In reply to Lauren W.

Hello Lauren,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, you are right, you can earn more money teaching English online in Cambodia than physically teaching at a school in Cambodia.
You are also correct that some Cambodian language schools do have a poor reputation.

There are diamonds in the rough though, and we are able to advise our graduates which schools are the best ones to teach or volunteer at.

Teaching in a classroom in Cambodia definitely has its pros and cons, as does teaching online.

What really matters is that you are a satisfied teacher because a satisfied teacher usually means satisfied students 🙂

Yes, please do feel free to get back in touch with us when you have any further questions regarding jobs and visas. We have someone in the tefl online pro team who knows all about specific visas for digital nomads.

In the meantime, Lauren, we hope that you continue having an amazing time in amazing Cambodia!

Kind regards,

Paul Murphy | Operations Manager | TEFL Online Pro

Hi Paul, Thank you for the mention. I meant to write in my review that I am currently living in Cambodia. My advice for someone coming to Cambodia to work remotely is to get the Ordinary (Business) visa at the airport. It’s possible to extend this visa for up to one year. If you just get the Tourist visa, it is only possible to extend it once for 30 days. I decided I wanted to stay in Siem Reap because there are a lot of home comforts here and there is a vibrant expat community, plus it’s very affordable to live here. My 2-bedroom apartment is only costing me (with all energy bills and internet) $500 US a month. I can easily earn that in one week with my online classes. I know that some countries are now offering special visas for remote workers so I will get in touch with TEFL Online Pro if there is something that I have a question about regarding that type of visa. And lastly, I don’t really recommend teaching for a school in Cambodia. The money isn’t that great, they make you wear business clothes to work, the hours are lousy, and I’ve heard and read about some schools not paying teachers their salaries on time. When you teach online, you avoid all of those hassles and you earn more money. I’m not saying that all schools in Cambodia are a rip off; just quite a lot of them are from what I hear from other teachers. I’ll be back in touch! Lauren.
