Country info and advice - Cambodia
The following comments are from teachers who have taught, or are currently teaching, in Cambodia. If you are a teacher and have some advice to share, please add it here.
It's fairly easy to find
English teaching work as long as you're a native speaker and dress
professionally. If you have experience, a degree, or an English teaching
certificate, you'll probably receive multiple job offers. Teaching jobs usually
pay around $9-10 an hour with the best school paying $15. The cost of living is
quite low, so you'll be able to live comfortably on this amount - in any event
you'll be way richer than almost any local. Visas are a non-issue: you simply
pay for a one-year visa at a travel agency, no questions asked.
Phnom Phenh is where the vast majority of teachers are. It's a beautiful town, with a great
riverside location, lots of old French architecture, and great restaurants. It
does have a dark underbelly to it; street crime, drugs, prostitution, and gangs
are fairly common. This might increase its appeal to some, while scare others
away.
