Teaching Abroad Job Listings

Teaching Jobs Abroad: 20 Open Positions

by

Twenty teaching vacancies and program calls were open when checked on 6 November 2026, spread across 18 countries from Japan and Vietnam to Morocco, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. Boards, employers, qualifications and pay by country are covered in the teaching jobs abroad directory; this list of ads is checked regularly.

Pay is given only where the ad states it, in the ad’s own currency. Many ads had no posting or closing date, and several contradicted themselves on experience, pay or start date; those conflicts are noted once per ad. Ads that say “competitive” without a figure are listed as such.

Last checked: 6 November 2026. Listings expire; if an ad has closed, try the employer’s careers page.

Fee-paying placements and requests for visa fees

One ad found during the check, a three-month placement in Peru, charged teachers a program fee that the ad did not quantify, and was left out for that reason. Eslbase’s list of TEFL scams, updated 21 January 2026, holds 25 entries, six marked active; most ask for upfront visa or processing fees, impersonate real schools, or offer pay far above local rates. In the UAE, a 2018 Gulf News investigation reported that labor law bars agents and companies from charging candidates recruitment or visa fees.

Several other ads were checked and left out: British Council teacher posts in Madrid, Palma de Mallorca and Amman were marked filled; a Tokyo university program was still advertising its Fall 2026 term; a Bucharest school’s start dates of August and September 2026 had passed; and a Tashkent school’s ad page was last modified in November 2024. No Latin American ad with a named employer and checkable terms could be opened, so the region is missing from this list.
