TEFL jobs in Mongolia

Despite what could be called a fair demand for TEFL teachers in Mongolia, there’s relatively little information out there for those wanting to embark on this TEFL destination, which puts most people off. As such, if you’re looking for the untrodden path and an authentic experience in a foreign country, choosing Mongolia could be a great choice.

With English now being taught to all school children in Mongolia from the fourth grade upwards, and with business English schools catering for linguistically-minded adults, there are certainly enough varied opportunities to choose from. Highly qualified and experienced TEFL teachers can apply to work at the elite international schools in the capital, whereas TEFL newbies can seek out voluntary experiences to introduce them to the country .

Where to find work in Mongolia

May and June are peak hiring seasons in Mongolia. International Schools will usually hire to start at the beginning of the academic term, whereas voluntary positions are likely to have opportunities year-round. For international school positions, candidates are likely to be experts in a secondary field as well as English teaching, and will likely be hired as a subject teacher (maths, science, history, etc) taught in the English language. When choosing when to go, bear in mind that the weather can turn very cold in the winter – you should bring adequate clothing and bear in mind that, being better used to the climate than you, your host family might not keep their home as warm as you would find comfortable! If you’re looking at working for an international school with plenty of foreign teachers, ask if you can speak to a current member of staff to get an on-the-ground opinion on what your provided accommodation is like and how comfortable it is in the cold season.
