Teaching in Europe
With more than 1,200 international schools and within easy reach of Britain, Europe is a popular destination for teachings looking to work abroad. Europe offers an enticing collection of modern attractions mixed with old-world charm, an ideal location to balance work and play.

The weather across Europe, very much like each individual country is varied to say the least. Depending on where you choose to live will depend on how extreme the seasons may be.

With plane, train and bus travel all being very affordable.
