Teaching Jobs in Jordan

Individuals can explore a beautiful country and culture through teaching jobs in Jordan. Teaching abroad in Jordan is an excellent opportunity to explore the Middle East, since the nation is in close proximity to many other nations in the region. Although Jordan is not a large geographically, the population of 6.5 million people gives the country a unique flavor from its neighbors. Although it is important to have some Arabic language knowledge, such as reading numbers and signs, many Jordanians speak some English and are more than willing to help visitors. However, because of the lack of local English language skills, it is easy to find opportunities to teach English in Jordan.

Teaching English in Cartagena Colombia

I volunteered along with my girlfriend to teach English at Emerging Voices in Cartagena, Colombia from Nov-Dec of 2019. The experience overall was amazing. We got to work with lots of different groups of people, from young children living in a poor neighborhood to teenagers learning skills related to the hospitality industry, to adults whose English was very good, but they just lacked the confidence to use it. I also enjoyed the ability to visit other projects at Emerging Voices such as the project to feed and spend time with the homeless and the sports development project that worked with kids living in a Drug Rehabilitation Centre. One of the highlights was definitely meeting all of the other volunteers. Programs like these bring out great people and we had a ton of fun hanging out with people coming from all over North America. My other highlight was definitely the food! Sophie was our local Colombian chef and she made the most amazing meals every day. I was always excited for mealtime! She also kept the house impeccably clean and even made our beds every day; what an amazing lady! I also enjoyed working with Monica who is the program owner. She is a very inspiring woman and a kind soul. We happened to be there during a transitional time for Emerging Voice so that meant we had lots of different volunteers, but also lots of different coordinators. We had three different teaching coordinators during our 4-week stay. One consistent throughout though was Lao. He worked with the childcare program, but he was the only constant in the volunteer house for the entire time that we were there and he made our experience that much better with his kindness and light-hearted nature. The last thing that I really enjoyed was the location of the volunteer house. It was located in the safe neighborhood of Crespo; it was only a 5-minute walk to the beach and only a 10-minute cab to downtown so it was truly perfect! All in it was an amazing experience and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to give back and also push themselves a little out of their comfort zone!

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Jordan

Locations

The capital city of Jordan, Amman, has much to offer in both teaching jobs and a social life once the work day is complete. The government has recently taken a stance aimed at reforming the education system, in order to prevent poverty and enhance the economy and general quality of life. As a result of this educational reform, opportunities to teach in Amman are on the rise. Teachers interested in teaching subjects such as math, chemistry, English, and music teachers are all in high demand in Amman. In addition to having knowledge of any of the latter subjects, being a foreign teacher will also help your chances of getting a teaching job in Amman, as the education reform is aimed at teaching cultural awareness and understanding too.

Experience a city like no other by teaching abroad in Petra. Known as the “Rose City” because of the red rock in which it is carved into, this archeological attraction of a city draws visitors from all over the world. As a UNESCO world heritage site, since 1985, Petra has no shortage of sites to see. These ancient sites can be worked into your lesson plan, making the educational experience for both you and your students that much richer.

Zarqa is the second largest city in Jordan, and is slowly growing into an industrial city. Zarqa is home to the only oil refinery plant in Jordan, and it also happens to offer an affordable cost of living.
