Teach English in the Middle East and Egypt

Egypt: Prosperous Residents Employ Private Tutors

Institutions like the American Univ. in Cairo and the International Language Institute Heliopolis have very exacting standards. At the other end of the spectrum there are plenty of commercial language institutes, often located in the back streets of Cairo, which are less fussy about the backgrounds of their teaching staff.

In prosperous residential areas like Heliopolis, Mardi, and Zamalek anyone who can cultivate contacts may be able to set up private lessons. If you have no acquaintances among affluent Cairenes you will have to advertise with notices written in Arabic and English or in the expatriate press. A simpler way to advertise your availability might be to place an ad in the expatriate monthly Egypt Today or try the notice board at the Community Services Association where expats sign up for adult education courses.

Partly because inflation is very high in Egypt, expenses are low. This is also true for the TEFL training course offered by the American Univ. in Cairo and the International Language Institute.

Most teachers enter Egypt on a tourist visa (which you can purchase at the airport), then ask their school to obtain a work permit for them from the Ministry of the Interior. Work permits are not processed abroad. — Susan Griffith
