Kingdom of Wonder

IMG_1181.HEIC

Cambodia is a captivating country in Southeast Asia, rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. Known for its stunning temples, including the world-renowned Angkor Wat, Cambodia offers visitors a unique blend of ancient traditions and vibrant modern life. The country's cities, like the fast-growing Siem Reap and the dynamic capital Phnom Penh, are filled with friendly locals, delicious cuisine, and bustling markets. Cambodia is also a haven for affordable travel, with low-cost living, easy transportation, and beautiful, lesser-known islands waiting to be explored. For those interested in teaching, Cambodia stands out as the only country in the region where you can legally teach without a bachelor's degree, offering a welcoming environment for educators and travelers alike.

Teaching Placements

Most people in Cambodia send their children to be privately educated as the quality of public-school education is very low. For this reason, English Teachers in Cambodia mostly teach in private schools. There may also be limited language school classes.

Placement Overview

Your paragraph text-3.png

Teaching Hours

Teaching hours per week range from 22 to 30 or 4.5 to 6 hours of teaching per day but differs between Language Schools and Private Schools. Language schools are busiest Saturday and Sunday so teachers work many classes on the weekends and then have time off during the week. Teaching days vary from 5 to 6 days of teaching per week. If teaching 6 days per week, the teacher is given multiple paid vacation days to offset. However, Private and International schools usually run Monday to Friday and so teachers work during the week and have the weekends off. 

​

Most positions are teaching young learners but there are also some high school positions.

It is important to note that teachers in Cambodia will be expected to teach other subjects through English, such as math, science, health, gym, art, etc. If asked to teach other subjects, these subjects would all be taught in English. If the school requires the teacher to teach another subject, this will be made known to the teacher when the interview opportunity is presented.

Schools provide an English teaching curriculum for teachers to follow.

Class sizes range from 15 to 25 students.
