TEFL but with excellent pay

    Hi,

    This is an enquiry about well paid TEFL jobs in Europe. I've no degree, about to study one actually (business), but I've an 120hr TEFL cert and about 4 months experience abroad teaching mostly business English. Can anyone suggest a place in Europe where I can work for 3 months this summer and make good money relative to Ireland's standard of living? Note I've quite a bit of experience working with children through youth work, I would be interested in summer schools too (more so than teaching business English actually). Best pay I've seen is €25 p/h but that's not much when you consider preparation and travel to the clients that's expected and the cost of living in that country.

    Maybe I'm asking too much, but thanks for any suggestions.

    a lot of the camp positions for tefl and other kid-related areas are quite low paying in the summer months and the positions are or at least were taken up by students in the middle of their degrees. Most would end up with a profit of about 3-4 hundred euro after they paid for their flights and things like that.

    I don't fancy your chances of getting a highly paid job with such a short amount of experience (4 months), no degree and one of the lower levels of tefl certification.

    However, making your cv look good and getting an interview would be a start. Then you could have a great interview, allowing you to sell yourself and get the job.

    I wish you luck. The higher paid TEFL jobs would require experience, a degree and possible a DELTA.
