Long Term English Teacher

International Academy of Business and Technology (IABT), a private education institution in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is recruiting experienced native-English-speaking teachers for long-term positions starting in 2026.

This role is not a children’s camp or short-term holiday programme. We are specifically seeking all-round English teachers with strong grammatical knowledge who can confidently teach speaking, listening, grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing across multiple proficiency levels.

Who We Are Looking For:

• Can clearly explain grammar and language structure
• Balance communicative teaching with accuracy
• Comfortable teaching teenagers and adults
• Can teach beyond games, icebreakers, and surface-level conversation
• Are seeking stability and continuity, not short-term camp roles

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and deliver structured English lessons aligned to learning outcomes
• Teach across all four skills plus grammar and vocabulary
• Provide constructive, developmental feedback on speaking and writing
• Adapt lessons for mixed-ability classes
• Maintain basic academic records (lesson plans, attendance, assessments)
• Collaborate with colleagues to ensure curriculum consistency
• Participate in ongoing professional development

Essential Requirements

• Native English speaker (passport holder: UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand)
• Bachelor’s degree (any discipline)
• CELTA / TESOL / TEFL (CELTA or equivalent strongly preferred)
• Proven ability to teach grammar confidently
• Experience teaching teens and/or adults
• Strong classroom management and communication skills
• Professional, reliable, and committed to a long-term role

Highly Regarded (but not essential)

• Degree in English, Linguistics, Education, or Applied Linguistics
• Experience teaching academic writing or exam preparation
• IELTS / Cambridge teaching or examining experience
• Curiosity about educational technology or AI-supported teaching

Important: This position is not suitable for teachers whose experience is limited to games-based teaching, conversation-only classes, or short-term children’s camps. Applicants must be comfortable teaching grammar, reading, and writing in addition to speaking and listening.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete a brief teaching diagnostic and a live classroom-style task as part of the interview process.

Position Details

• Long-term, on-site position in Kuala Lumpur
• Structured timetable and academic support
• Competitive monthly salary (commensurate with experience)
• Contract renewal and progression opportunities
• Multicultural, professional working environment
