 Step to paying off your student loans while teaching English abroad, get a TEFL certificate. I know what you are thinking. How is getting an expensive TEFL certificate helping to pay off your loans? The simple fact is that teachers with a TEFL qualification earn higher salaries, and the cost of the certification course is often paid back after your first or second paycheck. Moreover, a high quality TEFL course isn't as expensive as you might think. You can get an internationally accredited TEFL or TESOL certification from ITTT starting at US$199. The key here is to think for the long term. If you go abroad to earn money and to pay off your student debt, you might as well make the most amount of money possible, right?
