A career in Teaching has many possibilities, from teaching primary or secondary education in a school, further education in a college and higher education at University, to giving private tuition, teaching English as a foreign language or teaching adults. There are also opportunities to work in areas such as career guidance, educational psychology, education administration and environmental education.
There are also a lot of teaching and training opportunities available in other areas of the public sector and private industry. These can range from the application of specific professional and vocational skills to the support of learners with specific needs such as English or maths, and can also include diverse areas like offender learning.
A career in this industry can be incredibly rewarding, as you’ll be helping students to learn and sharing your enthusiasm for a subject you enjoy.
