The Country

As Cambodia is a developing nation the majority of English teaching opportunities are volunteer based. However, this is beginning to change as the need for the English language becomes integral to being able to obtain a good job. Opportunities for employment as a TEFL trainer are also increasing as more foreigners enter Cambodia. Salaries are relatively low but so is the cost of living.

There is almost no potential to obtain employment in Cambodia unless you are already there, although you could initially make contact with what schools there are to inform them of your arrival. The best method is to turn up at different schools in person to drop off your curriculum vitae and meet the various members of staff there. Motorbike taxis are the most prevalent, cheap and quick mode of travel and, if you are lucky, your driver will have some advice on local schools in the area. It is important that you are contactable by phone so that they can call you.
