  • Make a difference teaching others about your own language and culture
  • Experience a new culture and see the world
  • Become an active member of a foreign community
  • Establish new friendships and contacts
  • Earn money to support expenses while living and traveling abroad

Teach in China

Experience the life and culture in this exciting and rapidly-changing country! You’ll earn a very good local salary, have free accommodation provided by your host institution and enjoy a challenging, worthwhile teaching experience. You will also have plenty of time for travel and sightseeing! The Teach in China program provides overseas teaching jobs to citizens of the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.

Teach in Thailand

Teach in Thailand to meet the locals that will show you the Thailand behind the news stories. Travel to work on a speeding tuk-tuk, be dazzled by downtown Bangkok, meet the keepers of ancient temples, and become part of the school community.
The IST PLUS Teach in Thailand program works with our Thai partner Overseas Educational Group to place individuals just like you in paid five or ten month positions teaching English at primary or secondary schools in urban, town or rural locations. Anywhere you teach in Thailand, you will have the opportunity to learn Thai customs, share your own way of life, and have new experiences that make it impossible to take even the smallest things for granted.

As an IST PLUS participant you’ll have an opportunity to fulfill the role as a highly respected English teacher within the Thai education system. You’ve spent your life speaking English, now share this knowledge with second language learners. Being a teacher is an impressive accolade, no matter what path you choose to travel. Whether your future plans include continued travel, service work, going back to school, or diving into a highly competitive workforce, exercising your communication and people skills internationally in Thailand is sure to boost your credentials and prospects.
