TRAVEL & TEACH ENGLISH IN SIERRA LEONE

Sierra Leone - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution
Exercise increased caution in Sierra Leone due to crime and civil unrest.

Teaching English abroad in Sierra Leone offers a unique and rewarding experience in a country rich in culture and resilience. As English is the official language, there is a strong demand for teachers to support students in improving their fluency, particularly in rural areas where educational resources may be limited. The country's breathtaking landscapes, from pristine beaches to lush rainforests, provide an inspiring backdrop for teachers eager to make a meaningful impact. While teaching positions may not offer high salaries, the low cost of living and the opportunity to immerse yourself in local traditions, cuisine, and vibrant community life make Sierra Leone a fulfilling destination for TESOL-certified educators. Sierra Leone, located on the west coast of Africa, features diverse geography encompassing coastal plains, inland hills, plateaus, and mountains. The coastal region is marked by mangrove swamps, estuaries, and sandy beaches, while the interior transitions into rolling hills and plateaus covered in lush rainforests. The eastern region is dominated by the Guinea Highlands, with the Loma Mountains reaching the country's highest point at Mount Bintumani. Several rivers, including the Moa, Rokel, and Jong, flow through the country, creating fertile valleys suitable for agriculture. Sierra Leone's varied landscape supports a rich biodiversity, including numerous endemic species found in its forests and coastal areas.
