Baku, Azerbaijan’s modern capital, combines a medieval old town, modern Flame Towers that light up after dark, and a promenade stretching along the Caspian Sea. The city exudes attractiveness, shining under the endless blue skies, and oozes intriguing layers of history just waiting for you to unravel.
There are several reasons why you should visit Baku and put Azerbaijan on this year’s bucket list, but our cuisine is the number one: The fame of rich Azerbaijani cuisine has probably gone around the world and back several times.
It is most likely that you won’t have enough time to taste the whole variety of national dishes available, but nevertheless, this section will help you easily choose an appropriate style and venue to suit your taste. It should be noted that the capital will not only let you taste local dishes, but also dishes of other nationalities and countries. International franchises, authentic cafés, luxurious restaurants, open-air playgrounds, cozy wine bars and noisy pubs, along with other exciting locations will suit anyone who is ready to experience local delights, by getting to know local people through their sumptuous cuisine.
International TEFL Training Institute Baku is located in the Nasimi District of the city. The school is accommodated in a large, former university building with bright, large classrooms and hallways. There are ideal learning conditions for our TEFL trainees.
The classrooms are equipped with Interactive Whiteboards and have space for about 20 students. TEFL students learn to handle boards which they most likely encounter in modern classrooms around the world. This brings increased value to the TEFL course in Azerbaijan.Besides the classrooms, the school features a lunch area for students where they can get coffee or tea and snacks. Classes run from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm from Monday through Thursday and from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm on Fridays. There is a lunch break from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm Mondays through Thursdays.
After an initial week of theory study, the TEFL trainees start the daily teaching practice with Week 2 of the program.
The teaching practice with Azerbaijanis (adult learners) is followed by immediate feedback. The career support starts during Week 2. You will set up your resume/CV and send it to schools in your desired destination—whether in Azerbaijan or in other parts of the world.
Recognized for its excellence in teacher training, iTTi Baku was awarded the title of “Best iTTi Center of 2019.” This recognition highlights the center’s outstanding academic quality, professional support, and dedication to providing an exceptional learning experience for future English teachers.
Private international schools in Azerbaijan hire teachers for all levels, from early childhood to higher education, as the demand for English language education continues to grow steadily across the country. Over the past decade, Azerbaijan has placed strong emphasis on international communication and education, which has increased the need for qualified English teachers. Business English is particularly popular, as the nation continues its rapid development toward building a strong infrastructure and expanding as an industrial and commercial hub. This growing demand for English proficiency among professionals and students has made teaching English in Azerbaijan both rewarding and stable.
English teachers in Azerbaijan can expect competitive salaries, which vary depending on the school, city, and level of experience. Many schools offer comprehensive salary packages that include accommodation and health insurance. When housing is not included, a typical monthly salary for an English instructor is around €1,200 (approximately US$1,517 or £965). On average, about one-quarter of this amount is spent on rent for a small, furnished one-bedroom apartment. After regular living expenses and bills, teachers can usually save around €600 (US$758 or £483) per month — a solid saving potential considering the affordable cost of living in the country.In public schools, teachers generally work about 15 hours per week, with each class lasting 45 minutes. These positions often involve co-teaching with local Azerbaijani English instructors, which provides a great opportunity to exchange teaching methods and classroom strategies. This collaborative teaching approach allows both local and foreign educators to contribute to students’ language development in a dynamic, engaging way.
To qualify for teaching positions in international schools, candidates are usually required to hold a valid teaching license from their home country and have at least two years of professional teaching experience. A TESOL or TEFL certification is often requested for those teaching English as a foreign language, though it is not always mandatory. However, holding such certification increases employment opportunities and professional credibility. A bachelor’s degree in education or a related field is typically required to teach in Azerbaijan, especially at international or higher education institutions.
Overall, teaching English in Azerbaijan offers a unique opportunity to work in a rapidly developing country that values education, language learning, and international collaboration. With competitive pay, low living costs, and a culturally rich environment, English teachers can enjoy both professional growth and an enriching life experience while contributing to the educational development of a nation in transformation.
