Teaching English in SurinameBack to Tefl World

Suriname lies on the north-eastern Atlantic coast of South America.  It is the smallest country in South America with a population of 566,000 who mostly live in and around the capital, Paramaribo.  Therefore it’s not surprising that it’s rare to see TEFL positions advertised for this Dutch-speaking state.  If you are looking for a TEFL position in Suriname, then it may be worth sending one of the schools or universities a prospective CV and covering letter enquiring about possible job opportunities.  You should check which vaccinations you might need if you are going to live in Suriname.
