Teaching jobs in Nepal
Stunning vistas abound in this Himalayan wonderland
It’s one thing to receive meditative training from a Buddhist monk. How about turning the tables? Instead of the monk training you, how about you teaching English in Nepal at a Buddhist monastery? Exiled Tibetans comprise about 20% of Nepal’s population.
Monasteries abound in the mountainous remote regions of Kathmandu. Although Buddhist monks devote their lives to their spiritual practices, they also appreciate fluency in English is a vital skill. Teach English in Nepal and have the opportunity to enrich the lives of these unfortunate exiles. An opportunity to empower those who are lost to their homeland is a noble aspiration for teaching in Nepal.
Apply with ESLstarter, experts in TEFL recruitment, and help make your dream come true of teaching English in Nepal.
