In this video, I break down what it’s really like teaching ESL to kids vs adults, so you can figure out which age group fits your personality, your teaching style, and your goals (abroad or online). I share my own experience teaching young learners, middle schoolers, teens, and adults, and I talk through the big differences you’ll notice right away—like attention span, classroom management, lesson pacing, and how much “performance energy” you need to bring to each class. I also give practical teaching tips for different ages and levels. With kids, you’ll usually need more structure, routines, visuals, and quick activity changes to keep them engaged. With adults, you can often go deeper into conversation, goals, and real-life English, but you’ll need to handle confidence issues and keep lessons relevant. By the end, you’ll have a clear idea of what to expect from each age group—and how to choose what’s best for you as a TEFL teacher.
