The following summary will look at how one can build a successful teaching career overseas.  Just as with any career, be within your home country or abroad, there are a number of aspects that could affect one`s success.  When teaching overseas, one can encounter periods of stagnant or monotonous routines that could demotivate and cause a lack of interest from a teacher. Daily routines could also leave one complacent and unaware of any low quality work. Furthermore, factors such as being away from home, family and friends as well as familiar settings could severely affect one`s success as a teacher. Finally a successful teaching career can also be affected by the teacher`s skills-, communication- organizational- and time management levels. It is therefore crucial for one to always be aware of their physical and mental well-being. Being aware of your well-being and state of mind is one of the first steps to working on building a successful career. Knowing what affects one`s productivity levels is a great step to dealing with issues that may arise when productivity is affected. Most importantly, striving towards improving your skills is what will greatly assist in building a successful career. Skills development goes a long way regardless of how much experience a person has already obtained. Working on constantly improving your skills will not only set you apart from your peers、but will also motivate you and make it easier for you to change and/or improve your daily work routine. A successful teacher needs excellent communication, organizational and time management skills. A teacher needs to be able to receive messages just as well as they can convey them. Communications between students, parents and other teachers is very important to successful teachers. This too carries great importance for teachers working in foreign countries where language barriers can be a problem. Good communication will lead to good relationships and effective problem solving ideas. In addition to communication skills a successful teaching career depends on good organizational and time management skills. Being able to plan and organize lessons, activities and tests will lead to smoother classes and perhaps more enjoyable lessons for both the students and the teacher. Time management, on the other hand, goes without saying as it is important in just about any career. Teaching depends hugely on time available as different schools have different times for classes and perhaps different time frames for different targets. Successful teachers must know how to use their time well in order to reach their goals in the time available. Skills development is a lifelong task and thus successful teachers should work towards mastering the subject they teach as well as the way they teach it. This part of development can be achieved through formal education at registered institutions as well as attending seminars, short courses and registering for online courses such as TEFL for a bit of self-education. In order to be a successful teacher one must be flexible and open-minded. Being open to learning from your colleagues as well as students will prepare you to being objective, relevant and make you able to teach in different ways. Constantly learning how to add variety to your lessons will create huge interest from your students and lead to successful or vastly improved grades. In conclusion building a successful teaching career takes a great amount of dedication and hard work. It is imperative to make learning and skills development a priority. Success cannot be achieved overnight but rather through a lifelong journey of empowerment. Teaching is one of the more challenging professions to undertake with long hours, problems in and outside the classroom and an ever changing environment due to changing students. It requires one to be creative and flexible in order to be able to smoothly transition into new roles. The key to success lies in building good relationships with your colleagues, students and, if applicable, the parents of the students. A successful teacher needs to empower her/himself through constant learning and every day practice. In the case of foreign language teachers in foreign countries it is important to take great care of one`s emotional, personal and physical well-being in addition to all the educational developments in order to have a successful teaching career.
