Common questions
Is ESL Careers really free for teachers?+
Yes. Submitting a teacher profile, browsing jobs, applying to jobs, and receiving job alerts are free for teachers. Employers pay for job-board and hiring tools.
Who sees my resume?+
Your resume is not public or indexed by search engines. ESL Careers uses teacher profiles for job applications and employer-review workflows. Direct applications are shared only with the employer behind that job.
What qualifications do I need?+
It depends on the role and country. Most public school and hagwon positions require a bachelor's degree and a 120-hour TEFL certificate. Online roles are more flexible. Job posts should include role requirements when they are available, and you should always confirm visa and school requirements before accepting an offer.
How long does it take to hear back?+
There is no guaranteed response time. Timing depends on employer demand, your target regions, and your credentials. Complete profiles with a TEFL certificate, clear availability, target regions, and a short teaching intro are easiest to review.
Can I teach English without a degree?+
Yes, but options narrow. Online platforms, some private academies in Latin America and Southeast Asia, and tutoring marketplaces hire without a degree. Visa-sponsored roles in Korea, Japan, China, and the Gulf almost always require a bachelor's.
