Where? Most teaching positions are available at various public elementary schools which lack funding and staff to adequately cover the student populations. Elementary school children range from four years old up to 12 years old. Additionally, some high school teaching positions may be available, in which case students graduate when they are 17 or 18 years of age.
Non-school based teaching positions are typically still centered around children, but occasionally some adult education classes may be open for instruction by international teachers.
What? Teachers should expect to teach a range of subjects, though rest assured students learn English from a young age so communication should be “smooth sailing”. Schools will try their best to assign you coursework that fits with your educational background whenever possible, but teachers should remain open-minded as most times there is a specific subject in need of an instructor.
Those in non-school based teaching positions can expect to teach a range of subjects, the most commonly Filipino placements center around practice and development of the English language. It is possible that teachers will have the chance to teach special activities related to their talents or areas of expertise, such as dance or music lessons, sewing classes, or even financial planning classes for adults.
When? The regular school year in the Philippines lasts from June until late March or early April, so you’d like to teach at a school attend between June and April, but keep in mind that almost the whole month of December is taken off for the holidays. For teachers interested in teaching extracurricular activities, opportunities are open virtually year round, just check with the individual organization or program information.
