There may be more schools with open teaching jobs in Accra, but it may also be more difficult to find a gig since it’s a bustling city with more competition.
The smaller city of Cape Coast is just a few hours away and is right on the water. A university is located in Cape Coast, making it a place that caters to education and volunteers who want to teach English in Ghana. You will also find a historical slave castle, several volunteer offices, and easy access to the ocean.

If you teach English in Ghana in rural areas, nearly everyone in the village will know your name and you may be expected to meet with the chief, occasionally. A trip to the market in these areas may cost you a couple dollars for groceries and thirty or so conversations for the time. Having this kind of community support will not only benefit your teaching job but will also enhance your overall daily experience.
