China Tops Teacher Salaries, Flood of New Jobs in Latin America
After last year’s tightening of visa restrictions for foreigners, China’s ESL market now seems to be once again opening up. As the door creaks open, recruiters are competing for qualified teachers, and salaries are seeing a very nice boost! China now stands toe-to-toe with Saudi Arabia in offering some of the best pay for ESL teachers worldwide.
Closer to home, the demand to learn English continues to grow in Latin America, with new opportunities every day, particularly in Colombia. A reliable ESL market even during the height of the pandemic, with improved conditions we are now seeing the beginnings of what we hope will be a resurgence in the industry. With a well-developed online presence to help bridge the gap to in-person classes, recruiters in Latin America are eager to bring in native speakers, with hundreds of recent openings!

Our Job Placement Advisors, similar to our Course Instructors, bring their extensive global experience and knowledge to guide you to your best adventure.
I’ll admit right off the bat that I was wary and unsure of how to approach searching for jobs overseas, as the vast quantity of them was simply overwhelming. Thankfully, with the help of Oxford Seminars and its placement program, the whole process was really streamlined. My Job Placement Advisors did a lot of work on their end, and I was soon buried under an avalanche of phone and Skype interviews. - N.E., Vancouver, BC
