Teaching Jobs in Honduras

Honduras is a place for those who want to make a difference. With nearly two-thirds of the population living in poverty, teachers can impact the lives of their students and in local communities, while living the laid back lifestyle of the friendly and welcoming Honduran people. Sandy coasts teeming with aquatic wildlife, Mayan archaeological sites, and relatively untouched forests make up Honduras’s pristine landscape. Since Honduras offers all the sights and activities of other more popular Central American destinations for a reduced price, teaching English in Honduras affords teachers the chance to take full advantage of their downtime too.

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Honduras

Locations

The majority of teaching jobs in Honduras are located in or around the major cities of Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula. However, the recently high crime and violence rates have made these destinations less popular and are not currently recommended. Fortunately, teaching jobs in Honduras are also available in several small towns and other desirable areas including La Ceiba, the Copan Ruins, the Bay Islands, and more.

Tegucigalpa is one of the two sister cities that make up the capital of Honduras. It is a valley located in the center of the country hemmed in by mountains. Numerous museums and the lively city life contribute to the rich culture of the city, however teaching abroad in Tegucigalpa is becoming increasingly risky as a result of gang and drug violence.

La Ceiba is located on the northern coast of Honduras, and lives up to its Honduran reputation as “the capital of ecotourism”. Not to mention La Tela, one of the premier beaches in all of Honduras, is located just one and a half hours west of La Ceiba. Although it is Honduras’s fourth most populated city, La Ceiba is less developed than Tegucigalpa and teaching jobs or opportunities for volunteering in La Ceiba are often centered on working with poorer communities.

The Copan Ruins are home to many Mayan inhabitants. Ruins, monuments, and plazas contribute to the historic architecture that can be found in quaint Copan. Small class sizes and placements teaching a variety of subjects are just a few of the benefits of teaching at Copan’s locally-founded, not-for-profit bilingual private school.

The three Bay Islands are the epitome of paradise and make up part of the second largest barrier reef system in the world. The economy on the islands is sustained by tourism and fishing, so much so that English is actually the dominant language spoken, with Spanish being the second. Roatan, the largest and most developed of the islands, is where the majority of Bay Island teaching opportunities can be found. Teaching English in Roatan is the ideal option for those who want to spend their weekends off scuba diving and visiting the other two Bay Islands, Utila and Guanaja.
