I’m looking into getting my TEFL certification and I’m wanting to live and work in Europe, specifically a Scandinavian country. I love teaching and I have a BA degree in education. I’m looking to improve my quality of life, experience new cultures, and generally want to be somewhere I can feel safe.
How likely is it that I could get an ESL job as an American? I heard it’s difficult if you aren’t from the EU. I do have 2 years of full time teaching experience in public schools.
It can also be worth your while to focus on smaller cities. Perhaps not as much fun as the capitals or mega cities, but demand is higher for native speakers in the second or third largest cities and immigration laws seem easier to bend.
