TEFL jobs in Qatar

Wherever you end up teaching English in Qatar, be prepared to work hard. Teachers often report long working hours, and you can expect to be in close contact with the parents of your young students to update them on progress. However, on the plus side, schools are typically full of top of the range resources and facilities, and if your school is following its own curriculum, it will give you the opportunity to have some creative freedom and plan lessons yourself. Also, bear in mind that the working day starts early (around 6 or 7am) but finishes by 1 or 2:30, in order to miss the hottest part of the day. Expect to have a classroom assistant with you at all times if you don’t speak Arabic – these TA’s are sometimes called the Class Mother .

Where to find work in Qatar

Applying for TEFL jobs in Qatar is a slow and lengthy process, usually taking 6 months for all paperwork to be completed, so make sure you leave ample time to apply before your planned departure date. Taking the time to find a good employer is worthwhile, because they will sponsor your visa and enable you to come into the country. While in Qatar, your visa is tied to your employer, and so you may need to get permission from your employer if you want to change jobs. Trying to work off the radar in Qatar isn’t recommended as they can (and will) deport expats working illegally, or sent them to prison.
