Teaching overseas

[Ineedaholiday1]

I am thinking about teaching overseas possibly Thailand or Spain (in British Schools). I am married with 2 young children. I just wondered if anyone had done this with a family and the pros and cons. Also any info on what it is like to teach in Thailand or Spain would be amazing. Also when it says competitive salary any idea of the range that might be

I am currently applying for jobs literally everywhere ! Out of the 5billion schools I have applied to, I have had a first and second interview with 2 schools.

Competitive salary differs drastically and I know in Thailand it depends on what tier of school. Some jobs pay very little even with a low cost of living whilst others pay big bucks . Whatever school you choose to apply for definitely do your research on it and what people say about it.

In the very little interviews I had I found it deeply frustrating that none of them were clear about the package. In fact they didn’t even address it so I had to (uncomfortably) ask. Don’t know if that is routine?

With two kids though I definitely think it’s a great opportunity to travel and expose your children to different cultures. I would jump at the opportunity! Problem is I have 3 kids and most schools are reluctant to take on me and my kids. An agent actually told me I had too many kids! 😱
