1. Find a school that can help you with the processing of your application permit. In the very least, you should agree to get the job ofteaching English with a school abroad if it covers the cost of the work permit. It should also give you the outline of the process so that you would not get lost.
2. Ask the school for certification of being a part of an association of language schools in its country. These associations would usually pride themselves by following guidelines that aim to raise the standards in their business.
3. Determine the qualification guarantees of the school. If it is quite strict about hiring teachers such as having high qualifications, following a syllabus, making regular progress tests, and the like, that is a reputable school. If it does not seem to care at all, that is one shady school you have there.
4. Are you hired just to keep the staff number at a minimum? If you are only hired only to keep up with the minimum required number of TEFL teacher, watch out. But a least, the school should give you anything for professional development.
5. The school library should have the necessary books and other sources that you need for teaching. In teaching English online, you would not have a library to go to but your own mini-library in your room.
6. Put all your agreements in a contract to secure the school’s commitment to you and your commitment to it.
