The opportunity of a lifetime


This area of eteach.com offers advice, resources and help finding work for those teachers wishing to visit the UK from abroad.

Travelling to the United Kingdom is the opportunity of a lifetime. The UK is not only steeped in history and culture, it’s also home to some of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world.

Variation is the key to the UK’s charms – and that’s not just the weather! Despite the comparatively small geographical scale of the country, visitors to the UK will be surprised by the degree of local difference, even over a short distance. With one glance you can take in beautiful architecture, both rugged and tranquil countryside, proud heritage and varied local tradition. Look again and you’ll see bustling towns and cities, luxury shops and services, exciting nightlife and a vigorous economy.

The UK is also the gateway to Europe for millions of travellers. For teachers wishing to travel Europe, the UK is a great place to start. You can earn great money and enjoy the experience of teaching in an entirely new education system and culture. UK schools have 13 weeks of holidays across the year, so it’s easy to get into Europe - especially as many capitals are less than two hours away.

We’ve put together the following resources and links to help you get started teaching in the UK.
