Where in London will I find a teaching job?

Teaching jobs in London abound: Whether you are looking to become a teacher in North or South London, London East, West or London City itself, chances are that you will find some very good job leads on these pages.

There are many factors that will determine how much you can earn as a teacher in London, and geographical location will obviously be one these. In addition to your actual earnings as a teacher, you will also need to factor in your travelling expenses - not to mention commuting time. This is one of the reasons that teachers in Inner London earn more than in other more outlying parts of the city. (see comparison of London teaching salaries) Other key criteria include your actual teaching qualification, the nature of the teaching job as well as the amount of previous experience you've had in that type of teaching job.

Another bourgeoning source of employment in London is TEFL teaching jobs. Teaching English as a foreign language in London could be potentially be lucrative, and plenty of TEFL jobs in London are published on a regular basis. As such, it may be wise to consider taking a relevant ESOL certificate course.

How do I qualify to become a teacher?

The criteria for becoming a teacher in London are pretty much the same as being an accredited teacher anywhere else in the Western world. A suitable tertiary qualification, combined with a relevant teaching diploma, essentially constitutes the basic minimum requirements for securing a teaching job in London. Having Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or being a Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) is but a start. Yet as the competition for work increases, so the average profile of successful candidates starts featuring higher qualifications and more extensive teaching experience. This applies for mainstream teaching jobs and special needs teaching jobs alike, so experience becomes key in terms of landing your dream teaching position in London.
