TEFL jobs in Kuwait
Kuwait is a great destination if you want a high flying job (such as teaching at a university) but you don’t necessarily have all the usual credentials such an MA or PHD – if you have several years of experience and interview well, having these certificates isn’t always necessary. However, as a small country there are limited opportunities for TEFL teachers and so competition can be fierce for the best positions on the market .Where to find work in Kuwait
Kuwait City, the capital, is the only real option when it comes to finding a good job, but you can also find a few international schools in the nearby cities of Al Ahmadi and Al Jahra, so if you’re looking for a location with a bit less of a buzz than the capital, certainly start your search in one of those locations. Many countries have an agreement where you can be granted a tourist visa upon arrival which is valid for one month, giving you time to search for a job on the ground if you don’t have the time to search in advance. With the academic year starting in August, the spring or early summer is a good time to look for jobs if you can do so ahead of travel. A work visa will be organised by your employer once you find a suitable position and sign the contract.
