- I've been teaching English abroad (mostly in Spain and France as well as the UK) for many years. I thought today I would share my experiences both good and bad. I'll talk about how I got started, how I landed my first job.

I also discuss the financial side. Can you make money teaching. Finally, I'll give you my top 5 tips for learning English. These tips, by the way are suitable for small classrooms of adults. I have taught children but that's a special skill and would require a separate video.
I welcome your feedback and if you are a TEFL teacher yourself then please share your experiences in the comments section.
