Teaching Jobs in New Zealand

The most populous city and often the most popular tourist destination in New Zealand, Auckland is a great place to live and teach in New Zealand. Ranked as one of the world’s most livable cities and a town with one of the highest qualities of living, this coastal city is the dream of many looking to relocate abroad. Furthermore, Auckland is home to many international immigrants, increasing the need for adult ESL teachers. 

Christchurch, making headlines in recent years due to a devastating earthquake, is a city being rebuilt from its ashes. International teachers can find teaching jobs in Churchland because many were vacated when citizens moved away from the city due to the environmental disaster. Nicknamed the Garden City, Christchurch was historically a farming community that has urbanized considerably in the last decades. 

New Zealand’s capital city, Wellington, is home to a large population of Maori citizens and Pacific Islanders, meaning that classroom lessons often include the history of the New Zealand islands and the rich history of the native peoples. Wellington is a uniquely beautiful area, with mountain ranges surrounding the urban center of the city.

Nicknamed the “Twin Cities,” Napier and Hastings are neighboring urban areas located north of the capital on an idyllic Hawke’s Bay. A strong connection to Maori culture and history exists in these cities, making teaching abroad in either a learning experience for both student and teacher alike. These cities are also popular tourist attractions, because of the distinctive architecture that took a hold of the area after a devastating earthquake in the past.
