What ESL Employers Actually Look For

Eligibility and classroom evidence both matter

Employers consider both eligibility and teaching evidence. Degrees, licenses, certifications, and work permission can be mandatory; classroom skill does not replace them. Show how you plan for learners, check understanding, manage participation, adapt, collaborate, and meet commitments. Requirements differ by role, school, and destination. Use the actual vacancy and official eligibility information rather than assuming one employer profile fits every ESL job.
