Teaching English in Saint LuciaBack to Tefl World

Saint Lucia is an idyllic island nation which lies at the edge of the Caribbean before it flows into the Atlantic.   The island’s mountains, waterfalls, coral reefs and glorious beaches attract the tourists which are vital for the country’s economy.  Saint Lucia’s government allocates almost 6% of the country’s GDP to education which is free and compulsory for its citizens from the age of five to fifteen.  The English-speaking country only has a population of just over 175,000 which will explain why TEFL positions are rarely advertised for the island nation.  If you are keen to teach there, you could try contacting one of its educational institutions to enquire about career opportunities.  You should check which vaccinations you might need if you are going to live on the island.
