India - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution
Exercise increased caution in India due to crime and terrorism. Some areas have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory.

Traveling to and teaching English in Surat offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the "Diamond City" of India, where the rapid pulse of a global industrial hub meets the deep-rooted traditions of Gujarat. As an educator, you will likely find yourself in one of the city's prestigious international or CBSE-affiliated schools—such as Delhi Public School or Tapti Valley International—where the demand for high-quality English instruction is driven by a local community that views language proficiency as a vital tool for international business and trade. Beyond the classroom, life in Surat is a sensory journey; you can spend your weekends exploring the colonial history etched into the Dutch Garden and Surat Castle, or seeking a quiet escape at the black-sand Suvali Beach. The city is legendary for its hospitality and its status as a "foodie paradise," where you can indulge in local specialties like Locho and Undhiyu at bustling street stalls or modern cafes. While the pace of life is energetic and the urban environment can be dense, the warmth of the "Surtis," the affordability of the local lifestyle, and the chance to witness firsthand the craftsmanship of the world's leading diamond and textile industries make it a deeply rewarding destination for those looking to combine a professional teaching career with an authentic, off-the-beaten-path Indian adventure.
