Dear mother of Jesus you've hit the nail on the head gosh darn ten-fold regarding toxicity of SEA esl Facebook groups. They're chok full of a lot of the older expat community (+55 and onwards) that commit (3×/week) to typing comments that really constitute the introductory paragraph of an f'n 5 paragraph essay whenever someone asks a question for more details regarding esl jobs. And they're so pathetically demeaning and condescending about it too. It never once dawned upon their heads that we're all native English speakers that REALLY share the same struggles and go thru several of the same experiences. This insanely unnecessary division has done nothing but show locals how ridiculously divided we are. Personally I can recall at least 10 years of this childish behavior. It's really sad when this is coming from one of the "younger" guys who isn't even 40 yet 😂
Yeah its wild man, for me personally it was as you said also people insulting each other, grammar checking each other to the point that it'd lead to people demanding public fights. And then places like Vietnam and Malaysia you start to get the locals on them that start to grammar check the native speakers grammar....(New low of stupidity right here)
I dont know about you im fluent English and know NOTHING about grammar in English or at least barely the basics, and why should we? You ask a Vietnamese or Malaysian grammar in their native language probably the same...
Its all crazy,
After my mother passed away i closed my facebook account and honestly felt better and no turning back..place is a sh** feast of toxic slush...
Find a job on there as its the best way, and then get the hell out of dodge ha ha

I agree, the conversations are pretty discouraging. I've seen flat out racism too. Or people coming to conclusions about one's overall competency based on one quick sentence they posted with negligible errors. My guess is either those people had negative experiences and they're projecting it on others or they're trying to mitigate possible competition because they're just miserable people who think only for themselves. There's no way someone can be happy in life if they act that way towards strangers at large.
Also, I think it's important to keep a low profile on those groups. You never know who is reading your comments and what they do with that information. Worst case scenario would be recruiters saving that information and logging it/sharing it with other schools. For example if you went on an angry rampage and cussed someone out like some people do on there.
I've also heard of people warning others about posting resumes publicly and having their document replicated by others to use for illegitimate purposes and ill intent. Not sure how true this is but I wouldn't be surprised given the nature of those forums.
Dave I knew you are far different from those toxic people haha and that's why I enjoy your content. I always vibed with people from Hawaii whenever I crossed paths 🤙
@@Kn1ghtMan Ohh this is true DO NOT POST your CV, passports, or other information on these
Sounds like common sense, but it's done a LOT
I remember back in 2019 or 2020 i forgot but a friend of ours from South Africa apparently posted his with a CV on facebook blocked out a few numbers sure..
but ended up having his ID Stolen via passport a few weeks later, and it wasn't from the post i'd guess
His passport was used ALL OVER FAcEbOOK as marketing advert for agents doing visa extensions....
Why are these rooms toxic, i have no idea...but it does attract the crowd here in SE Asia for what ever reason. You get into gruops in Japan and Singapore its like a whole new platform of rather chill helpful people
willingness to teach and share your knowledge with Khmer children ! welcome to the kingdom of wonder
Wow, thank you
@1:50 well said, you deserve a like right there for that statement. I was a teacher for years in China. Now going to come to Cambodia. I miss Asia! Much respect.
Oh you'll love it
It has a strong Chinese Vid here with a lot less chaos, you'll seriously fit in pretty fast
I lived in Vietnam for 7 years than came here and it was like second nature for me to adapt.
@@EndlessTravels 🙏
Send the recruiting agency...
@@beautykamina1898no agency, you show up at schools in person with your CV.
Thank you for this video!
For sure, now is the time if your serious about coming over. Hiring is up right now.
@@EndlessTravels I want to save $3000 first. Do u think it’s worth paying to get a Tefl or should I just go and find a job when I get there
TEFL is an entry requirement. Saving 3k is easy the TEFL check the links in my bio to get a big discount and get it done now.
Schools will go as far as want a TEFL visual to them over a degree
On my way!!
Let's goooo!
Same leaving the US and looking for a career change. I've been in the Car Sales industry for Audi for 5 years. Tired of working just to poay 2K a month for an apartment and not being able to travel.
Let me sum it up… 1. Be a native English speaker 2. Go to Cambodia … congratulations you can now teach English abroad
If you keep this up, AI will be out of a job :)
What an informative video, thank you so much. Am looking to come over there on a tourist visa and look for a job, please advise me on which time of the year should I consider coming and best cities with low crime thank you.
Hey thank you I am glad it helped out.
In regard to when to apply if your intent is Cambodia, it is simlar to Vietnam were majority of schools are centers meaning year round hiring and classes.
As of NOW this week is mid-terms for most 1 - 12th grade schools so if you are looking to work directly with a public gov school i'd say start applying in about a month and try to be here or close as many will prefer applicants that are local not abroad.
With cities in Camboida there are 2 main ones, PP and Siem reap, honestly your best bet. I could go on for some time on towns that are amazing but if you are not used to the Asian culture it can be a bit of an over culture shock and a real throw back to pre modern living and whats here for you to you to use and have.
In all, i'd say get your CV up, some type of intro video as schools are starting to want that and start applying now with the intent start date you want and get in early, i said in a month which is accurate but is also when 100's of others are applying, looking, and schools are digging though old applications from the prior hiring spree,
@@EndlessTravels thank you so much.
79 YEARS old and GOOD health, LOTS of TFL/TESL experience, BS in Elementary Ed, Associates in Psychology US/Mexico/China English Teaching experience and MORE... AT MY AGE WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF A JOB TEACHING IN CAMBODIA?
Maybe and if not hyou got all of SE Asia sounds like your qualified. I did know a guy he was 67 i believe same name as me. He was just full of energy and every one loved the guy. He was teaching for so long until he retired and went back to his home country.
You got this
Hey 👋 whats the duration for the TEFL onliine course? Thanks
I finished it back in the day over the weekend
It’s rather well explained and to the point it’s also accredited which is huge plus check below

How long does it take for the school to finish doing your criminal background check for people from the U.S.A. I looked it up online here and for me to request it, can take up to 6 months with an apostolate. If you pay an agency then, it takes like 1.5 months and costs like $150. This is such a nightmare for Americans. The Canadians and Australians get there criminal background checks processed in like only 1 week from their governments.
You are talking about the FBI check in the states?
If so it can take 2 to 6 months,, its rather insane.
Honestly just get it done here, it cost about 10 to 20 USD and you get it in a few weeks and the Immigration can use it for your permit much easier.
Even Candianis and Aussies have to have their converted to VNese and stamped so in all we all kind of suffer this battle.
Your school, business, or wife should know where to go any major city police station can take care of it
Be ready for the question of "Where were you living when you were 15" they go back this far. Than yoiu'll get a reply within a few weeks
@@EndlessTravels but I thought most schools don't ask for a background check. In fact, I heard some schools don't even ask for your qualifications like tefl.
@@EndlessTravels When u say "just get it done here" do you mean in Cambodia? Go to a Cambodian Police station for a foreign (American) background clearance check? thx
Can I use my TEFL Universal digital certificate? If not, how much is the course you mentioned including the hard copy? I'm in New York, USA.
Universial Digital Certicate? I am NOT sure on that, is there a way to get a hard copy of it, the Governments inAsia will WANT a version of it.
The one i mentioned Click the link i put it'll kick you off 15% and it includes Digital instant print out and a physical one sent to you. Also includes helping for work in Asia and some other perks..
I've been using it all over Asia no issues ever in 8 years
@@EndlessTravels TEFL Universal, too, turned out to be another scam! I will trust you and go with iTTT then. By the way, they also seem to offer an online Bachelor's in TESOL degree. It seems affordable so I'm thinking of getting it while teaching English in Cambodia. How do I know if their Bachelor's in TESOL degree is legit though? I couldn't find any samples of the degree certificate online.
OHH man, im sorry..If you haven't already email me, i'll drop all credit and get you a 20% off the program. That sh** annoys m e when they be scamming like that. TEFLs and CERTAs are so hard to tell if real or fake any more.
A Bachelor's in TESOL?? I have no idea what that even means. Is that even a real thing? Bach. of Art or Science is all I am aware off. Even a real English teacher with a Bachelor's has a Bach. of Arts degree in English education...Bach. of TESOL sounds a bit off but i could be wrong..just nothing i've never heard of.
EDIT: I talked to some of my Philipino friends out in VIetnam that have real degrees to teach English and asked them about that, they all laugh and said thats a big scam in PH they try to push on locals. So do your research on it first before you jump on it, also a Bach degree takes 3 to 4 years to complete..not a weekend that could be another red flag for you
@@EndlessTravels ITTT's bachelor's degree is also a four-year degree (they emailed me the course overview). And their master's degree takes two years. I'm skeptical too but I'm only considering it because it's from ITTT and their TEFL courses are legit, after all.
Could you please find out? Thank you.
@@EndlessTravels 20% discount? Wow, thanks. What's your email address?
How long is the certification valid? Does it need to be renewed periodically?
THe Link below this video one does NOT expire. Get it once and you are certified and it is accredited. Typically entry exams are what have an expiration date.
So if I take the 120 hour ITTT Level 4 course, I’m certified and good to get any job in Cambodia with a business visa?
Any other tips?
Yeah click the link below, and get the 120 hour TEFL and you are good in Cambodia and also all of SE Asia
You can get it knocked out over the weekend, and they'll give you a digital copy and mail a phsyical in the mail to ya
IF your still in your home country, get copies of it and notorized at your local post ofice before you come will help speed things up when you get here to Cambodia to get a work permit
How is it possible to do a 120 hour course over the weekend?!
any advice on where someone can find part time/evening/weekend teaching jobs. Great video, thank you
😊
Hey! Extra work work i'd say go all in on facebook its what agents, teachers, parents, and schools all use and respond the fastest this way
Weekend and evening jobs part or full time, i'd say apply at some of the English centers, those are typically their hours as it doesn't bump times with public schools.
A BIG trend going on in Vietnam and Thailand though is online teaching. I hear it takes a LOT of work to get into it if you just doing basic English, but it is another option
Hope it helps :)
1:40 I'm from Nigeria. How do I start the process and is it stressful getting the job ??
If i am NOT mistaken you need to take an English exam like the other countries in Asia if your not from a native speaking country.
The test cost and what not are up to you, they very depending where you get them done, just sure its accredited.
As i said in the video just get on facebook and search for "Cambodia English teaching jobs" mix the words around a bit if you must but that should bring up forums and chat rooms you can look into. Focus on the adverts, email or message them and good to go
Not to stressful honestly
@@EndlessTravelsNigerians are native English speakers
How much would i have to work to make 700 a month? What about reporting income to the staes? Do you have to or is it? Want to avoid that.
In regard to reporting taxes per the UNited States tax codes updated by Obama you need to be making ap 115/120 USD per year over seas for it needed to be reported. Check with your accountant for this full law.
To make 700 a month? Thats really not a lot, i'd say just a typical parttime border line full time job and your set. The average pay in Cambodia is 13 to 20 an hour so it can very. Most my people working now make 1200 to 1700 a month working the typically 20 teaching hours a week
My advise check the activity books below we've written over the years, learn those walk into class rooms and you could get away with fill in gigs and make that rather easy and be in high demand. In general Cambodian schools want the "Fun" teacher not the effective one, as odd as that sounds.
Check the links below for the eBooks, everyone using them so far are way past the 700 mark with almost no effort
Hi is it wise to relocate with my children cause I'm currently teaching online ? Will they have proper education in cambodia?
There are international schools that can be costly. In General Thailand, cambodia, Vietnam are heavly communist based styles meaning they focus on national/local education I.e. government and similar. Also all 3 are "Pay to win" nations of education meaning grades are ether sold by paying the teachers a bribe (Vietnam cambodia) or they are just given so the schools can get a bonus from the gov (Thailand)
If you are teaching online and consider online or home schooling it would be ideally 1000% better.
If you must do a school research the BBC or American international schools, are costly but way more western style
Thank you so much for your response it has given me more light and understanding ❤️❤️
Hi sir can you help me i live in pakistan i have only
college degree and tefl certificate.Will I need a university degree or Is it difficult for me to get English teaching job in foreign countries?Sir please let me know as soon as possible
Isn't a colege degree from a univeserity? In America its just about the same meaning so maybe i miss understand.
Ether way in Cambodia as i said in the video you don't need a degree at all, just a TEFL so you are good from what im told from my PH friend.
Start contacting schools online now and applying get their responses, find what works and fly out
Biggest problem is nearly all students have zero general knowledge. Also zero knowledge of other countries. It is so disheartening to the few really “ want to learn students”
It is sad, the system really F's it up for it all in the end, so even the ones that do care..it really doesn't matter as the bad ones will pay to win, and because of that it devalues the school to western places and other nations surrounding.
A BIG reason why so many send their kids abroad to learn instead of in SE Asia were apparently its the "Best" per Malaysians i've talked too 🤣
Not mistaken HCM educated outside, the last 5 Kings of Thailand have western educations, and the current VNese south president has a child in Canada or the US i forgot going to school...
BUt yeah its sad, they would rather F over their own for profit, but the same time they are raising them to be mind less sheep, i guess if thats the objective, objective meet
@@EndlessTravels. I’ve been teaching in south VN for about 5 years. Often I know more about VN than students. I fully understand that people don’t have the money to travel. Yet when they do it’s cafe. Selfie, sleep, cafe, restaurant and sleep. Totally obsessed with food. Which is not great at best.I really love my students. I’d love to take them on holiday.
@@aaroncov Yeah that is true not knowing much, to be fair who really knows their own nation's history any more. Countless Videos of Americans, Candians, aussies ext being asked on the streets basic history of hteir nation and they are dumb founded ha ha
We are in a fast pace new world where most of that information holds almost no value to a majority of people. Is it good or bad, up to the person i guess.
The eating yeah, its insane. I did my very last teaching job in Thailand after Vietnam and it was way worse, even the lunch room was 95% junk food, dounuts, soda, etc
They were LOADING kids on carbs, sugars, junk food and 95% of the time in class kids were just on tiktok or facebook
This next generation of people in SE Asia in general are going to be in for a HUGE rude awaking that even you or me could not stop as this is the culture not just a few students. Talking kids to break the mental cycle their government and schools have been telling them is mission impossible status
@@aaroncov Won't lie man, i though VIetnam was bad. Then i went to Thailand to try it out and see what was up. It is 10 fold worse in Thailand, seirously i went about 5 different schools all around Thailand it was like all these schools were THOT training campuses for bar girls
All the students do is tiktok, tiktok, eat candy or anything with way to much sugar than more tiktok in between make up
Mind you most these people i talking about where 12 to 15 years old..
It seriously is sad, if i was a father here i'd lose my F'n mind lol
How much salary per month teaching English in Cambodia
It'll depend if you have a degree or not, native or not, and exp. If your native 800 to 1200,nonenative remove about 300 a month from that.
Ether way its enough to live off of in Cambodia
@@EndlessTravels ok thanks, is it possible to convert Cambodia visit visa to work permit?
@@user-vt8fo4dm7b yeah for sure, when you start working is when you should start the process. As long as the school has their business permit it's not a hard process at all. If you don't than yes you'l be doing border runs
@@EndlessTravels Am definitely deciding to Travel by next month but i don't know if now is the best time to get English teaching job or in around July or August
@@user-vt8fo4dm7b Unless you are goign public or university this should NOT be your concern. English centers in Cambodia, well in SE Asia hire year round.
Check online job site and start applying now is best bet and set up interviews when you get there or at least get to know people in the schools to meet them when you feel your ready.
Can you please make a repeat video of this. I dunno wanna hear your speaking from your nose due to colds or wahtever.. :D
its not a cold, i got a nasal pulp in this video
Just speed it up, you'll get a cool Chipmunk effect
I think advertising how to teach English in Cambodia without a degree is doing a disservice to people who came here to teach English, who have a B.A., B.Ed. and some of us even TEFL degrees. I've taught at various schools from kindergartens to junior high, senior high, university, technical colleges. Those of us who have a lot of experience and have taken years to get the salary we are making now, would find an influx in inexperienced, unqualified teachers not easy to deal with. If a school wants to save money, who will they hire. Those at the top, or those who have little or no experience. I shake my head when I see this, as after having taught her 17 years, and been a teacher in Japan and Canada, and now ready to retire at 75. It blows my mind to think of such new people joining the ranks of "professional" teachers.
So are you annoyed i advised people of the legal system in education and working in Cambodia, or are you annoyed that Cambodian schools can legally hire none university degree holders to work in Cambodia?
You are teaching in Japan and Cananda is nothing similar to Cambodia and the standard are border line ground zero..
I think you confuse what a teacher is and what someone in SE Asia telling other kids how to say words are...
All good though
ETher way these are the laws of Camobida, i can advise you to their government website or your own Embassy in the country to give concerns of their legal system
It's OK. Im at the end of my teachng career when this contract expires in September. I have seen some good teachers (without degees) but I have seen a lot of bafoons in classrooms as well. @@EndlessTravels
I suppose I am just shocked, because when I came here they wanted a copy of your degrees and your working resume. Now it seems anyone can teach. Well so be it. I hope it work out both for the schools and the teachers.. I just shake my head that all that work has been replaced by something I find incredible. That's all.
