Do you already have a career but find it dull and, quite frankly, boring as hell!
Or perhaps you are just looking to completely change up your life and add some spice. Teaching English as a Second Language in a foreign country can be a very exciting career move.
And the best part is the barrier to entry is very minimal. It doesnt matter your age, ethnicity or sometimes even your prior education. What does matter is that you have a passion for teaching and connecting with other people. You enjoy other human interaction and the more you like to speak, the better you will be for teaching ESL.
Yes, if you are a bit shy, you can still be a teacher.
But is you are outgoing, spontaneous and have a gift for gab, your ESL career will benefit greatly. Now most of what I am writing here is directed to those of you who come from English speaking countries in the first place. If that isnt the case, but you really have a passion for teaching ESL it is still possible.
There will always be those students with less ability than you. But one thing to keep in mind, not coming from a native English speaking country but choosing to teach English may directly effect your salary. People are always more willing to pay a native speaker more than a non-native speaker. I am not speculating if this practice is right or wrong.
