Why teaching English abroad after graduation was the best decision of my life

Why teaching English abroad after graduation was the best decision of my life The decision to move and teach English abroad was inspired by many sleepless nights leading up to my university graduation. I was earning my BA in behavioral sciences and entirely unsure of what I would do next. Deciding what to do after graduation. The list of options was as follows: Apply for graduate school to become a psychologist. Stick with working in the non-profit sector, with the homeless population in Austin. Start applying for any job that sounded fun (hey, I was eager to pay my private school diploma off ). Throughout this, I kept thinking how wonderful it would be to just travel for a while, to have some time to work out what my next big decision should be. Given my student loan predicament, it didn’t seem possible to simply travel without any income, so I began to think about the types of jobs that allow you to travel, earn a decent wage, while still offering fulfillment. The one thing I’ve always known is that I want to spend my days being of service. If I can do that, I know I’ll feel fulfilled. I’m not the type to jump into anything without first researching all possible outcomes. Despite my desire to be more spontaneous, I just can’t help myself. So, the more I searched for that perfect career the more it kept leading me back to teaching abroad. Recommended reading: Why you should teach abroad as a college grad What qualifications do I need to teach English abroad? How to land a job teaching English abroad without experience Then, in a most fortuitous turn of events, I landed on the English Program in Korea (EPIK) website late one evening and discovered that I didn’t have to be a certified teacher to teach abroad. In fact, I didn’t have to have anything but the bachelor’s degree that I would soon be receiving. I began to fill out the very lengthy application form and became quickly overwhelmed. A medical exam, visa paperwork, apostilled documents, oh my. Taking the first step towards teaching abroad after graduation. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. I would now have to reach out to all of my professors and supervisors and explain that I wouldn’t need a letter of recommendation for graduate school but, for an English teaching job in South Korea. I stopped the application there and left it at that for a while. But I kept researching ways that I could become a teacher and move abroad while doing so. I discovered a number of recruitment agencies and settled on one that sounded like a good fit for me. The application process was less daunting than with EPIK and helped me decide on a region while breaking the process down into a more manageable step-by-step process. Meanwhile, I applied to graduate school - well, six schools to be exact! I awaited responses with bated breath and wrapped up my last few weeks of college exams and my thesis. During many late nights, I would travel, via the internet, to all of the places in the world that I wanted to be that weren’t Austin. I worked on applications for jobs with the recruitment agency I was working with and even started my online TEFL course. I also watched videos of people who had moved abroad, read their blogs, and through this, finally figured out where I wanted to live and teach abroad. Researching the best places to teach English abroad for graduates. I did initially fall in love with the idea of teaching English Thailand. I thought it seemed like paradise and a place that I could really discover myself and what I was meant to do. However, the more I looked into teaching in Thailand I realized it didn’t actually align with my goals. Although I would be able to teach underserved communities I didn’t think it would provide the right opportunity for me to become a well-trained educator. After looking into the most desirable and even least desirable options I settled on a country that seemed like my Goldilocks (“just right”) teaching destination. I decided to set my sights on teaching English in South Korea once more, as it was one of the highest-paying countries to teach abroad in, with the most attractive benefits and accommodations. EPIK also provides teachers training and orientation upon arrival, ongoing support and co-teachers to support new teachers in the field. I ended up applying to EPIK via a recruitment agency, which was helpful in that they secured and managed applications and interviews for me. I don’t know that I have ever been as nervous as I was when someone from the agency told me that I landed an interview with an EPIK school. That was to take place via Skype. With a number of school leaders. Who may or may not speak English. It was late in the evening, give the time difference, so I had a full day to sweat the jitters out. I read through every potential interview question and memorized my most appropriate responses. I even wrote them down and practiced up until the call came through. I made sure I was wearing a suitable outfit, that nobody could interrupt me and eagerly awaited that incoming Skype call jingle. Miraculously, I passed the interview and moved on to the second part of the application process! I considered the hard part over (little did I know that packing my entire life into two suitcases lay ahead). Throughout the entire process, I was incredibly nervous, which told me that this was actually what I wanted to do. When I received the message that I would become an EPIK teacher and was only awaiting which city and school I would teach in, I was elated. I waited months to find out where I would be placed but, unlike most candidates I really didn’t have a preference. I felt so grateful to even be accepted and had so much hope for the experiences to come, that I knew wherever I ended up would prove to be an amazing adventure. The traditional start time for EPIK teachers is August but I had a late start, beginning in September. This meant I wouldn’t complete my orientation and training prior to the start of the school year. I would be thrown right in, the day after I arrived. I was placed at a large elementary school in a small rural farming town called Jincheon. I couldn’t find anything about it online at the time (things have changed quite a bit by now). I really didn’t know anything about the school or the town but I knew that whatever I walked into it would be a learning experience. My advice: When in doubt, teach abroad after graduation! I could never have imagined that my one year in Jincheon would have been the start of my career teaching (both at home and abroad) as well as a catalyst for world travel that resulted in lifelong friendships. It truly was the best decision I’ve ever made and has shaped the person that I am today. I would highly recommend such a radical change to anyone interested in learning about a new culture, teaching about their own or just discovering themselves within the context of such a raw experience.

Money Management 5 Things Students Should Know

Money Management 5 Things Students Should Know Money Management: 5 Things Students Should Know Money Management: 5 Things Students Should Know 18-year-olds generally arrive on a college campus with little to no knowledge of how much things cost, what’s important to spend money on, and how to avoid being in debt. The majority of students will likely not have taken a finance and money management class in high school â€" although they probably should be required to â€" and are left to their own devices or, in some cases, a budget their parents set for them. Many students find out far too late how to manage their money properly and graduate with massive debt (READ: 5 Things to do Before You Go Away to College). 1. Create a budget For the most part, students don’t have a self-imposed budget at all, but those who do have a ‘general fund’ budget, meaning they spend only a certain amount per week total. For example, if a student has $100 per week, they will consider that to be their money for everything rather than breaking down the budget. A more organized way to budget is for students to look at percentages. For instance, if a student determines they need 50% of their weekly money for food and personal items, and they need 40% for a savings account, they then have 10% (or $10 in this case) to spend on pocket money. Most college students will not be happy with $10 of entertainment money per week and will either have to accept life on a strict budget or supplement with a part-time job. 2. Understand finances prior to leaving for college Students transitioning from high school to college will have way too much on their mind to also focus on managing finances. It’s important for students to understand how to manage their money prior to leaving for college, in an environment that can be monitored by mom and dad. For instance, students may earn $300 a week at their part-time job after school and decide they want to spend all of it on entertainment; leaving them nothing left to save for college. If their parents sit down with them and talk about having a percentage budget, one where only 10% of their income is for entertainment, they will learn how to manage money and how to earn money more efficiently (READ: Guest Post: Summertime Tools to Keep Your Mind in Shape). 3. Understand what’s essential and what’s not Many students report that they don’t have enough money for important things such as health insurance or college textbooks. For some students, the truth is they simply don’t make essentials a priority. Too many college students are living without important things, such as healthcare, but purchase things they dont need, such as new clothes and convenience foods. Its important for students to learn what‘s essential and what’s not before they can properly manage a budget. 4. Learn to balance work and study Being a full-time student and working part time is no easy feat. However, it’s mandatory for the majority of today’s college students. It’s important for students to learn about a work-study balance very early on so they can manage their education while still earning money. For instance, some students thrive in an on-campus work-study program where they attend classes in the morning, transition to work, and transition back to more classes in the evening. However, other students may need to separate their work and study lives. It may be a good idea for students to attend classes Mon/Wed/Fri and work Tues/Thurs or attend classes in the morning and work after lunch. If possible, this is a skill best learned in high school when consequences are less severe. 5. The credit card trap Many students attempt to solve their problems by putting things on a credit card. However, this can be financially dangerous and lead to thousands of dollars of debt in under four years. It’s especially difficult for students to have credit card debt to pay down in addition to student loans. Credit cards are meant to be for an emergency, for example if a student experiences a medical emergency or needs to have their car fixed to get to campus. Unfortunately, most students use credit cards as if they are liquid cash and often forget to or don’t have money to pay back the card at the end of the month. Students who struggle to pay off credit cards on time are encouraged to get a credit card with a small limit, perhaps $500, allowing them to pay for something in an emergency but preventing them from building up a couple thousand dollars of unneeded expenses in a month’s time. Students who have a history of miss using a credit card are encouraged to get a prepaid credit card where t hey can put a certain amount of money on it each month with no fear of running over their limit or building bad credit. In Short Although high school students are often not taught how to properly budget once they become adults, they will be responsible for their own finances. Although learning how to create a budget while adjusting to a new phase of life is extremely difficult, it’s an important skill to learn in order to avoid stress and excessive debt a few years down the road.

Scientifically Backed Ways to Clear Your Head While Studying

Scientifically Backed Ways to Clear Your Head While Studying The human mind can wander at the most inopportune times: during an important business meeting, a lecture right before an exam, or a significant personal conversation. In fact, 47% of people tend to be thinking of something other than the task at hand. The same people who claim to have distraction problems also report being unhappy. Learning how to stay on track can help your focus and peace of mind. Budget Your Time There are easy preliminary steps you can take to prevent getting distracted. Before you sit down to work, set reasonable goals for yourself. Create a schedule to determine what time slots you can reserve for work. Decline some invitations to social events if you think they'll interfere. You may even want to keep a diary of your work, which has been known to increase productivity. Meditate If you've sat down to work and your mind is wandering, know that you're not alone. An ancient practice has proven helpful for this: meditation. With only eight weeks of practice, you can improve your ability to concentrate. Some benefits can be enjoyed with only four days of training. Even subjects who have never meditated before felt that their memory, spatial orientation, and executive functions improve from this practice. Train Your Brain If you find yourself plagued by unpleasant thoughts, research the phenomena of suppression and substitution. While they use distinct neurological processes, each can effectively diminish the distractions caused by unpleasant thoughts. Harvard social psychologist Daniel Wegner determined that people can avoid fixating on one idea if they have an alternative idea to fixate on. For example, subjects successfully avoided thinking about a bear when it was suggested that they think of a red car instead.

Let me fill you in on everything you need to know to get started. Here are some quick tips that I’ll expand on below. How can you start making money while traveling by teaching English online?

(But don’t forget to keep your expectations in check.) Boost your resume for teaching jobs online. Already a teacher? Perfect! It’s super easy to transition from the classroom to teaching online. New to teaching? Don’t worry! If you have a bachelor’s degree, getting into teaching English as a foreign language is pretty easy. Whether you’re already a teacher or not, the first thing you should do is add a TEFL certificate to your resume (if you don’t already have one). A TEFL course will help you acquire the skills needed to teach English language learners â€" which can be a little trickier than you’d expect. The great news is that if you take a self-paced, online TEFL certification course, you can also get your TEFL certificate while traveling. Make sure you have all the tools you’ll need to be a great online English teacher. Tech equipment The most important thing you’ll need to take with you is a lightweight laptop with a webcam and microphone built in (or a headset with a microphone). And don’t forget to pack your laptop charger and travel adaptors for all the countries you plan to visit. Teaching props Worried about lesson planning? Don’t be! Most companies, like GoGoKid, provide their own lesson plans for you to follow. But you should also make sure to keep students engaged in your online classroom. To get started, you’ll likely need some banners, flashcards or stuffed animals and puppets.

Most teachers start with at least 20â€"25 hours per week, but you can always work fewer hours â€" or more if you’re feeling ambitious. How much you can earn teaching English online depends entirely on your goals! To make your money last longer while you travel, it’s important to create a budget and stick to it. A great way to extend your travels is by visiting countries with a lower cost of living to make your paycheck go further. One great way to save money on the road is by booking cheap accommodations like hostels, Airbnbs or budget hotels. If you do choose to stay in hostels, it’s best that you book a private room so you have a noise-free space to host your teaching sessions. But if hostels aren’t your thing, Airbnbs give you the freedom and privacy you need to enjoy the comfort of a home away from home. Make sure you read the reviews carefully and let your hosts know that you are an online teacher (if you are only renting a private room), so they know to give you privacy when you need it. Whatever option you choose, make sure there is free WiFi available â€" this is KEY. Keep your expectations in line with reality. While the idea of teaching on the road is exciting and fun, there are still a few things to keep in mind as a new online teacher. Never forget that this is a real job. It’s important to always have a strong work ethic. You are an independent contractor and your reputation matters. Plus, if you miss classes you could be penalized and it could cost you money. Be a well-prepared online teacher. Make sure you always have a strong internet connection and the right software downloaded on your laptop, so you can take your classroom everywhere you go. Be on time for classes and find a place to host your video session. You’ll want to find a private space with minimal noise and distractions so your students can hear you pronounce words, and stay on track. Try to avoid scheduling teaching sessions on relocation days because it can be hard to find a reliable WiFi connection while you’re on the move. Book your teaching sessions around your travel days. And speaking of booking teaching sessions, since the bulk of online teaching companies are based in China, the hours can be tricky. Be mindful of time zones so you can determine peak hours for teaching online. As an online teacher, you are an independent contractor/self-employed so remember to report your income and pay your taxes in your home country. Keep track of all your work-related expenses and hold onto your receipts so you can claim them later on. What counts as a work expense depends on your home country. With all that in mind, there is no reason that you shouldn’t have a relatively smooth remote teaching journey. Begin your travel andteaching journey today! Feeling excited about the possibility of traveling the world while you teach? Jumpstart your online teaching career with an online TEFL certification course. Once you’re done (or if you’re already TEFL certified), you can start applying for online teaching jobs at companies like GoGoKid. While traveling the world and living as a digital nomad is super exciting, just don’t forget to be realistic and treat online teaching like a real job. Now that you’re up to speed.
