Many of the positions that we have available are suitable for teachers beginning their career. The only essential qualifications are:

You must be a native speaker of English

You must have a university degree

You must have a TEFL certificate

It does not matter what subject your degree is in, although preference may be given to candidates with degrees in languages or related subjects. Competence in a foreign language is not a requirement for most posts, although some of our client schools are seeking teachers of other European languages as well as English. You will not be required to speak Greek.

We accept applications from EU citizens who are already TEFL qualified as long as their TEFL course meets three essential criteria:

At least 120 hours face-to-face tuition

At least six hours observed teaching practice

External moderation

Apart from TEFL International, that includes CELTA and Trinity.

We do not accept applications where the TEFL course is online, shorter than four weeks, or doesn't include teaching practice.

Greece is an EU country and it is easier for EU nationals to find teaching jobs than for non-EU nationals.

Apart from graduates of the TEFL International TEFL course, we are not able to assist non-EU nationals in finding teaching work in Greece.
