Every year thousands of people head overseas to teach in foreign countries. But too many people never make it because they feel daunted by the process. They don’t know where to begin. While I flew to Thailand, and jumped right into the process, it’s not that easy for others. Which is here this book comes in – it makes the process of understanding and finding a teaching job simple and extremely easy. This book lays out a clear and simple path to what you need to get a job, where you can find one, and what you can expect when you start teaching.
One of the greatest things I’ve done while traveling was teach overseas. Back before I had this website, I taught English in Thailand and Taiwan. Teaching English abroad is a great way for people without a lot of money to head overseas, learn a new culture, experience personal growth, and make good money that can be put towards paying off student loans, or (even better) more traveling. With this book, you will be able to teach anywhere in the world.

How is this book different?
A Google search about teaching overseas brings up millions of website results that are most often junk sites, filled with Google ads, spam, TEFL companies, outdated information, and sponsored ads for placement agencies that charge you to get a job. It’s hard to know what information is for real and what information is designed simply to get money from you.
But this book is designed and written by teachers. Not only does this book draw on my own experience as an English teacher but had friends contribute to this book as well as give interviews for it. This book is written by those who have taught overseas for people looking to teach overseas. It’s 100% honest. It’s 100% real. No spam or false promises. Just an honest telling of the process and life of a teacher.

What Others Say:
“My favourite part of the book, however, is the crapload of information about teaching in different countries. It’s damned near impossible to find all this stuff rounded up in one location. There’s nobody trying to sell you a job, it’s all honest, raw information. Matt’s no novice either, he’s taught in both Taiwan and Thailand, so he knows what he’s talking about.” – Candice Walsh
“What little bit of research I’ve done has been stressful. Google searches provide heaps of sites filled with spam, outdated content, and inconsistent information. What I found most beneficial in How To Teach English Overseas was the chapter that goes into specific detail on each country you could ever imagine yourself teaching English in (and even ones you couldn’t). Matt lists dozens of countries and explains how to get a visa to teach there, the specifics of pay and cost of living, benefits you’d receive as a teacher, and links that point you to more information.” -Backpacking Matt
“Matt’s book is an inviting and useful how-to manual for future ESL teachers. His advice is valuable and he got his facts straight and on target. The book is also a fun read and well illustrated.” – Thomas
“I loved the simplicity of the book. Very easy to work around, all the necessary information is in one place and goes into just the right amount of detail. Now I’m in the middle of a part time CELTA course, looking at going to Korea for a year before returning closer to home in Spain.” – Scott
