Re: Bringing your Family Abroad

with the large population of teachers in Asia, it's a bit hard to find an employer that would provide housing for you and your family.

The EU too is a bit hard to penetrate since most employers prefer EU residents already. If you have European lineage, it may be easier to get a work visa, depending on the country.

I have a colleague that went to the middle east, Qatar if memory serves, and she says her employer took care of almost everything: fully furnished house even a car, though she had to say no to the car since she can't drive.

South America... may not be a good idea...

Bringing your Family Abroad

Hello, I am an American in my mid-thirties. I have a Master's degree and am an English Instructor at a college part-time. I am considering becoming certified in TESL and perhaps teaching abroad. However, I have a husband and toddler (therefore schooling for her is not an issue) that I would like to bring along. With school and day care not an issue for the child, do you think this is plausible? What is the best way to go about finding an organization supportive of teachers bringing their families, one that might provide housing for a family? Where is the best pay to support a family and save money? Any information, especially first or second hand experiences would be very helpful.
