We are there to help you through your exciting year of cultural challenges and adventures. We currently have many exciting opportunities.

If you would rather be experiencing the varied cultures of the world instead of the inside of a cubicle, this is for you!

Job Description:
You will serve as an English Teacher for children of all ages. You may teach Kindergarten to children aged 4-6 years old, and you may teach children as old as 15 years old. The age of the children you teach can be modified according to your preferences. Your teaching duties will include:

You will meet interesting and unique people from all over the world. Your best friend may be from South Africa or Australia. They will be people like you: interesting, unique and adventurous. There will be challenges. Sometimes adjusting to the cultural habits of your country can be frustrating. It's all part of the experience. It is a rare person who ever regrets their year spent abroad. Most look back on it as the best experience of their life.

It's important to stress: All positions are well paid. You will be able to live quite comfortably with your salary. The students are generally better behaved than those in western countries.
