A Guide to Teaching English Abroad in Bali

Why Teach English Abroad in Bali?

While some teaching jobs in Bali are considered volunteer opportunities (which compensate volunteers with tours to the electric-green rice fields, visits to the coral reefs, and samplings at the local market), others involve 200-hour TEFL instruction and provide lifetime ESL job placement assistance. Primary schools have the highest demand for ESL jobs in Bali, meaning you’ll most likely be teaching in classrooms full of youngsters aged about four to 12. 

Once you’ve taken up sunrise surfing and sunset volcano hikes, our guess is that teaching in Bali indefinitely won’t seem far-fetched. Balinese culture is deeply steeped in spiritual history, which for the modern visitor means frequent festivities and lively, seasonal processions. Better yet, these cultural celebrations make it easy to interact with and befriend those who contribute to the island’s spiritual charm.

The laid-back Balinese mindset will also inform your length of stay—four weeks, no problem. Forever? Also good. Learn more about teaching English in Bali!

Three weeks volunteering in Siem Reap

I spent three weeks volunteering at Salariin Kampuchea Learning Center in Siem Reap, where I helped teach English to younger students and supported the development of their social media presence. It was one of the most enriching experiences I’ve ever had. Some days were more challenging than others—adapting to a new environment and finding ways to communicate across cultures. But what I’ll carry with me, more than anything, is the deep sense of connection I felt with the people. I can confidently say I’ve grown and learned so much, and that’s something I’ll always be grateful for. Living and working within the local community gave me a complete perspective shift. I was struck by their warmth and generosity, and the quiet strength with which they face life. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed. The children, the staff, and my host family made me feel included from the start, making it easy to feel at home throughout my time there
