How does the TEFL Country Eligibility Checker determine eligibility?

"Our TEFL Earnings Projection Tool uses country-specific salary data and teaching industry benchmarks to estimate your potential income. It factors in location, weekly teaching hours, experience level, and whether you teach online or in person. The tool also considers common benefits like housing or flight allowances and local tax information to give you a realistic monthly earnings estimate.

Is the TEFL Country Eligibility Checker free to use?

Yes, the Explorer is completely free. Our goal is to empower prospective TEFL teachers with valuable insights on job availability, expected salaries, and key requirements—no hidden fees or subscriptions required.

What details do I need to enter to check my eligibility?

You'll be asked to select a country or region, your experience level, TEFL certification status, whether you're a native or non-native English speaker, and whether you hold a degree. These details help us tailor the job market insights to your specific profile.

What details do I need to enter to check my eligibility?

While we strive for accuracy, the salary ranges and requirements are approximations based on current market data and common teaching contracts in each region. Salaries can vary based on factors like city vs. rural placement, type of school (public, private, language institute), and currency fluctuations.

Can I see which countries accept my qualifications?

The TEFL Job Market Explorer provides an overview of demand, approximate salaries, and requirements rather than direct job listings. If you want to search active positions, we recommend visiting dedicated job boards or agency sites. For more advanced training or practical experience, check out our TEFL internships and TEFL courses.

Will the Checker show me visa and work requirements?

Absolutely. The tool's input fields include experience levels. Whether you're a first-time teacher or a seasoned professional, the Explorer customizes insights based on your background, making it relevant for all TEFL aspirants.

How often is the eligibility information updated?

We review and refresh our data periodically to keep pace with changing market dynamics, visa regulations, and shifts in educational demand. However, international job markets can change rapidly—always cross-reference our insights with real-time job postings and official immigration requirements.

Can the TEFL Country Eligibility Checker help me plan my teaching journey abroad?

Yes. By highlighting demand, salary estimates, and regional requirements, the tool helps you decide where your skills might be most valued. We also recommend exploring your broader career goals, like pursuing specialization (e.g., Business English) or enrolling in advanced TEFL courses to maximize your employability.
