Teaching Jobs in French Polynesia

There is a growing demand for English Teachers in French Polynesia, mainly in Tahiti, but also in Bora Bora and Mo'orea. We have noticed that more language schools in the past few years welcome applications from foreign professionals who are willing to permanently relocate to this magnificent island nation in the South Pacific. Futhermore there are no age restrictions for ESL teachers. Geography: Made up of 4,200 square km (1,622 square mi) of land spread over five archipelagoes that cover nearly 2.5 million square km of South Pacific Ocean, French Polynesia became a protectorate of France in 1847 and a colony in 1880. Today it is an "overseas country" or pays d’outre-mer of France and has a population of nearly 250,000, 83% of them Polynesian. The biggest concentration of people is in the capital, Papeete, where around 130,000 people live.
