Country: Yemen

AMIDEAST, a non-governmental organization dedicated to strengthening understanding and education in the Middle East and North Africa, has positions open at its Yemen offices for TEFL/CELTA-certified teachers with native or native-like English language proficiency.

These positions are ideal for entry-level teachers or anyone looking to improve his or her teaching skills by working with mentors in a guided, structured, and supportive atmosphere. Teachers work with students from a variety of ages and backgrounds; additionally, a significant percentage of our students are underserved youth who have received U.S.-government-sponsored scholarships. Teaching is complemented by a library, CALL lab, and multimedia-equipped classrooms.

Teachers can expect to work four to six hours per day (two to three classes per day), five days per week. Sessions last for six weeks and there are one-week breaks between most sessions. Teacher salary ranges from $10 to $14 per hour, depending upon experience and qualifications. Housing, round-trip transportation to home of origin, and residency processing are also provided for teachers able to make a one-year commitment. Teachers should be willing to teach at any AMIDEAST Yemen locale (Sana’a, Aden, and Mukalla) and be able to start by October 20, 2007.

Qualified and interested applicants should contact Edward Prados (eprados@amideast.org) for application procedures and additional information.
