  • A 4 year University TESOL Degree will allow you to teach in the US, Japan or Korea at up to $3000. per month ..  or more with success & experience.

    • The contracts for degreed TESOL teachers often include travel allowances, housing allowances and annual renewal bonuses.

  • A 4week TESOL Certificate will allow one to teach English as a Second Language in China, Thailand or Indonesia at a pay of between $400 & $800 per month no matter the experience.

    •  TESOL / TEFL 4 week Certificates are worthwhile only if you want to live in the 3rd World.

    • The Certificate TESOL teachers usually do not receive travel or housing allowances.

    • For the Certificate Schools, on line or on site, to be useful you must want to live in the Asian Third World as a middle income level local. 

      • Small apartment & a frugal life style.
      • An adventure into the local culture.  Living like a local on a local's wages.

    • TESOL Certificate holders teaching English in private schools often can supplement income with private tutoring.
