WORK IN Oman AS A TEFL TEACHER
In fact, the present-day national education policy in Oman aims at bringing about improvements in all areas within the Omani education system. The quality of English language teachers is generally regarded as one of the most important factors that impact student learning achievement. Many significant conducted studies and research came up with various ways of improving the quality of teachers and teaching. As a result, Omani schools are looking for qualified English teachers. Here are some guidelines to consider:
Prerequisites for Teaching in Oman Foreign teachers need to have a work permit. To apply for that in your home country, you must have a BA/BS and an iTTi TEFL/ TESOL Certificate with Teaching Practicum. Your prospective school must support you with the visa application paperwork just like it is in other countries.
If you are a non-native speaker, your level of English must be perfect. What is perfect? Level C1 or C2—not only in speaking but also in writing. If you are unsure, take our free proficiency test and learn how you can improve your performance if required. (https://www.internationaltefltraininginstitute.com/proficiency-test-for-international-opportunities/).
Teaching Opportunities There are positions in language centers, universities, and international schools. Public schools offer the lowest salaries, and teachers in international schools earn the most. You need a four-year degree and an iTTi TEFL/TESOL Certification for any paid positions, and the higher your level of education, the better the salary you can expect.
Contract Length Contracts are usually two years and may be renewed.
Salary & Benefits Oman offers well paid teaching opportunities. You can expect a monthly salary between $1,500 – $2,000 tax free, salaries at private schools are between $3,000 to $3,500. The average monthly cost of living in Muscat is 51% lower than in New York and 57% lower than in London, UK.
Most teaching jobs in Oman include furnished accommodations or accommodations at a very low cost. As such, teaching in Oman can be a great way to save money. Other benefits when teaching in Oman may include return airfare, medical insurance provided by the employer, paid vacation time, and allowances for transportation and tuition for dependents.
Healthcare System in Oman Oman has a world-class health care system, ranked one of the best in the world. While working in Oman, you will benefit from the state-of-the-art medical facilities and highly skilled doctors throughout the country. Your employer will register you for health insurance.

Culture in Oman Oman’s culture is based on the fundamental principles of Islam. Muslims are required to pray five times each day after the call to prayer by the Imam. Beautiful, ornate mosques are found throughout the Sultanate, but they are not open to non-Muslim visitors. The holy month of Ramadhan is a time of fasting. Muslims are not allowed to smoke, eat, or drink, during daylight hours. Out of respect, non-Muslims staying in Oman observe the same principles in public. At sunset, the fast is broken with the Ifta feast, traditionally a light meal of dates and rice, which the whole family attends. The dress code is fairly liberal in Muscat, although decency is still expected. Women should wear tops with sleeves and long skirts or trousers. Men are required to wear trousers and shirts with sleeves. Swimwear should be restricted to the beach or pools. Outside the capital area and into the Interior villages, the dress code becomes even more conservative.
Languages Spoken Arabic is the official language of Oman, but English and Asian languages such as Baluchi, Urdu, and Hindi are also spoken. Swahili is used by some, a legacy of Oman’s former East African presence. English is widely present in business.
Religion The main, dominating religion is Islam. Oman is very tolerant regarding other religions, and there are a number of churches and temples for worshippers of other faiths. Friday is the holy day of rest.
Food & Drinks The cuisine in Oman recalls its role as a trading post for east and west. The spices used in stews and soups came to Oman by way of the spice trade from India, but the traditions of grilled meat and preserved fruit came by land from the Arabian Peninsula.
Alcohol is not openly available. You won’t find it on the menu. Some international hotels and upscale restaurants serve it, but it is not shown on the menu. Legal drinking age in Oman is 21.
