When you first register with Teach Away, you’ll be taken to your Dashboard. Navigate to your teacher profile by clicking the menu in the top right-hand corner and selecting "Profile".    ![](https://kb.teachaway.com/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202022-08-18%20at%201-40-19%20PM-png.png) At the top, you’ll see your "Profile strength," which will start at a "Beginner" level. As you add more information to your profile, this strength level will increase to "Intermediate" and, finally, "Professional." We've designed this feature to help you assess how strong your profile will appear to recruiters. The more complete your profile is, the better. ![](https://kb.teachaway.com/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202022-08-18%20at%201-40-53%20PM-png.png) In order to start applying for all jobs, you’ll need to have your profile completed to at least an **intermediate level**.  ![](https://kb.teachaway.com/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202022-08-18%20at%201-43-21%20PM-png.png) Adding either one (1) of the following components will automatically upgrade your profile strength to an **intermediate level**: - A resume - At least 1 degree (e.g. a Bachelor’s in Education) Alternatively, adding any of the four components also upgrades your profile to intermediate: - A profile photo - At least 1 experience - At least 1 certification or license - An introduction statement - At least 2 references - At least 2 uploaded documents (not including your resume or profile photo) - A profile summary ![](https://kb.teachaway.com/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202022-08-18%20at%201-48-14%20PM-png.png) To be as competitive a candidate as possible, it’s ideal to have a complete, **professional** profile.  To accomplish this, you’ll need to add all of the following components:  - A professional profile photo - At least 1 degree (e.g. a Bachelor’s in Education) - At least 2 documents - A resume - An introduction statement - At least 2 references completed - Profile summary completed   - [Managing your Teacher Profile](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/managing-your-teacher-profile?hsLang=en) - [Teach Abroad or Online](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teach-abroad-or-online?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Health & Safety Teaching Abroad](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teach-abroad-or-online?hsLang=en#health-safety-teaching-abroad) - [Requirements](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teach-abroad-or-online?hsLang=en#requirements) - [Application Process](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teach-abroad-or-online?hsLang=en#application-process) - [Using the Job Board](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teach-abroad-or-online?hsLang=en#using-the-job-board) - [Online Teaching](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teach-abroad-or-online?hsLang=en#online-teaching) - [Interview Process](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teach-abroad-or-online?hsLang=en#interview-process) - [Salary & Benefits](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teach-abroad-or-online?hsLang=en#salary-benefits) - [Visa Procedure](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teach-abroad-or-online?hsLang=en#visa-procedure) - [Teaching With Family](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teach-abroad-or-online?hsLang=en#teaching-with-family) - [Medical Insurance](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teach-abroad-or-online?hsLang=en#medical-insurance) - [TEFL](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/tefl?hsLang=en#main-content) - [The Basics](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/tefl?hsLang=en#the-basics) - [General Course Information](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/tefl?hsLang=en#general-course-information) - [Payment & Registration](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/tefl?hsLang=en#payment-registration) - [Job Placement](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/tefl?hsLang=en#job-placement) - [Certification](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/tefl?hsLang=en#certification) - [Current Students](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/tefl?hsLang=en#current-students) - [Technical Support](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/tefl?hsLang=en#technical-support) - [Teacher Certification Program](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teacher-certification-program?hsLang=en#main-content) - [The Basics](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teacher-certification-program?hsLang=en#the-basics) - [Courses & E-learning](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/courses-e-learning?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting your certificate](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/courses-e-learning?hsLang=en#getting-your-certificate) - [In-Course Support](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/courses-e-learning?hsLang=en#in-course-support) - [Teach Away Premium Membership](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teach-away-premium-membership?hsLang=en#main-content) - [About Teach Away Premium Membership](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teach-away-premium-membership?hsLang=en#about-teach-away-premium-membership) - [Subscription and Payments](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teach-away-premium-membership?hsLang=en#subscription-and-payments) - [Benefits for Premium Members](https://kb.teachaway.com/en/faq/teach-away-premium-membership?hsLang=en#benefits-for-premium-members) [![Teach Away](https://kb.teachaway.com/hubfs/logo.svg "Teach Away")](https://www.teachaway.com/) Teach Away Help Center Copyright © 2026, Teach Away
