TEFL Jobs in Eastern Europe

 


Teach English in Georgia

The Georgian government are currently recruiting English teachers to start work in August this year. Successful candidates will get a one year contract including return air fare, accommodation, food, health insurance and around US$300 a month tax free (better than the average salary in Georgia). And they’ll throw in return flights home to see your friends and family at Christmas too!

Don't know much about Georgia?

The Republic of Georgia is a small European country bordering Russia and Turkey. Steeped in history, Georgia has a wealth of churches and castles across its diverse landscape. In fact, it's so appealing that Lonely Planet even dubbed it "one of the most beautiful countries on Earth". Combine that with a Mediterranean climate and fantastic contract package and you've got an incredible destination for the first time EFL teacher!

How to apply

You don’t need any previous experience, but you will have a better chance of being hired if you have 100+ hours of TEFL training. And once you have your TEFL certificate you’ll be able to apply for jobs like this all over the world.

I found it a great experience and I was really glad that I plucked up the courage to do it. I feel that I adopted qualities which were expected in that culture and which have improved me generally as a person. I also met a lot of people I might not have met otherwise – not just locals, but those who had gone there to teach from a whole range of other countries… I loved teaching so much that I am now working my way through a PGCE and teaching back home. I don’t think I would have done that if I hadn’t tried it out first and gained confidence abroad!

Definitely take the opportunity to teach abroad if you have it. Try to bring many ideas for teaching with minimal supplies. Also, be willing to provide materials at your own expense if you want to make some of the lessons more elaborate. TEFL books are so much better than the textbooks we had at school.
