What it's like
It can be difficult to imagine what your life will be like being a teacher abroad. So we've prepared a snapshot what will help you envision what it's like to be a teacher working and living abroad.
Arrival & Moving In
Once you arrive, your school staff will pick you up from the airport. You may be able to move into your new apartment right away. Otherwise, your school will arrange for you to stay at a hotel nearby for a few days, until your apartment becomes available.
Orientation & Training
Before you start teaching, you will have orientation and training to learn more about your new school and how to teach its curriculum. Some schools have training on-site, where you will get the chance to meet your new co-workers and students. Others schools may send you to a specialized training facility.

However, when see your students improve their English skills and enjoy the time they spend with you, you will quickly realize how rewarding the job could be.
