TEFL jobs in Egypt
It’s worth putting in the time to do proper research when applying for a TEFL job in Egypt. There’s plenty of work out there, but the professionalism of some schools are dubious to say the least, and while ‘back-street’ schools might offer an easy opportunity to teachers with fewer qualifications or years of experience, it might be a decision you live to regret if you end up working somewhere that seems too eager to hire. If you decide to take on one-to-one tutoring either to supplement your income or as a full-time role, you may find that business fluctuates throughout the year – parents are particularly keen to enrol their kids in private lessons as exams approach, but not necessarily for the rest of the year .Where to find work in Egypt
The easiest place to find work is in Cairo, where it’s not uncommon to be approached on the street by people wanting a few lessons – particularly those in the tourism industry. When you go for an interview, remember that your experience and qualifications are important but coming across as a confident and outgoing personality is what will win you the role. If you plan to travel on a tourist visa and just seek out work through word of mouth, head to the El Horreya Café (downtown Cairo) or the Ace Club (Maadi) to find expats and people in the know. A tourist visa costs $25 on arrival, or a multiple entry is £32 for six months max. Business visas are available with a letter of invitation. Please bear in mind that, for visa reasons, teachers over 60 years of age won’t be granted the right to work.
