Take a Career Break to Teach English Overseas
The ability to speak English is a vital skill throughout the world and, if you can read this, it's one that you have. Teaching and Projects Abroad recruit volunteers prepared to give a three to 12 month commitment to teaching in eastern Europe, Asia, Africa or Latin America.
By linking up with Teaching and Projects Abroad you will relieve yourself from the worries of organising a job and getting a TEFL qualification.
The working week is 18 hours long and will vary from country to country. In India and Ghana volunteers will usually teach school children. In Russia, the Ukraine and Mexico you will probably teach adults.
Students will understand that you are not a trained teacher - no teaching qualifications are needed but applicants should be educated to A level or high school diploma level - and teachers are supplied with lots of ideas for devising your own teaching programme. There are few other requirements to be a volunteer teacher; most volunteers are between 18 to 25 but those aged up to 70 are accepted.
Teachers are housed with local families or with other teachers in hostels, and meals are supplied free with your programme costs. These are (for three months):
Argentina £1995
Bolivia £1845
Brazil £1995
Cambodia £1895
China £1995
Costa Rica £1995
Ethiopia £1995

Peru £1695
Romania £1995

The above prices (updated for 2008) include three months of food, accommodation, insurance and support services. Extra months anywhere can be added for £495 to £595pm (depending on country). Volunteers should apply nine months before they wish to leave.
Teaching & Projects Abroad run a number of other programmes including journalism, archaeology, business, volcanology and conservation.
