AMIDEAST, an American NGO dedicated to improving understanding between Americans and the peoples of the Middle East and North Africa, has an entry-level position open for teachers with native proficiency in North American English. We are looking for a one-year commitment. Teachers can expect to be in the classroom for two to six hours per day (one to three classes per day), five days per week. Sessions last for five weeks, and there are one-week breaks between sessions.

Yemen is a poor country with a per capita income of less than $450 per year. It is also a fascinating and challenging country in which to live. Working here is ideal for single candidates who are looking to broaden their EL experience whilst living in the Middle East. Aden, formerly a British Crown Colony, is a warm port city on the Indian Ocean and boasts an inexpensive cost of living, interesting past, wonderful beaches, and great seafood.
