Teaching English in MauritiusBack to Tefl World

Mauritius is an island nation in the Indian Ocean which lies directly east of Madagascar.  Its isolation in the Indian Ocean allowed unique species of birds to evolve, including the dodo, but since the introduction of terrestrial mammals some species have become extinct.  Mauritius’s beautiful beaches, lagoons, coral reefs, and hiking trails, which run through rainforests with waterfalls cascading down its mountains, has made the country a top luxury tourist destination.  The government spends 13% of its GDP on providing free education for its citizens from primary to tertiary levels; which might explain why it’s rare to see a TEFL position advertised for the island nation.  If you are keen to work there, you might as well try sending a prospective CV and covering letter to one of their educational institutions asking about possible job opportunities.  You should check which vaccinations you might need if you are going to live there.
