Hi I just checked the FAQ's and it says that in most cases you need to be a licensed teacher with 1 to 2 years of experience. I am looking for a position as a Maths/Physics/ Science teacher but I do not have a teaching qualification. Instead of this I have a Honours Bachelors in Physics and a MSc in Quantitative Finance, I was wondering if these would make some teaching positions available for me? Thanks

    Hello Alberto:

    Welcome to the forum! Typically to teach and to teach internationally, you will need teaching qualifications and some years of teaching experience. If you do not have a teaching license, your best option in finding something that you might be qualified for is ESL Teaching positions (you can view them here : https://www.teachaway.com/teaching-jobs-abroad?loc=All&jcat=ESL+Teaching&sub=All&lvl=All)

    I might suggest that you also look into getting ESL certified (https://www.teachaway.com/teacher-professional-development), this will not only increase your chances of landing a position but more importantly, it will prepare you for it!

    Hope this helps
