There is a great need for ESL teachers, especially in areas where immigration is high. Most ESL teachers work in elementary or secondary schools and teach children who move to an English speaking country. However, many adult immigrants also need to learn to speak English, so there are also many opportunities for ESL teachers to work in a community college or universities and community centers or as private tutors.

Education and Training

As an ESL teacher, you will need to have a basic teaching certification and a specialized ESL certification. This means that most ESL teachers have a bachelor's degree. Some people have a bachelor's from a ESL program or another language and then add on the certification.

ESL Careers

As a native speaker of English you are in high demand for teaching positions in your state and around the world. Not only do you bring your spoken English to the classroom, but you also bring your innate understanding of the language – you know the unique way in which English functions in the real world, rather than just what can be learned from a book – the slang, the idiosyncrasies, the customs of the language.

There are literally thousands of and ESOL jobs and opportunities available worldwide right now. If you can speak English fluently then you can teach English and you can become involved in this exciting and growing global industry. If you enjoy teachers others and at the same time learning about other people and new cultures, an ESOL career might be for you.

Expected Salary and Projected Career Growth

Over the last decade, the demand for qualified English teachers has grown. Overseas employers now seek out people who have completed at least some basic training in teaching English and people who have an understanding of what is required once they enter the classroom.

Private tutor salaries are hard to estimate because they vary by location but an ESL teacher in a school would make about the same as other teachers. The salaries start of at around $26,000 and $36,000 a year and can grow up to over $70,000 a year, with experience and further education and training in ESL programs.
