Discover Cambodia While You Teach and Earn

Transport in Phnom Penh

Cambodia offers good salaries for first-time teachers. With much lower living costs than the US, Europe or Australia, many teachers find they can live comfortably, enjoy their free time, experience all that Cambodia has to offer – and even save money.

It’s a great way to build your teaching experience, earn a solid income, and discover a different pace of life – all at the same time.

Cambodia Makes it Easy to Live Well While You Teach

Cambodia is quickly becoming one of the most popular places to start teaching English. The number of opportunities far exceeds the number of teachers available, the cost of living is low, and the relaxed pace of life makes it easy to settle in. You can live and eat well, travel often, and still have something left to save.

You can teach in Phnom Penh, where you’ll find a mix of bustling temples, lively markets, modern bars and restaurants, and a growing community of expats and fellow teachers.

There are plenty of teaching opportunities in other cities like Siem Reap and Sihanoukville too.

Get Ready to Teach - in Just 4 Weeks or with a Hybrid Course

School of TEFL, Phnom Penh

You can take the full 4-week TEFL course in Phnom Penh, or begin with online study and complete your training on site with our Hybrid TEFL course.

Either way, you’ll finish with a TEFL certificate, hands-on classroom experience, and the confidence to step into your first teaching role in Cambodia or beyond.

Most graduates who stay in Cambodia start applying for jobs immediately and often find teaching work within a week or so of completing the course.

Schools often hire in person, and demand far exceeds the number of qualified teachers – so being in-country puts you in a strong position when applying for jobs.

Why enrol through School of TEFL? A Personal Note

I started School of TEFL because I know what it’s like to look at TEFL courses and wonder who to trust – or whether it’s even the right step. When I started out, I wanted straight answers, real support, and a course that would actually prepare me for the classroom.

That’s what we offer here.

When you enrol through School of TEFL, you’ll take the same accredited course delivered by our partner, AVSE-TESOL. But we also try to make the process a little easier – at the moment we’re offering $100 off your deposit, and if you complete the Cambodia course in full but don’t pass, we’ll refund that deposit entirely.

You’ll also have ongoing support from people who’ve done this themselves, and optional access to our Grammar Course is included at no extra cost.

We aren’t a big corporate operation. We’re a small, friendly team – and we’ll treat you like a person, not a sale.

If you’ve read this far, you’re probably serious about making a change. I’d love to help you work out whether this is the right next step for you.

Accredited Certification

The course you’ll take through AVSE-TESOL is delivered by an Australian Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and leads to the Certificate IV in TESOL, accredited under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

This means your TEFL certification is recognised and accepted internationally — by schools and language centres in Cambodia, throughout Asia, and beyond.

We’ll Help You Find Your First Teaching Job

You won’t be left to figure things out on your own.

In Cambodia, AVSE-TESOL will support you through every step of the job search, from preparing your CV and practising for interviews, to connecting you with schools that are actively hiring.

Graduates who stay in Cambodia often find teaching work within a week or so of completing the course.

If you’re planning to teach elsewhere or work online, we’re here at School of TEFL to guide and support you.
