Ipoh, located in the state of Perak, Malaysia, sits in the Kinta Valley surrounded by picturesque limestone hills and lush rainforests. This rapidly growing city is known for its colonial-era architecture, vibrant street art, and delicious local cuisine. Ipoh's strategic position between Kuala Lumpur and Penang makes it a convenient base for exploring Malaysia's natural beauty, including nearby caves, hot springs, and waterfalls. As the government promotes English in schools, there's a significant demand for English teachers in Ipoh, especially at private institutions where salaries are generally higher. Teachers here can find rewarding opportunities, with peak hiring in January and February, though positions are available throughout the year. Learn more about teaching English in Malaysia.
