Sri Lanka - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution
Exercise increased caution in Sri Lanka due to civil unrest, and terrorism.

Teaching English abroad in Sri Lanka offers an incredible blend of cultural richness, natural beauty, and meaningful impact. As a country with a growing demand for English proficiency, especially in tourism and business sectors, Sri Lanka provides ample opportunities for TESOL-certified teachers. You’ll find yourself teaching eager students while surrounded by lush tea plantations, serene beaches, and ancient temples. With a lower cost of living, your teaching salary can comfortably cover expenses, allowing you to explore cultural festivals, wildlife safaris, and the iconic Sigiriya Rock Fortress. Teaching in Sri Lanka not only advances your career but also immerses you in a vibrant and welcoming culture. Sri Lanka, a teardrop-shaped island nestled in the Indian Ocean, boasts a diverse geography. Its terrain features a mountainous central region, surrounded by coastal lowlands. The Central Highlands, home to the country's highest peak, Pidurutalagala, are characterized by plateaus, valleys, and escarpments. The coastal plains, encompassing most of the island, are relatively flat and fertile, suitable for agriculture. Numerous rivers, including the Mahaweli, Kelani, and Kalu, originate in the highlands and flow radially outwards, nourishing the plains. The coastline, stretching over 1,300 kilometers, is fringed by lagoons, estuaries, sandy beaches, and mangrove swamps.
