Internships
Myanmar stirs up images of wild, sun-soaked valleys dotted with ancient temples, delicate tea leaves making their way to both your mug and plate, and monks in ruby-robes with twinkling eyes.
While teaching English in Myanmar, however, the sights will quickly take a backseat to the meaningful work you do as an ESL teacher.
Known throughout Asia as a confluence of Thai, Indian, and Chinese cultures, the Burmese will dazzle you not only with their hospitality and work ethic, but also with their English teaching job prospects.

Whether you start early or mid-year, you’ll hit the ground running with a comprehensive five day teacher’s orientation in Yangon. There, you’ll learn how to move with grace through this new culture—while on the job with colleagues and students or bargaining for teak in the local market.
Expect to teach ~25 hours weekdays, with the occasional Saturday commitment in the mix. Your mission is to improve students’ reading, writing, listening and speaking skills, and you’ll have ~15 hours weekly to prepare your future lessons and activities.
Past placements have been located in Yangon, Mandalay, and Pyin Oo Lwi at language institutes and private schools. This is a great fit for TEFL teachers who adore working with younger students, as most placements match teachers with students aged three to 16.
Don’t worry, novice monk—you’re not on your own. Your co-teachers will help along the way!
