Certification to get a job as an international teacher

Post by danielthomas »

Hello, my name is Daniel Thomas, from Brazil
I am graduated in mathematics and had already worked abroad teaching english in a language institute in Venezuela. Now I am willing to start looking for jobs abroad again as an international teacher.
What kind of certification is the most asked for the international schools?
Where I can get them?
I saw in the job descriptions that most of the schools ask to be a native english speaker, how hard has it been for people who are not native speaker?

The certification would usually come from your local education council or equivalent or in the place where you did your teaching qualifications. Having a certification is more important than where it comes from. Math is highly sought after. Having IB and AP experience/training is highly desirable after you have your teaching qualifications.

In my school there are teachers that are non-native English speakers and I think you could be successful in finding a placement as a Math teacher.
