TEFL jobs in Lebanon
Finding a TEFL job in Lebanon can be tricky for a number of reasons. For starters, work permits for foreigners are expensive and so schools are reluctant to bring in foreign teachers when there is already a good pool of local teachers who are trained in English. Even if there are jobs to be found, it is almost impossible to find out about them if you aren’t already in the country as companies don’t bother advertising abroad or online when there are already teachers in the local area. As such, expats who are already living in Lebanon will find it much easier to get work, particularly if they already have accommodation sorted out. There aren’t many jobs which come with on-site housing for teachers, but most will be happy to help you search for accommodation .
Where to find work in Lebanon
Searching in English newspapers and news websites is the best way to find current listings. If you want to secure a job before you travel, one way to do it is to find information on how to contact schools and email them your CV and covering letter. A number of schools seem to have defunct websites but are quite active on Facebook. Being able to speak French, as well as English, is a bonus as many schools operate in both English and French, and of course any knowledge of Arabic would be beneficial. Because many lessons are taught in English or French, having experience that could get you hired as a subject teacher is worth considering – for example, if your BA degree was in maths, you could potentially become a subject teacher for maths in English. Nearly all of the jobs you’ll find in Lebanon are in Beirut, but occasionally you’ll see opportunities in other places such as Tripoli, Sidon, Byblos, and Tyre.
