TRAVEL & TEACH ENGLISH IN IRAN
Iran - Level 4: Do Not Travel
Do not travel to Iran due to the risk of terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, arbitrary arrest of U.S. citizens, and wrongful detention.
Teaching English in Iran offers a unique cultural experience in one of the Middle East's most historically rich and diverse countries. English teachers are in demand, particularly in private language institutes where students, professionals, and university applicants seek to improve their English skills. While salaries may not be high compared to Western standards, the low cost of living in Iran allows teachers to live comfortably. Iran's vibrant bazaars, ancient architecture, and hospitable people make it an unforgettable destination. However, it's important to understand and respect the country’s cultural and social norms, which include a modest dress code and specific legal regulations for expatriates. Iran is also called Persia, and is a country in Western Asia. It is bordered to the west by Iraq and Turkey, to the northwest by Azerbaijan and Armenia, to the north by the Caspian Sea, to the northeast by Turkmenistan, to the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan, and to the south by the Gulf of Oman, and the Persian Gulf.
