Teaching English in Ireland offers a dynamic opportunity to connect with diverse learners and immerse them in a vibrant teaching environment. As a native English-speaking country, Ireland provides a competitive job market for qualified TEFL teachers. Positions are available at private language schools or through private tutoring. 

Classes typically emphasize Conversational English, General English, Business English, and English for Specific Purposes—Aviation, Hospitality, and Nursing. Contract lengths vary, with year-round hiring seasons for teaching positions.

To qualify, a TEFL certification such as the Level 5 Diploma is recommended, particularly for competitive roles. A bachelor’s degree is typically required, and non-EU citizens need to secure a work permit or a Working Holiday Visa. The latter is valid for 12 months, allowing you to travel and support your stay by teaching. While teaching experience is not mandatory, it is preferred and enhances job prospects.
