TEFL jobs in Romania

While there is strong interest in learning English in Romania, it isn’t always easy for TEFL teachers to get jobs. Most English lessons in public schools are taught by Romanian staff, and with a high level of success, they see no need to hire teachers from abroad. Private tuition is an option to help those high school and university students who want to excel, but the market is small. Corporate gigs for commercial teaching are available, but despite the desire to provide lessons for their workers, many companies can’t afford the cost.

Those aspiring to teach in Romania should be aware that wages are low, even in relation to the cost of living. You may not be able to make ends meet with a full-time salary, which means some private tuition on the side - or online teaching - may be required to boost your income.

Where to find work in Romania

You’ll need a bit of luck on your side to find paid work in Romania, although the market is growing and if you put effort into your research you might be able to find something decent. There are plenty of voluntary opportunities for those who are desperate to reach Romania, and these positions could be a great way to get your foot in the door and inquire in person at TEFL establishments.

The peak months for hiring are in January and September for the start of the next academic term.

The Yellow Pages  are a place to find language schools, but they would be unlikely to hire a foreign teacher as the wages are too low.
