Syria is located in southwest Asia and borders the Mediterranean, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Turkey. The official language of Syria is Arabic.

Most educated Syrians speak English; however, English is not widely understood in Syria. Therefore, the market for teaching English there is flourishing. Syrian ESL learners are driven by a desire to enhance their communication skills so as to excel in business and academia on a global level.

Interestingly, the Syrian government rewards its employees for their command of the English language by funding an English scholarship program. The goal is for employees who are awarded the scholarship to succeed in their careers and thus enable the Syrian government to make greater advancement. This demonstrates the need for English teachers in this country.

Teach in Poland & Eastern Europe

In 1989, a year of drama unmatched in modern history, government after government collapsed in Eastern Europe and politically transformed not only Poland but also East Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, and the Soviet Union itself.
