Overview

Practically untouched by western society, Myanmar is a true Asian teaching experience for anyone with the urge to delve right into life in Asia! Now you have the opportunity to spend 5 months as a TEFL intern and teach English in Myanmar.

The best way to get to know your new home is to take a hot-air balloon ride to get the best views of the picture-perfect mountains, peaceful lakes and ancient Buddhist temples.

Who better to enjoy your first experiences with than the group of TEFL teachers you’ll join in Yangon for your full 5-day orientation.

Feel like a local celebrity while teaching in Myanmar! You may be the first foreigner the locals have seen—be prepared for teacher appreciation days and being asked to step into photos, it’s amazing.

The Burmese people are as kind as the food is tasty, which means you’ll never be stuck for a wholesome meal or a new friendly face to meet.

Before starting your Myanmar adventure, you’ll complete our 120-hour express TEFL course—ready to step in front of your class as a confident leader.

Once you step off the plane you can relax knowing our in-country team will be waiting to collect you from the doors of Yangon International Airport (RGN) and drop you to orientation.

Whether you’re a seasoned teaching professional or have just completed your own education, Myanmar is the place for you! This is a unique experience, even for the most traveled of TEFLers.

Let’s get you booked and enrolled, next stop Myanmar!
