Living the Dream, as an English Teacher in Cambodia

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Very upbeat article on teaching English in South East Asia.

June 28, 2018
Earning $2,200 A Month Teaching English in Cambodia
By Stephen King

After losing his job and having difficulty finding work, James Donaldson was at a stage where he wanted to experience life in other countries.

“My savings were modest, so I knew I’d need to find a way to earn money to cover my travel expenses along the way,” says James. “Having read about work opportunities on various local expat and job websites I was confident about picking up work as an English teacher in Cambodia. I expected to grab some kind of lower level job, but landed a position at a school that pays a fair whack compared to the local cost of living.

“I’ve been here for over a year and earn enough to lead a good lifestyle—including travel around Asia—with cash left over to save a bit in the bank. Before moving here, I had no idea how simple it can be for a Westerner to find a teaching job right off the bat.”

You’ll find a wide range of teaching positions available in Cambodia but the capital city, Phnom Penh, is home to the most opportunities due to demand from local middle-class families who favour language institutions that employ Western expat teachers.

“Almost anyone can get a job as an English teacher in Cambodia, regardless of qualifications, experience or even fluency in the language,” says James. “There is a massive shortage of foreign teachers.”

Hi, did you do the Celta course to be able to teach in Cambodia? I'm seriously thinking of moving to PP from the UK to escape the rat race!! How have you found it?

It's shameful that any school in the world would employ a barely literate bogan. How long did you do that for, two weeks? :?
Silence, exile, and cunning.
