Teaching House Job Assistance

Does Teaching House help with finding a job inside and outside the United States?

Yes. Job-finding assistance is included free of charge for all successful trainees of our courses. We aim to help each trainee find a suitable ESL job in the country of their choosing.
This process starts when our trainees complete a résumé and model cover letter during the course. Tutors and trainees then work together to develop the résumé to ensure it is professional looking and provides all the essential information a language school Director of Studies is looking for. Teaching House also has two unique job assistance tools that are exclusively available to our graduates:

My Teaching House – Job Postings
Because of the professional standing Teaching House and the CELTA course has in New York and around the world, schools are keen to employ our graduates. To help with this, schools post jobs onto ‘My Teaching House’ - a section of the website available only to Teaching House students and graduates.

My Teaching House – School Database
Locating language schools in a city or country you wish to work in is not always easy. Often schools are solely advertising for students, and as such only use the local language on their websites. Being new to a city also means you may not be clear on how to find schools (on the web, or otherwise). In light of this, Teaching House has compiled the ‘School Database’, a powerful program which categories schools by location. At present, there are over 10,000 schools in the database – so whether you’re planning to work in New York or New Delhi, you’ll have instant access to the contact details of the schools there.

In addition, we also offer advice and suggestions on what to expect when teaching in different parts of the world and cultural considerations. We also run mock interviews on the course, giving trainees an opportunity to answer the kinds of questions they’ll be asked in an actual interview. And our work does not just stop when you graduate; access to My Teaching House is available for life and we are more than happy to help you with job-related issues, provide references and give advice beyond the end of the course.

Taking the CELTA at Teaching House is a smart move - The CELTA is widely recognized as the leading TEFL certification by private language schools around the world and is held in very high regard by a number of community college ESL programs. Successful candidates do not usually have difficulty in finding work.
