Teach in Thailand (Hua Hin)
From $2,835
Our Teach in Italy trip combines both passions of teaching and travel into one. You’ll gain an internationally-recognised accreditation and be presented with the unique opportunity to have your own classroom of students as you embark on an unforgettable adventure to teach English abroad. Soak up the culture, history and of course lots of pasta sauce in one of Italy’s most iconic regions. You’re about to go somewhere special! The scenery of this magical place is what inspired the Renaissance! Imagine waking up in your Villa every morning, opening the window to the gorgeous vineyard-covered hills of Tuscany. You’ll be living out your Italian dream.
We offer the complete package for those wanting to teach & travel overseas and, best of all, we have partnered with an exclusive local TEFL & teacher-training organisation to set you up with an exciting job interview for a paid teaching placement option within Italy upon completion of your TEFL course. If you want to stay on after the course, we can help you apply for your student visa before you go, meaning you’ll be able to earn a local income to fund your travels! Our team will help you with all the essentials you need to kickstart your journey to becoming an English teacher overseas, from visa assistance to cultural activities and excursions, local support and so much more.
Immerse yourself in a whole new culture, create lifelong connections and tick off incredible bucket list spots in between. This trip is perfect for anyone looking for direction or a new adventure and dreaming of broadening their horizons, travelling Europe and gaining international work & travel experience.

Just in case it’s not clear already, we’re not an employment or recruitment agency, so please don’t book with us if that’s what you’re looking for. We sell and organise amazing international travel experiences for the purpose of cultural exchange & education. If a trip has a paid work option, this is not mandatory to do and is there as a means to fund your travels only, and no fee is charged by us for this component. All payments you make are for travel and local support services. If you’re still confused, please get in touch.
Our Teach in Italy trip is designed to get you travelling, living and teaching English overseas as smoothly as possible. We’re here to help you from the very beginning, offering step-by-step guidance as you embark on a path to work and travel as an English teacher abroad. We arrange local cultural experiences and provide you with an internationally-recognised TEFL course which is essential if you choose to find work as a paid English teacher upon completion.
Arrive in Italy with the reassurance that you will be many steps ahead of every other traveller or teacher in search of international experience in Europe. Once you’ve completed your TEFL qualification, you’re free to take it with you to many countries in the world and embark on exciting teaching projects abroad. Or you can choose to stay for longer in Italy and earn a local income in various private language schools around the country. We’ll plan and organise all the surrounding logistics, our 24/7 emergency support team is always on standby, and between us and our exclusive in-country partner, we’ll guide you throughout the entire journey and answer any questions that may arise.
Spend your time teaching in Italy and immerse yourself in the rich culture. Explore stunning Lake Como or Garda in the north or the gorgeous Amalfi Coast to the west. Discover the history and majesty of Rome, strut your stuff in Milan or even stay local and dive into the beautiful vineyards of Tuscany right on your doorstep, before jetting off to neighbouring European countries in your time off. Leave the logistical stuff to us! We’re here to save you time, money, stress and even the risk of returning home early! Embrace a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel, live and teach in Italy and start making magic happen in the classroom of your dreams.
To qualify for this trip you must have your high school certificate or diploma, and you will also be required to bring a laptop with you to aid your classroom duties as a teacher. You must be aged between 19 and 60, have no criminal background, be from an eligible country (please check qualification quiz above) and a fluent English speaker.
Flights, travel insurance, health insurance, visa, permesso di soggiorno (work permit), criminal background check, souvenirs & spending money.
The beauty of this trip is that you have the freedom to create your own adventure. But, for a rough idea, this is how most travellers spend their first few days:
Once you’ve touched down in Florence’s Airport Firenze Peretola, your private transfer will be waiting to take you straight to your initial accommodation in the town of Borgo San Lorenzo.
The day following your arrival, you’ll be introduced to your TEFL classmates and trainers and prepare to begin your 4 weeks of training!
You’ll get taken in a private transfer to your classes every morning. They’ll include "input" sessions on language, teaching, culture and lesson planning. After a lunch break, you’ll have further classes and teaching practice with local Italian students.
During your TEFL course, you’ll get to experience some incredible cultural orientation activities such as a welcome prosecco, language lessons and wine tasting.
After you’ve completed your TEFL course, our local partner can arrange a job interview with our partner language schools' recruiters. This could land you a job in Tuscany, or somewhere else around Italy. You can land a paid teaching English job and earn around €15/hr+ meaning you can fund your travels further! Or, you might want to take your new qualification to a neighbouring European country, the choice is yours.
Arrive in Tuscany so that you can start your in-country TEFL course. After that, you could find yourself teaching virtually anywhere across Italy, Europe or even other places around the world!
Yes! There are several destinations that are open to travellers right now! And if you’re from Australia, you could be able to get an exemption to travel if you’re travelling for over 3 months*, which is the majority of our trips. We can advise how to apply for this exemption. We recommend our travellers book their trips at least 6-12 months in advance, so by the time you’re ready to depart we’re confident your destination (if it’s not already open) will be open and ready to go. *Full exemption info here.

Yes we are! All of our trips are still being planned for and taking new bookings. We always recommend that our travellers take 6-12 months between booking their trip to departure.

In 2020, the world stopped. This means that we have a backlog of travellers, just like you, who are desperate to get out and explore the world! Global Work & Travel works on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Booking earlier ensures that you don’t miss out on the best intake, season, placements and more! We recommend our travellers take 6-12 months to plan their trip for a reason - to make sure you’ve got everything organised perfectly, stress-free. If COVID affects your trip, you are protected for any changes with our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility. Why not give yourself something to look forward to, by booking that trip!
Yes you can! Simply tell your Trip Coordinator after booking that your friend is also going and they can link your profiles. For most of our trips we should be able to have you and your friends placed together. Meaning that you can live together and work together. If availability doesn’t allow it, we’ll get you in the same area. So you’ll be able to have this experience together!
Our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility means you can change your trip’s start date up to 28 days (45 days for Teach Trips) before departure without incurring ANY charges, and you’re able to rebook it for ANY time (or even any other trip) in the next 2 years from your original start date.
In the event that you want to cancel your booking altogether, if you give us over 28 days notice (45 for Teach Trips) you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Travel Credit which you can put towards booking absolutely anything travel related with your Travel Concierge within the next 3 years!
