Switzerland

Switzerland is a peaceful and prosperous country with a highly skilled native labour force and low unemployment. As such, living expenses in Switzerland are the highest in Europe.

Jobs in Switzerland are available in state run (public) schools or private schools.  Many private institutes offer teaching work on a freelance basis. There are plenty of freelance teaching  jobs that are not advertised in local papers. The private schools are often contacted directly by teachers who want to apply for a job.
