Why Teach in Indonesia
From the bustling city of Jakarta to the quiet, idyllic town of Kupang, we have over 100 centres across over 30 cities for you to explore what Indonesia has to offer as you embark on a one-of-a-kind journey to teach English to eager learners.
From new teachers to experienced educators, our doors are always open. For new teachers, our dedicated academic team will support you in navigating the classroom with easily comprehensible materials designed to keep students engaged while having fun.
Teacher engagement
There are many things to look forward to as soon as you step foot in Indonesia. Navigating the city with your new colleagues, trying out local cuisines, and learning Bahasa Indonesia to converse with locals are just some of the experiences you’ll encounter while teaching with us.
Famous food you’ll grow to love
Indonesia has its fair share of food you may have never come across before. Indonesian cuisine often demonstrates complex flavour acquired from a mixture of ingredients and spices. It is often described as savoury, hot and spicy, and combines basic tastes such as sweet, salty, sour, and sometimes bitter. Here are five foods you might grow to love.
Nasi Goreng (fried rice)
It has been called the national dish of Indonesia (though there are people who will argue with that). This dish is available in just about every restaurant and roadside food stall. With ingredients like - sweet soy sauce, shallots, garlic, tamarind, and chili combined with egg, chicken, and prawn; you can understand its popularity.
Gado Gado
It's an Indonesian salad of boiled vegetables and hard-boiled eggs served with a peanut sauce dressing. This dish is also popular among vegetarians. It’s delicious!
Nasi Campur
Steamed rice served with various pre-cooked dishes - a variety of meats, fish, vegetables, and of course spicy sambals. An Indonesian-style smorgasbord would be a way to describe it. Very popular and available in street restaurants (warung tegal) and specialised restaurants.
Soto
Also known as Sroto, Tauto, and Coto. A traditional soup mainly made up of meat and vegetables with a rich broth. Again, it has also been called the Indonesian national dish and you can find it all over the country.
Sate (or Satay)
It is basically skewered meat and can be made from chicken, beef, or goat. One of the common recipes includes the meat marinated in sweet soy sauce, before being skewered. The skewers of meat are typically grilled on an extremely hot charcoal fire, so the meat cooks quickly while leaving it smoky and juicy.
Training and development
In your first few weeks, you will go through onboarding training. This will be an introduction to teaching local learners, followed by a refresher on teaching methodologies that you covered in your Teaching as a Foreign Language (TEFL) course.
Your academic manager and mentor will support your Continuous Professional Development (CPD) through training workshops and regular observations with feedback. You will also have access to a Learning Management System where you can find a wide range of self-study courses focused on aspects of teaching.
