Posted: Wed Jan 07, 2015 6:44 pm Post subject: Teaching jobs on Pacific Islands |
|
|
I'm interested in knowing more about the opportunities for teaching on a Pacific Island, particularly Fiji. I have a CELTA and 3 years teaching experience, as well as an unrelated MA and BA.
Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on this subject? |

I am a UK citizen, and am more looking for actual ELT jobs that would at least cover living costs, rather than volunteer opportunities. |

In the South Pacific Islands, I suspect those are probably few and far between, if any at all. Good luck! And please keep us posted if you find anything. |

I just landed the South Pacific job I wanted. Got the confirmation email yesterday! I was determined I was going to work on Yap (Micronesia) after visiting last winter.
Wasnt easy though. Its taken almost a year of back & forth with the Head of Schools there to work out the details. They werent actively seeking a teacher so it took a bit of convincing. I'll be a high school teacher there.
More on my backstory in a thread just below tagged "micronesia."
I'm pumped. Booking my ticket this weekend for the end of feb.
But Micronesia is a poor country. US$10000 a year plus $500 a month for housing. Fortunately, I dont really care. I'm more about location & the chance to continue teaching at this stage in my life. |

Wow, that's great! I'm sure you'll have an amazing experience. You're right - often it's a choice between one of two competing aims - work somewhere for X years to save Y amount of cash, or work somewhere you really want to experience and enjoy living in. |

An ad was posted here at Dave's about two weeks ago for work in the Marshall Islands. I think the jobs are still open. |
