Teaching Jobs in Morocco

Morocco holds so much mystery, so much allure, even the name itself rolls off the tongue and instantly evokes exotic ideas of adventure and beauty. Something about deciding to teach English in Morocco is edgier and more exotic than other locations. The land of spice and music lies outside the Western coordinates of comfortability and familiarity on the unknown edge of the map that is fraying. That is Morocco, and it seems few people know much about this unique country on the northwestern coast of Africa.

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 Morocco

Where to Teach Abroad in Morocco

Morocco is unlike any place anywhere else in the world. What other country borders a sea, contains part of a desert, features not one, but two, of the oldest yet most happening cities on the planet (Fez and Marrakech), and is less than an hour’s plane ride away from Europe? If the question is, “Why live and teach English in Morocco?” then the answer is, “Why not!” Here are the best places to teach abroad in Morocco.

Casablanca. This largest city in Morocco and major commercial hub is located in central-western Morocco on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. The Mauresque buildings that blend French colonial and Moorish architecture will make you swoon with delight. While you’re here, be sure to marvel at the Hassan II Mosque, explore the Quartier Habous, and promenade through the redeveloped Parc de la Ligue Arabe. 

Marrakech. At the foothills of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains in central-western Morocco lies this enchanting city that would make Jasmine from Aladdin green with envy. With a labyrinths of souks (marketplaces) that offer everything from carpets to pottery, you can haggle your heart out to the best deal for goods here. From the lavish palaces and riads to the heavenly tajine dishes and briouats (puff pastry), prepare yourself to be under a spell of delight. 

Rabat. The capital of Morocco is located at the mouth of the river Bou Regreg on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in the northwest area of the country. Don’t miss out on moseying down Bouregreg Marina, where you can see the Hassan Tower and the Chellah necropolis. Opposite of the Hassan Tower is the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, which is an Alaouite dynasty masterpiece, and it contains the tombs of this Moroccan king and his two sons.
