Do you need a degree for TEFL? Teaching English without a degree is, fortunately, possible. Regardless of your educational history, there are plenty of language schools that will be happy to employ you.

There is no reason why an English teacher with a university degree would be more effective than one without. Certain traits (passion, commitment, and the ability to create rapport with your students, for example) are more important than a...  [Read more]

Tue, 04 Feb 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Reasons Why You Should Complete a TEFL Course Before Starting Teaching Many non-native English speaking countries only require teachers to have a bachelor's degree, and it can be in any field.
