ASQ International is seeking a talented and dedicated English Teacher to join an English and Literature department at the High/Secondary School level. This position offers the opportunity to deliver engaging lessons across the UK IGCSE, GCSE, and International Baccalaureate frameworks.

Overview

Living in Cairo offers a unique blend of ancient heritage and modern urban life. As the capital of Egypt and one of the largest cities in Africa, it is a bustling metropolis with over 20 million residents. The city sits along the Nile River and serves as the cultural, political, and economic heart of the country. Expats often find Cairo appealing for its affordable cost of living, vibrant social scene, and rich historical landmarks, from the Pyramids of Giza to Islamic architecture and lively bazaars. While the city’s energy and diversity create a welcoming environment, newcomers should also be prepared for the challenges of traffic congestion and a fast-paced lifestyle. Overall, Cairo provides a dynamic setting where tradition and modernity coexist, making it an exciting place to live and work
