Teach for Myanmar

Teach for Myanmar (TFM) provides a unique experience to be immersed in Myanmar supporting community-minded students. We match motivated volunteers with community organizations focused on education in Myanmar. Our volunteer teachers fill the vital role of sharing knowledge and skills to help young adult students reach their goals related to community development.

Our volunteers teach a range of classes, mostly Pre-Intermediate English classes focused on academic, listening and speaking classes. Other classes include Social Sciences, Environmental studies, and workshops in areas including art, dance, public speaking, research, grant writing, etc. Teachers are encouraged to share their interests and talents with prior approval.

Our teachers spend 3 hours/ day up to 20 hours/ week in the classrooms. Volunteers will be able to consult with the program staff in Yangon about logistical, social or academic issues that may arise. In addition to teaching and logistical support, volunteers receive some financial support to offset their expenses during their placement and support arranging an appropriate visa.

Volunteering with TFM requires pragmatism, patience, independence, initiative and a genuine respect for the host people and their culture.

Ideal candidates:
* Speak English with native-fluency
* Can commit for 10 weeks – 12 months, with some exceptions
* Are flexible and hard working people with experience living in developing counties
* Have teaching experience or strong academic backgrounds
* Are aware and culturally sensitive to Myanmar’s traditions and ways of life
