Teaching English in Cambodia: Khmer English Schools

There are a number of pluses for teaching in the kingdom. Work visas are available on arrival and can be renewed indefinitely without papers or letters of recommendation.
Private schools are present in every major center and most do not demand ESL or TEFL certificates or even references and proof of experience. However the standard the school demands has a direct impact on pay per hour. For instance, leading school Australian Center for Education (ACE) demands proof of qualifications and long hours of preparation and marking. In return it covers visas and pays some of the highest rates of any school (around 12-15USD per hour spent in the classroom).
Other popular schools for foreigners seeking work include Home of English and American School. American School in particular pays typically modestly – around $6 USD per hour – but offers regular hours and has a good business reputation.
