Finding a Teaching Position in Cambodia
It is up to individuals to decide what rates of pay they believe they need to live and work happily. Some schools pay as little as $3 USD an hour but might still prove attractive to someone who wants closer contact with the culture more than financial rewards. Several non-government organizations and Christian groups seek completely volunteer teachers for work in the provinces but will often cover visas, food and accommodation.
Local website khmer440 is a teacher-orientated chat forum with a dedicated discussion area on teaching issues, where people keen to extend their stay in Cambodia through teaching may be able to pick up tips and contacts.
There is some demand for teachers in other languages besides English, notably French and Chinese, but most French-language schools request high levels of formal qualifications and there are so many native Chinese speakers already teaching that an outstanding level of aptitude is required.
Teaching in Cambodia can be a rewarding experience for backpackers and even more experienced scholars and is helping rebuild a country still on the mend after the Khmer Rouge.
