Teaching can be an extremely rewarding job. Many people say that teaching is not only exciting and also challenging but allows them to be creative. There are such a wide variety of jobs within the teaching industry that there really is something that is suitable for most people. If you have a passion for helping people, communicate well and are not fazed by responsibility or pressure then teaching may be the perfect career choice for you.

If you don’t fancy teaching in a primary or secondary school then you may like the idea of working in an outdoor pursuits adventure centre or in a training facility for employees of certain industries. A driving instructor’s role includes teaching someone a skill and is very different from teaching in a class room.

If you like the idea of teaching but do not want the full on responsibility that comes with teaching a class then you could chose to go for a job as a teaching assistant. This will often allow you some responsibility of the class for a short time or a small group to work with without you having to take on the marking and planning.
