Make money while you study with TEFL

Aug. 31, 2012 - PRLog -- Universities and colleges all over the country will soon see an influx of their new, 1st year students.  Perhaps anxious about their impending life as a student away from home, one of the main worries amongst young people in higher education is how they’ll possibly afford the rising costs. Returning students realise this as an important issue too, with most of them working and saving all summer to fund their next year.

Some students may look to find part time employment in bars or restaurants during term-time, but often these come with unsociable and uncontrollable hours – not ideal for those who like to enjoy the nightlife or those who plan on spending a lot of time in the library. It can become a delicate balancing act between work, play and education - many may end up prioritising wrongly.

TEFL England is a training organisation offering the opportunity for students (and non-students) to work by teaching English online. TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) teachers are in huge demand worldwide. This allows people the chance to earn money from the comfort of their own home and gain valuable work experience.
There are obviously no commuting costs, and your teaching schedule can be planned around when you have free time. Build up a good reputation as a TEFL teacher means that those you teach can recommend you to others, providing you with loyal student base with which to work.

A TEFL England representative stated that:

“Teaching online is a really great way to use your TEFL certificate, especially if you want to earn some money as an English teacher but don’t want to go abroad to do it. There are endless opportunities online, simply because demand is so high - especially in emerging economies like China.”

Higher education is for studying, there’s no doubt about that. However, the immense costs involved can really set people back. This is a great option for those who may want to work and earn some money when it suits them best; without it interfering with their educational and social lives.
