Although a small island, there are plenty of great locations for teaching jobs in Ireland; here are some that you should definitely check out.

Dublin. The capital city offers plenty of teaching opportunities, both in the public schools system, as well as in the private schools. Although teaching English in Ireland is the most popular and searched-for position, Ireland has a high demand for teachers of other subjects as well, like math, science, or other foreign languages, as well as business English teachers. Outside the classroom, life in Dublin feels like a fairytale, with International Storytelling Festivals, music festivals, National Botanic Gardens, castle hotels, fascinating Gaelic language, warm people, and endless pints of refreshing Guinness.

Cork. Also known as the food capital of Ireland, Cork is the second largest city of the Gaelic country, and is as spiritual and entertaining as Dublin. With a constantly growing number of schools, you can easily find your next teaching job in Cork in one of their international schools, public schools, or universities. When you’re not teaching, you can spend your days browsing through the English markets and trying delicious dishes, listening to the world’s best jazz, learning how the universe was created at the Blackrock Castle Observatory, or trying to learn a bit of Gaelic straight from the locals.

Galway. One of Ireland’s most picturesque cities and recently honoured as European Capital of Culture 2020, Galway is bursting with young students in search of knowledge, and great opportunities for ESL jobs in Ireland for you! Do not be surprised if you’re going to run into your students in the local pubs, where everyone is listening to live music while gorging on delicious seafood and a glass of whiskey.
