International Academy of Business & 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:
We are looking for professional ESL educators who:
Can clearly explain grammar and language structure
Balance communicative teaching with accuracy
Are comfortable teaching teenagers and adults
Can teach beyond games, icebreakers, and surface-level conversation
Are seeking stability and continuity, not short-term camp
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.

Please mention that you found the job on Teast for the school's reference.
📌 Please review the requirements to teach English in Malaysia before you start applying for teaching positions. If the job post specifies "NES" or "Native English Speaker", it typically means applicants are required to be from one of the following countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa. However, in some cases, this may indicate a preference rather than a strict requirement.
⏳ Due to the high number of applications the schools receive they may not be able to respond to every application. If you don't hear back from them within a week or so, it's best to move on to the next job.
⚠️ When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy anything which they then pay you back for later. NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. Scams in TEFL are rampant, be careful!
