English Teacher and Tutoring
There is a huge demand for “Native” English speakers as English teachers. Anyone who is interested in teaching English will have no trouble getting employment and a work visa through a school or organization. However, the pay is generally low compared to other countries. Though it’ll usually be just enough for room and board plus a little extra.
For better paying jobs, you’ll probably have to work for a Non-Government Organization. Volunteer (unpaid) jobs (such as teaching English, helping charities, assisting geological digs, etc.) are in abundance and are a great experience. If you want to be an English tutor, you can just post your ads in local newspapers and other media. Mongolians like to be taught English by native speakers.
English teaching jobs
For the native English speaker there is plenty of opportunity to teach English privately – normally for more than the schools pay but with less job security and often without a work visa. Jobs are normally advertised in the English language newspapers The Mongol messenger and The UB Post which can be picked up from the Central Post Office and other paper booths in the street. Other places include the notice boards in bars which expats frequent and hotels and hostel notice boards.
Word of mouth also can bring in job offers so ask around – sometimes you get random text messages from friends of friends asking for help. Some teachers work part time for schools and give the (more well-off) pupils extra lessons to supplement their income. Rates are around $10 an hour.
