One of the most common questions I get from people day in and day out is whether teaching English abroad is right for them.
As often as I'm asked this question, I still have a hard to giving an answer. The reason is that while on one hand, I strong believe that anyone and everyone will benefit from teaching overseas; I realize that it may not be for everyone.
So I've come up with some questions you need to ask yourself that will help you determine if teaching abroad is right for you!
1) Have you ever dreamed of traveling the world?
2) Does the thought of having an adventure excite you?
3) Do you like working with people?
4) Can you be patient with people?
5) Can you handle new situations and surroundings?
6) Are you open minded?
7) Are you willing and able to accept other cultures and other ways of looking at things?
If you answered yes to all the questions above, teaching English overseas may just be the right opportunity for you.
Truth is, teaching English overseas requires a special type of person, a kind of person who can handle new and unfamiliar situations. A person who loves working with people and is open minded enough to attempt understanding people with different points of views.
The benefits of teaching English abroad are many and I believe strongly that anyone who teaches abroad will return a different and ultimately better person.
