Teaching English in Sao Tome and PrincipeBack to Tefl World

Sao Tome and Principe is an island nation near the equator in the Gulf of Guinea off the coast of Central Africa.  The chain of volcanic islands is home to dramatic rock formations, beautiful coral reefs, as well as scenic beaches and rainforests. Petroleum exploration and the promotion of tourism will hopefully help the nation’s economy climb out of its recent financial difficulties.  It’s rare to see TEFL positions advertised for this Portuguese-speaking nation, if you are keen to work there, then you could try contacting one of its schools or its two tertiary institutions to enquire about career opportunities.  Remember to have the full list of vaccinations which are needed for Sao Tome and Principe  – the rabies vaccination sometimes needs a course of injections which require up to a month to complete before you depart for the country.
