TEFL jobs in India

Paid jobs in India are likely to be found in the bigger locations such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, and Bangalore, whereas voluntary positions can be found anywhere, including the most rural locations. For paid positions (which are usually at international schools, and sometimes large companies will hire an English teacher for teaching business English) the competition is likely to be high, so you’ll need to be well-qualified, experienced, and preferably already in the country for some positions. Hiring is likely to take place in time for the start of the academic year.

Where to find work in India

Most international schools in India hire directly through their website, and positions are limited with much competition. It is sometimes possible for expats living in India to find freelance work, especially if they teach business English or exam content, but there’s no guarantee of finding enough work to live on, and they’ll only want to hire teachers who are already in the country. Many TEFL jobs are filled by Indian nationals with reasonable levels of English, and so only the most elite schools can hire foreigners. For voluntary positions, experiences vary – some ask for a participation fee, some will cover your costs, and other positions will ask you to pay your own way while you volunteer.
