BHUTAN - Primary school teacher needed for August

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to teach in the remote Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. Deki School in Thimphu is looking for one primary school teacher to start in August 2017.

Few foreigners are allowed in the country and tourists must pay an extravagant 250$ a day. This is your chance to get paid to experience the culture and surroundings of this hidden world.Teachers should posses a bachelor of education and have some travel experience.

I have been working at the school for 6 months and must return to Canada in July but I would like to find my replacement to finish the academic year. You would be teaching English to grade 1 and 2 from August to November with the possibility of an extension if you so desire.

QUALIFICATIONS

-Native english speaker (Canada, U.S.A., Australi
-Bachelor of education
-Experience teaching primary level students is an asset
-Travel experience is an asset

COMPENSATION

- 30,000 Ngultrem per month - about 600$ CND (Double the average Bhutanese teacher's salary)
-Somewhat furnished accommodation close to school (bed, bedding, T.V., rice cooker, curry cooker) for 7,700 Nu per month

JOB REQUIREMENTS

-Teach from Monday-Friday and half day on Saturday.
-Finish putting on a school play (I have already prepared students somewhat)
-Lesson plans to be shown to the principal on a weekly basis.

There are not many other foreigners so you will be stared at but the people are really friendly and most are able to communicate in English. I am looking for a dedicated and passionate teacher to replace me and make a real difference with these students. The teaching style here is quite different and coporal punishment is still being phased out. The squeamish are not recommended. But in the end it such a rewarding job. The students will love you and ask you so many questions.

Please email me with your resume, cover letter (or a brief note about why you want the job) and a recent picture to james.d.dover@gmail.com. Feel free to ask any questions about the job if you have them.
