ITP - 113 What kind of money can you earn as an overseas teacher? Elliott Zelinskas has a unique tool for you! Elliot returns to our show and shares his journey in international education, discussing his experiences teaching abroad and the launch of his new website, International Teacher Salary. We explore the importance of networking, the challenges of finding the “right fit”, and Elliott’s innovative approach to interviewing that empowers teachers to take control of their career paths. Elliott emphasizes the value of sharing information within the teaching community and encourages others to pursue their passions and create resources that benefit fellow educators.
**The ITP interviewed Elliott well before Elliott experimented with a "paywall". The paywall was only live for a few hours before Elliott took it down and returned to the free version. We have decided to post his interview with our fingers crossed that the site remains free! Only time will tell. Enjoy the interview. We did.
