Can you swim? Good! Because you are about to be thrown into the deep end of your TEFL career. To be clear, this is an internship in that the program provides a lot of support from obtaining the correct visa, pre-departure assistance, proper training and orientation (you will be put in real classes, with real students), cultural immersion workshops to make sure you know your way around Cambodia, finding long-term accommodation, setting up local sim and bank account and support throughout your entire teaching contract. But here's the thing, you won’t be a teacher’s assistant or a coach in a language centre. At the end of the teaching practicum you will be placed in a well-paid English teaching JOB, where you will be conducting your own classes. Challenge accepted!
Now we all know the saying “with great power … COMES A PRETTY DECENT SALARY”, or something like that! Teaching salaries in Cambodia range between US $800 - $1,200. With the low cost of living, you will be able to pay all your usual expenses, save some money, and even have a beer every now and then.
They only ask for one thing… go and inspire! Touch the hearts and minds of Cambodian children through your English classes and build their confidence in English listening, speaking, reading, and writing, just for about 25 hours per week.
