Teaching English in French GuianaBack to Tefl World

French Guiana is a small overseas French territory on the northeast coast of South America.  The classic true story by Henry Charriere, aka Papillon, follows the convicted felon’s attempts to escape the prison within the rain forests which cover French Guiana.  It borders Suriname to the west and Brazil to the east and south.  Half of its population of 250,000 live in the capital, Cayenne, where TEFL positions are usually located if they are ever advertised.  If you are looking for a TEFL position in French Guiana, then you might try sending one of its tertiary institutions a prospective CV and covering letter asking about career opportunities.  Remember to check which vaccinations are needed for The Comoros a couple of months before you depart for the islands.
