This is perfect a lot of other videos, sugar coat teaching English in Cambodia. If you want to teach English in Cambodia please be prepared to work hard. It’s not easy by any means minimum 10 hour shift at the school, as well as tasks you may need to do in the evening. And as he says there is a lot of ego and competition between the expat teachers.

[@MarkDOUBLE-hu3ri]

A great deal of interesting insights. I totally agree with the comparisons between Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam having worked in all countries. Regardless of how much money you can make and the lifestyle you can generate the biggest problem in all of these countries is that the local women earn peanuts, many of them are supporting their families so if you want to date them you are expected to pay for absolutely everything. If the relationship progresses into marriage you can kiss good buy to any potential savings,

[@rebornabroad]

I do think that dating Vietnam and Cambodia are better than Thailand. I think generally, the people are more solid, and the women are often looking to marry. Seems in Thailand almost everyone is freelancing. Cities like Saigon, you can meet Vietnamesr women who earn high salaries and are very wealthy. The same is true in Bangkok to an extent, but I really feel like with thai people, it's much harder to get to know them where as the Vietnamese and Khmai I forged really strong friendships.

[@MarkDOUBLE-hu3ri]

@@rebornabroad I know plenty of Vietnamese and Thai women through Linkedin who earn decent incomes. However usually that money goes to support their extended families . Secondly they don't want to have relationships with western guys because of the stigma attached. From my network of western male friends who have married Asian women their wives generally come from poor families in the countryside. To illustrate this at a personal level, I once dated a Vietnamese lecturer at a private international university her income was 20 m vnd per month but she had to give half of this to her family and she told me if we were to get married, I would have to pay for all the wedding give her parents 100 m vnd. Then she would stop working to have a family but I would still need to give her parents 10m vnd per month. Her younger brother also a university lecturer married to a Vietnamese lady wasnt expected to give any money to the parents.

[@ddnick8688]

Did the English teaching thing in Phnom Penh. Everything these guys are saying is 100% true. I will say when my wife and I decided to leave the accredited international school where we were at because of evaluation policy that really made teaching impossible they did offer to modify it. Also as stated by the teacher here, international schools are full of narcissistic admin who are doing things here that would not be tolerated in western schools with teacher unions. Do your research.

[@rebornabroad]

Great comment! Same in Viet Nam with the international school narcissistic types.

We have a consulting service for prospective expats. Teaching in Cambodia isn't as good as Vietnam, but we have some HR contacts we can connect you to with our service. Mostly in PP. Cab reach me on the fan page for details. Contact information is in the description

[@davidcolman5290]

Sounds like a recruiting agency to me. You will get a job for sure, but there will be a fee. My advise is come to Cambodia with a resume and go to every school in the area and submit your resume. You will get a job, without any fees. Worked for me.

[@stutterstudios4731]

Y’all mentioned in this video how some Asians are prejudiced about what an English teacher should look like. If I’m half black and American. Are there certain countries to avoid in that regard? Great video 🙏🏼

[@rebornabroad]

In Vietnam, they pay more but tend to he more racist than being said. Your American. You have one of the strongest passports on earth. You will be fine. It's much, much worse for non white people from developing countries. If you're from Africa or the Middle East, it can be really hard not to get fucked around or abused unless they get lucky and someone is open minded. A lot of times, it's not the employers per se. It's often time for parents who may have never even met a foreigner before. These countries are much more nationalistic and homogeneous compared to a place like America where we have multiculturalism and legal rights for minorities ect. It's a different mindset. Don't let it worry you. You will be ok and if you have documents even better. If you'd like to work with us for consulting or employment contacts, contact me on the Facebook fan page or any contact information in the description below. I can definitely help you take the risk out of finding employment. 🙏🏻

[@AuthorJamesFlynn]

Do part time teaching jobs exist in Phnom Penh? Around 15 hours a week? Or is it all full time?

[@rebornabroad]

Depends on the need for a specific institution, so yes, for sure, but it's also a very small market, so getting people to fill spots is definitely going to be easier for them. Whereas Vietnam is an enormous market and demand far surpasses supply. Cambodia is a very small market

You won't be able to get a work permit in Vietnam over 60, so we'd have to do an investment visa than have you just teach one on ones. In Cambodia, there isn't an age restriction on work permits.

You'll be crossing a border every 90 days, and the government has been checking accommodation more often, asking why someone on a tourist visa has a 6 month lease. From a tax perspective, they are making being able to pay you more difficult, but one on ones would be impossible to really manage.
