will I get paid?
We would never expect you to work without being paid. All of our placements have salaries that allow you to live comfortably, travel, and in some cases save. Compared to the average local salary, foreign teachers earn a lot. In China, for example, it’s possible to save over £6,000 a year. And with flights and visa costs reimbursed by the school, that leaves you very much in the green.
What will I be teaching?
You’ll most likely be teaching English. Your main goal is to improve students’ pronunciation and create excitement around the subject. There may be the possibility of teaching other classes such as PE or science if you have a background in that area, but generally, it’ll be English.
Will I be the only teacher in the classroom?
Generally, the answer to this question is yes. However, you will usually have a co-teacher or classroom assistant to help you. At the start, you will most likely be eased in; in some cases, you may even shadow a more experienced teacher for a few weeks before you step into their shoes.
I don’t want to be a teacher; can I still teach abroad?
If teaching is not your long-term plan, that is absolutely fine. Only a small percentage of our teachers have gone into education as their career. What you do need to have, however, is a respect for the job, your students, and your colleagues. Teaching does not need to be your passion, but you must put 110% into it when you are there.
