Exotic Teaching Locations Abroad

Overview of the top exotic teaching locations abroad for expats in 2024

TEFL Jobs in Mallorca

Very popular as a TEFL destination, especially with Brits looking for a less stressful lifestyle, Mallorca is actually a very mixed bag. However, most teachers speak of great weather, lovely beaches, nice people and a reasonable salary. The largest of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca is a perfect holiday destination. The islands has become more popular among English Teachers in recent years due to the high demand for locals with conversational skills in the English language. Visit job board

TEFL Jobs in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a fascinating place to live and work although, despite growing demand, there are still limited opportunities for English teachers. The vast majority of paid positions are in the lively capital city of Colombo. Understandably, teaching resources may be somewhat lacking when compared to more common TEFL destinations in the region. Alongside the handful of opportunities at language centres, there are many opportunities to teach. Visit job board

TEFL Jobs in Guadeloupe

Guadeloupe mixes the best of France – a fully modern infrastructure and fantastic food – with a local culture that people here are proud of and want to share. Guadeloupe’s two main islands look like the wings of a butterfly and are joined together by a mangrove swamp. As in most Latin American countries the students are lively and sociable and therefore a pleasure to teach. Visit job board

TEFL Jobs in the Phlippines

The Philippines is a collection of beautiful tropical islands where living costs are low. The only trouble is, the local people generally speak such excellent English that there is little demand for native English teachers. However, the growing Korean population in the Philippines seek tuition at language centres and if you are qualified you may find work at a university or International School. Visit job board

TEFL Jobs in the Virgin Islands

There certainly is a steadily growing demand for English teachers in the Virgin Islands. A large portion of the population who lives in the Virgin Islands comes from a non-English speaking background hence new language centers and schools popped up out of nowhere in the past ten years or so, giving many foreign professionals the chance to come here and teach English.
