Teaching English in Israel & Palestinian Territories

Nonetheless, in light of the little size and the huge number of neighbourhood individuals capable of communicating in English, it is a small and exceptionally competitive job market that foreign English teachers need to arrange.

For most first-time English teachers, landing a job opportunity mostly happens by showing up for an in-person interview upon arrival in Israel; however, there’s always the scope of arranging a few meetings ahead of time. Candidates showing up for the interview will be liable for their lodging and airfare however a few exemptions consistently exist. The wages are adequate to permit the English teachers to carry on with an average comfortable life. Accommodation usually is those that are cleared by past teachers while many offer spaces to their co-workers. A typical work week contains around 20-25 hours with a lot of extra time for exploring. For additional income, most decide on giving private tuitions.

There is a concentration of English-teaching occupations in the significant Israeli urban communities of Rishon LeZion, Haifa, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv. A certification in TEFL/TESOL course in Israel is a vital necessity for most of the teaching positions.

Teaching English as a foreign Language, i.e., TEFL programs in Palestinian territories: A depressed economy plagued by ongoing regional conflict and small population make the Palestinian territories unattractive in terms of those looking for an English-teaching opportunity abroad. Nevertheless, Palestinians are renowned for being dedicated to their education and many of them view English as a path to enhancing their opportunities for better employment and a better life. Teaching opportunities are typically low-paying or in volunteer positions such as refugee camps.
