Discover Cambodia While You Teach and Earn

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 even save a good portion of your salary.

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

The TEFL course runs full-time for four weeks in Phnom Penh. 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 to find work soon after the course.

Why 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 if it’s even the right step. When I started out, I wanted straight answers, real support, and a course that would actually prepare me.

That’s what we offer here.

When you enrol through School of TEFL, you’ll take the same accredited course delivered by our respected 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 get a few extras: a free Grammar Course to help you prepare, access to a library of lesson plans when you start teaching, and ongoing support from people who’ve done this themselves.

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 make it happen.
