Teaching English in East TimorBack to Tefl World

There are numerous voluntary TEFL positions advertised throughout the year for East Timor which occupies part of an island in the Pacific between Australia and the Indonesian islands.  The former Portuguese colony gained its independence from Indonesia in 1999.  Hopefully, its oil and gas reserves and coffee exports will help East Timor build a more stable economy and improve the East Timorese state education.   If you are looking for a TEFL position in East Timor, then you might try sending one of its educational institutions or NGOs a prospective CV and covering letter asking about career opportunities.  Remember to have the full list of vaccinations which are needed for East Timor – the rabies vaccination sometimes needs a course of injections which require up to a month to complete before you depart for the country.
