Estonia - English Teaching Assistant Award

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Award in Estonia is a 9-month program designed to strengthen economic, security, and educational relationships between the United States and Estonia while advancing American values globally. ETAs are placed in classrooms at host institutions outside the capital to assist local English teachers and serve as US cultural ambassadors. This is an entry-level professional development opportunity where participants lead English conversation groups, provide small group tutorials, assist with reading and writing English, give presentations on American studies, organize cultural activities, and develop educational community programs in cooperation with the U.S. Embassy. The program runs from September 15, 2026 to June 15, 2027, with placements in regional Estonian cities such as Narva, Kuressaare, Viljandi, Pärnu, Kohtla-Järve, Sillamäe, and Valga. ETAs work approximately 20 hours per week and are expected to engage in supplementary projects related to their personal, professional, or academic interests during the grant period. The program includes a strong community service component with close collaboration with U.S. Embassy-run programs and initiatives.
