5 Great Places to Teach English Abroad Without a Degree
As there is a strong demand for English language teachers in countless countries in almost every region of the world, it is inevitable that the qualifications required by teachers will often vary. In some countries, it is government policy or a work visa requirement that teachers possess a four-year degree to be eligible to work legally. However, for those without a degree, there is no need to despair as there are also plenty of countries worldwide where you can confidently look for teaching jobs with no need to hold any specific academic qualifications.

Living and Teaching English in Cambodia - Habits, Customs & Curiosities
Unlike its neighbor, Thailand, Cambodia does not have a particularly long history as a tourist destination or as a location for teaching English abroad. However, that has started to change as huge improvements in infrastructure and a countrywide drive to raise the standard of English have seen a large increase in opportunities for teachers of all nationalities. The fact that Cambodia doesn’t have an overcrowded market for foreign teachers is certainly part of its appeal, as is the stunning natural beauty that ranges from rainforest covered mountains to white sand beaches. The country’s vibrant cities also offer all manner of entertainment to enjoy in your free time.
