What was your experience?


Taught a unit ops lab in Denmark last summer, it was positive enough to make me want to go back this summer.

Flight, room, and per diem were all paid by UA after I got back and submitted my expense report. I think it significantly improved my resume along with building international networking opportunities for future collaborations. My reasoning was my adviser and a committee member both oversee the program and they asked me if I'd like to do it, and it's best to do what your adviser and committee members want when getting a Ph.D.

I understand that it's probably a different scenario for what you're wanting to teach, but I had American students that were just taking a class over there, but the experience you get from traveling on the weekends are what will make it worth it (more enjoyment worth it as opposed to financially so)

I would be working with a "host" family and teaching that family English. From my understanding because I am not fluent in certain languages the jobs that pay are highly competitive.
