TEFL Jobs in Sihanoukville, Cambodia for Expat Teachers???

This is our job board for expats. Until ZipRecruiter and Indeed make their way to the Kingdom of Wonder, this is the best place to look for employment in Cambodia, whether you're looking to teach English, manage a 5-star hotel, volunteer, or even work for some of the big NGOs. Even digital nomads who move to Cambodia sometimes need a side gig as a TEFL instructor from time to time. Most professional expatriate jobs are in Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap and Kampot are emerging as attractive alternatives. If you're an employer or hiring manager, you're also welcome to post your job listing here for free.

TEFL Jobs in Sihanoukville, Cambodia for Expat Teachers???

Post by DomoDoge92 »

So Im moving to Cambodia in mid April and I was wondering if anyone knows of any schools in Sihanoukville that are hiring. Which schools are there and if any of them are hiring. Also I have heard that the pay is less than Phnom Penh is that true? Any tips, leads or any other info would be appreciated. I'm looking for Cambodia expat jobs.

from friends who worked there for more than a year, one guy with over 30 years experience teaching.
4 different schools.
Kampot is about the same.

Not too many schools, lots of competition and rubbish money - teaching English in Snookie's not a great life plan. That's OK though, as long as you're ready to smoke some ice, bang some hookers, drink beer through a straw (which should be placed in the gap left by one of your missing front teeth), and live in a $60 fan room - you'll be fine.

hahaha i thought you was going to put a constructive comment when i started reading it, then out comes same old grinchy hahaha

its true though theres hardly any schools lots of competition, regards to people with actual teaching certificates and not tefls, pay is less but cost of livings cheaper
phnom penh is the place you need to be if you want to teach english

Siem Reap! A lot of work 6h a day and $300 a month, overtime $15/hour.

I'm NNative (better).

But Siem Reap 'sucks' - hot as hell, rude locals and absolutely nothing to do.. I'd go Battambang/Phnom Penh.

Welcome to the forum.

What quals and experience do you have regarding teaching?

And a welcome to you too. $300 a month? Those jobs aren't taken by people who are serious about getting a teaching "job."

Those are taken by people who want to volunteer or who need something to keep them busy during their summer break while getting shit faced in Cambodia on mommy's allowance money.

Local teachers at ELT can make that.

I'd consider a job in Sihanoukville. I've been teaching in Phnom Penh for seven months and have a TEFL. I'm not a backpacker and plan to stay here long term.

How often do jobs come up, and what sort of pay should I expect?

I'm on $1,100 now, ideally, I'd like 900$ minimum.

$5-$7/hr.
Many of the schools rip off their teachers too.
Vietnam or Myanmar pay far far better.
