First thing you should do!
Get a TEFL certification if you haven’t already. I got mine from the International TEFL academy. They are voted #1 in America and have an excellent reputation all across the world. They are a bit pricey, but they are incredible with job placement and they are always by your side helping. Even after you finish the course. You can check out my article on them here and sign up through my link if you would like.
A TEFL will open thousands of doors for you in regard to teaching English as a second language. If you are the adventurous type, you can skip the online teaching jobs and go teach English overseas. Many countries will let you teach without a degree. However, the TEFL certificate will always be your support in those countries.
