Overview of Opportunities
We serve K-12 schools, language centers, universities and seminaries, teacher training, English camps, and in any other place where teaching and learning occurs, formally or informally.
Serve as an Educator
Serve as a Christian educator at one of many Christian schools overseas. You can work at a school serving the local students, expatriates, or missionary kids (MKs). Search the Opportunity Board to see the many possibilities.
Support Staff
You want to serve God overseas using the gifts and abilities He’s given you, but you’re not a teacher or administrator. Is there a place for you in TeachBeyond? Yes! It takes many people with a variety of skills and backgrounds to run schools, education projects, and a mission organization.
English as Outreach
People worldwide are clamoring to learn English so they can get better jobs and better pay. Speaking English is an important skill for so many reasons. It’s exciting to see how the Holy Spirit is using this desire to learn English to bring people into a relationship with Jesus Christ. God is working through teachers, camp counselors, and interns who have answered the call to go and serve.
Education to the Displaced and Marginalized
Through Beyond Borders we send Christian educators, administrators and staff—with a heart for relationship and a call to live out and proclaim the Good News—to provide educational solutions to the displaced and marginalized.
English Camps
Teens in many parts of the world want to learn English—and what better place to learn than at our fun, summer English Camps! Many gifts and talents can be used. If you are aged 19 or over, consider joining us as an English teacher, team leader, or worship leader. We’ll train you for your role!
Short-Term Opportunities
If you would love to serve but can’t serve long-term, we have many opportunities for you. Some are a few weeks or months overseas and some allow you to stay where you are and work part-time.
Many Different Schools
International Schools
Our staff serve the greater missions movement as we care for and train the next generation. Third Culture Kids (TCKs), children who grow up outside of their passport countries, have special blessings and abilities, but also are faced with academic, relational, and faith struggles. We mentor and act as a conduit for spiritual growth, in addition to providing high-quality instruction and extra-curricular activities.
National Schools
Our staff are welcomed into diverse environments as educators—first trusted as teachers and then as members of the community. God has called TeachBeyond to be an agent of Holy Spirit-empowered transformation among those whom we serve: educators, learners, organizations, and communities.
Higher Ed/University
Through TeachBeyond, Christian faculty and staff have the opportunity to connect with students, colleagues, and communities through higher education around the world — and to offer expertise and time, a meaningful way to contribute to the Great Commission.
Some of the opportunities include:
- teaching/lecturing (short or long-term) in a university or seminary
- educating teachers: using your classroom experience to better equip teachers in developing regions
- consulting and advising university start-ups and programs
- teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at adult learning centers and universities
Short-Term or Part-Time
English Camps
English language skills are highly sought after in many parts of the world. Working together with a national host, TeachBeyond provides English language learning opportunities taught by native English speakers. Typically, TeachBeyond has provided these services in summer camp settings. National hosts provide follow-up and discipleship. You can even send a full team. Sound interesting? Here is a list of camps.
English Intensives
Would you like to spend 3-10 weeks teaching English and building relationships in an overseas context? TeachBeyond offers English Intensives of varying lengths, with the majority of them taking place in the summer. These programs go beyond conversational English to also include the teaching of reading, writing, listening, or TOEFL preparation. Students range in age from high school through adults, some of whom are classroom teachers wanting to improve their English. We invite you to check out these opportunities to serve with us in Europe, Southeast Asia, or elsewhere.
Associate Ministry Opportunities
Become a resource for our educators serving overseas. We need volunteers who are experienced teachers and administrators able to fill in for one month to one semester in an emergency. We are also looking for educational consultants, translators, and writers experienced in the areas of PK-12, higher education, and English language learning to support existing and developing TeachBeyond projects. Some of the jobs can be done via Skype, without leaving home.
Internships
We can facilitate formal internships for university students who would need them as part of their degree program. Internships can often be done through serving in one or more of our English Camps or Intensives, but we can also often arrange customized internships with our offices and schools/projects around the world in teaching, communications (writing, editing or graphic design), advancement, human resources, and other areas.
Business as Missions
Business Partnerships
TeachBeyond’s LinGo English Language Center is a business that values:
- Integrity and honest business dealings
- Professional service to its students and the community
- Creative, trained teachers who pursue excellence and best-practice methods and who exhibit Christian character and maturity
- Creativity and a learning atmosphere that is both enjoyable but also encourages students to learn English well
There is a huge demand for people to learn English. Together we can help you develop a plan to provide programming and to develop all aspects of a language center–from initial site visit and business planning to hiring staff and providing professional development.
If you are an experienced business person with a desire to serve Christ in all you do, we welcome you to partner with us. And…if you have never owned a business, we can help you get started.

English Language Schools
Are you up for a challenge: to help students learn English well, but also have them enjoy the learning process? Are you a person who wants to pursue excellence, follow best-practice methods, and be a Christian witness through your life and character?
At a TeachBeyond LinGo English Language Center, you have the possibility of engaging with students in small groups and in tutoring situations. Students can range in age from 3-83. While each location is slightly different, programming can include English test preparation, executive English, after-school children’s programming, and much more.
If you have teaching experience and/or a TESOL certificate or degree, that is a plus, but not a necessity. We provide curriculum and training and offer ongoing professional development for our staff.
