1/ Do I need to speak another language?

This is the most common question we get asked, but actually the answer is no, you really don’t need to. You only need to speak English to teach English abroad – this way you can create a complete English speaking atmosphere in your class which is what employers want you to do! You can maximize how much your students learn as they listen to you! Oh and don’t worry – your TEFL course will show you exactly how to teach English to students with only the most basic language skills.

2/ Do I need any previous experience?

Most people think you need to have some kind of previous work experience or even a teaching degree to find jobs abroad. All you need is an i-to-i TEFL qualification and your plane ticket! Having some teaching experience will increase your chances of finding the best jobs but it certainly isn’t necessary to get your TEFL adventure underway.

3/ Do I need a degree?

There are some countries such as Japan and Thailand that require you to have a degree for visa purposes. However, there are also those of countries that don’t – like China, Ecuador or Indonesia!

4/ Do I need to do a CELTA course?

Ahh… the much wondered question that many keen TEFL teachers ask – “which course is right for me?” Well the CELTA (Cambridge Certificate in English language Teaching to Adults) course is an internationally-recognized 4-week residential course, which is designed for people who want to make a full-time career from TEFL. CELTA courses cost upwards of £1,000/$1,597, so it’s certainly a commitment –both in time and money.

i-to-i TEFL courses have the same outcomes as CELTA courses, which means they give you the same skills, but are squeezed into a shorter length of time. If you only plan to spend a year or two teaching abroad then the i-to-i TEFL course saves you a lot of time and money, while giving you all the necessary skills you need to get paid teaching work anywhere in the world. Our TEFL courses are also internationally recognized and accredited by the ODLQC.

Both are winners… it really depends on your plans.

5/ Will I only teach children?

When you think of teaching you right away think of a school and working with children. But learning a new language is open to anyone. You could end up teaching retirees, business people, children, teenagers or young adults. What it all comes down to is the school you’re working in and the contract you agree to!

6/ Can I teach English even if it isn’t my first language?

We recommend non-native English speakers have a Cambridge CAE, IELTS level 6.5 or equivalent when it comes to teaching abroad. But if you can speak English well, you don’t have to prove it to us!

Many schools overseas prefer teachers who speak English as their native language. However, as demand for TEFL teachers is so massive, there are 1000s of schools that will happily take on any fluent English speaker with a TEFL certificate. So don’t let being a non-native speaker put you off.

First of all, one needs to determine the type of transport one’s pet needs in order to get to its destination. Is it neces sary to ship pets by car to another state, or by air or overseas? For instance, to ship a dog by car, one needs less documentation than if one were to ship a horse by land transport. Granted, there are many steps to take to ensure the safety and overall protection of your pet, but these steps can be overcome right at the beginning by determining the kind of transport your pet needs. To ship by car is ultimately easier, because the necessities are reduced. The only things you would need would be supplies such as food, water (preferably frozen), ID tags and a leash, bedding, and dishes. It would also be a good idea to bring along your pet’s health documentation records, for further security. Of course, you need to provide your pet with a travel kennel in which it would be comfortable, meaning they can walk around a bit, sit up, and have ample space for stretching. Professional pet transport services usually provide some of the supplies, so it doesn’t hurt at all to ask them which supplies they provide and which they do not.

To ship by freight is more complicated, though. A professional pet shipping company would need to be hired in order to know the laws and regulations of the place of arrival. To ship by freight to another country, your pet may have to go through several carriers and event ports, same as to ship by boat. A visit to the veterinarian is crucial because the vet will give you a certification, and you have to make sure you time your visit not less than 10 days before leaving, so the veterinarian can check for any ailments or conditions which can be treated beforehand. Furthermore, the professional pet transport service must have the proper license from the USDA as a carrier and handler of animals. It may also lessen your pet’s stress level if the pet transport company is an expert in handling your kind of pet, whether it be a special breed of dog, a cat, or even an untamed wild animal such as a lizard or snake. Upon arrival, be prepared if your pet needs to be quarantined for a few days. It really depends on the laws and regulations of the destination.

The second step is to ask the right questions to the pet transport carrier. The insurance coverage is important, because it increases the protection for your pet and liability for the pet transport service in case something goes wrong. It is not pleasant to think of accidents or calamities when shipping your pet, but it’s a necessary evil so you and your pet will be increasingly protected. The insurance usually covers loss, injury, and even death while transport, but will not normally cover illness or death by natural causes. If you ship by car to a destination yourself, then the insurance will obviously not be an issue.

Ultimately, to ship pets should not be a traumatic experience for you and your beloved animal. Make sure to prepare your pet with lots of hugs and training as well, and you’re all set.

Before choosing a mover, though, here are some crucial moving tips and steps to take. One of these is assessing if you need local movers or long distance movers. Even if you are just moving locally, there are some important factors to think about and adhere to. Make sure that the mover you choose has insurance coverage, and have state and federal level licensing.

There are also different types of moving services available, and you need to choose which one to get for your utmost convenience and comfort. Professional moving services include the popular Do-It-Yourself move, where moving cheap is the driving motive of customers. In this case, you are responsible for everything – loading and unloading a truck (preferably with the help of concerned friends and family), packing your valuables, and first and foremost, renting a truck or trailer which can accommodate all your possessions, and driving it from your current home or office to your final destination. Opting for a DIY moving service saves money, but it is best to do it over a weekend so as not to interfere with your job and other responsibilities.

Another alternative is Full Service movers, which are moving services which take charge of the whole moving process. These movers are very professional, and deliver their services in a timely manner, with the addition of packing your valuables, driving them, and loading and unloading them. This method is more expensive than the DIY move, but it’s not surprising because it is handled by fully-licensed professionals and includes insurance coverage. If you have fragile furniture that needs to be handled or packed in a certain way (like a piano or chandelier), full service movers might be a good idea.

Other moving tips include keeping a running checklist – either in your head or in a journal or diary. Always keep track of the expenses for moving, because before you know it, moving cheap will be a pipe dream. There are certain expenses that are completely necessary, and there are those which are unnecessary. Necessary fees and expenses include insurance and truck rental for DIY moving and a moving company fee for a full service move. Other expenses may be considered necessary depending on your method, which for a DIY move includes gas, mileage charges, and equipment. For a full service move, additional expenses include tips and specialty services. Needless to say, if you have furniture that needs special or professional packing, this is an added charge.

Car moving is another aspect of a move that needs to be carefully considered. If you have several cars that need to be transported, it is best to seek the services of an auto shipping company which have their own trailers. If you have only one car to be moved, you can choose to rent a truck which has a car carrier or car dolly at the rear, and simply hook the car to the moving truck.

Making the right decisions result in a better, and even more fun and exciting, moving experience.
