Teaching Jobs in Bali, Indonesia

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

My two years of primary teaching experience across Morocco and Qatar was both transformative and overwhelming. Starting in Morocco with grades 4-6 at a private school, I quickly discovered that my biggest fear - teaching language to children - became my greatest joy. The students' natural curiosity and fearless approach to learning new languages made those lessons the highlight of my day, proving far easier and more enjoyable than I had anticipated. While the overall experience pushed me well beyond my comfort zone with cultural adjustments, classroom management challenges, and the high energy demands of working with 9-12 year olds, it ultimately fostered tremendous personal and professional growth. Despite feeling overwhelmed throughout much of the journey, I gained invaluable insights into cross-cultural education and developed a deep appreciation for the magic that happens when young minds embrace language learning.
