International Teaching Research Resource & Navigation Guide
Transform Your International Teaching Research from Overwhelming to Organized
"Best purchase ever!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I'll be honest - I was skeptical about buying another 'teaching guide.' But after three failed attempts at landing international positions (including two embarrassing interviews where I clearly had no clue about market realities), I was desperate. This guide was a game-changer. The salary tier breakdown alone saved me from making a huge mistake - I was about to accept a lowball offer in Thailand when I realized I could earn double in Kuwait for the same role. The subject demand analysis showed me that my physics background was actually in HIGH demand, not a limitation like I thought. Six months later, I'm teaching IB Physics in Singapore with a pathway to curriculum coordination. My only regret? Not buying this guide two years ago when I first started looking internationally."

What Clients Say About Us
"I was drowning in endless research when I found the Market Research Guide. Having all the job platforms, Facebook groups, and country-specific resources organized in one place was a lifesaver. The Career Strategy Session helped me focus on realistic goals, and I landed my dream position in Dubai within 3 months!"
💬 Nonkululeko Sithole
Primary Teacher | South Africa → UAE
"That contract looked perfect until Mpume's review revealed the hidden problems. She helped me negotiate an extra $8,000 in housing allowance and better leave terms. The Qatar Schools Directory was gold - I applied directly to 5 top schools instead of wasting time on random applications. "
💬 Matthew Covenden
Mathematics Teacher | UK → Qatar
"Three countries, dozens of job sites, countless Facebook groups - the Market Research Guide organized everything I needed in one document. No more missed opportunities. Combined with the interview coaching, I went from zero international experience to three job offers in Singapore's best schools."
💬 Derick Harris
English Teacher | Canada → Singapore

POPULAR QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions ?
Everything you need to know about starting your international teaching journey with confidence
What Makes Expat Teacher's Lounge Different From Other Services?
We don't just give you generic advice. Our founder Mpume has personally navigated the international teaching market and understands the real challenges teachers face. We provide country-specific guidance, actual school contacts, and step-by-step roadmaps that have helped over 2,800+ teachers secure positions worldwide. Plus, we respond to every question within 24 hours.
How Long Does It Take To Secure An International Teaching Position?
Most teachers using our systematic approach secure interviews within 2-3 months and job offers within 3-6 months. However, this depends on your qualifications, target countries, and how closely you follow our proven timeline. Teachers who start during peak hiring seasons (October-February) typically see faster results.
Do I Need Years Of Experience To Teach Internationally?
Not necessarily! While some countries prefer 2+ years of experience, many international schools hire newly qualified teachers, especially in high-demand subjects like Math, Science, and English. Our Market Research Guide shows you exactly which countries and schools welcome early-career teachers.
What Types Of Consultation Sessions Do You Offer?
We offer 7 specialized consultation types: Quick Start (30 min overview), Career Strategy Session (goal setting and country selection), Resume & Cover Letter Review (ATS optimization), Contract Review & Negotiation (protect your interests), Interview Preparation (practice and confidence building), Relocation Planning (logistics and cultural prep), and VIP Deep Dive (comprehensive 90-minute strategy session). Each session is tailored to your specific needs and career stage.
