Teaching English across 5 continents for 12 years has taught me exactly which classroom tools are worth your money. Here’s my tried-and-tested list of Amazon essentials that have transformed my TEFL teaching – both online and in physical classrooms.
Essential Online Teaching Equipment “After countless classes, these tools have proven invaluable:”
- Lighting Solutions
- Problem: Poor lighting ruins student engagement
- Best Ring Lights for Teaching
- Audio Equipment
Classroom Organization Tools “These organizational tools have saved me hours of prep time:”
- Portable Whiteboards
- Storage Solutions
Tech Protection for Travel “Protect your teaching equipment while abroad:”
- Laptop Protection
- Cable Management
Comfort Items for Long Teaching Sessions “Your body will thank you after 6-hour teaching days:”
- Ergonomic Supports
After testing hundreds of teaching products during my 12-year TEFL journey, these Amazon essentials have consistently proven their worth. While you don’t need to buy everything at once, I highly recommend starting with the basic tech setup (microphone and lighting) – they’ll pay for themselves within your first month of online teaching.
Remember: The best investment in your TEFL career isn’t always the most expensive option. Start with the essentials and upgrade as you grow your teaching business.
