About Teaching English in Honduras
One of the poorest nations in Central America, Honduras represents a growing job market with both paid and volunteer opportunities.
English teaching jobs in Honduras are available from April through August, with a typical teaching contract being 6 or 12 months in length. In most cases, schools recruit teachers locally on the ground in Honduras through in-person interviews, but there are some instances where schools will recruit in advance via phone/Skype. While a BA is preferred, it is not required to teach English in Honduras, however, a TEFL certification is.
