How to Teach in Argentina
The beautiful, cosmopolitan and European styled-city of Buenos Aires is as manic as it is vibrant. A great place for any person to rest for a while (or a year!), the wide streets are home to cafe culture, top-notch shopping, and dangerous traffic!
While Cordoba and Rosario have good TEFL opportunities, the grand capital city Buenos Aires has the most developed market for teachers. If you aren’t yet qualified, some TEFL companies hold monthly TEFL courses in Argentina.
Teaching in Argentina FAQ
Visa and Education Requirements
Most recruiters will require a TEFL certification. Being a native English speaker and holding a bachelor’s degree is also beneficial, but not essential for gaining employment.
Do I need to Speak Portuguese?
No, EFL teachers do not have to speak Spanish, but it will help you when job hunting and also when living here. Browse language schools in Argentina for classes.
Activities and Free Time
In your free time, explore Argentina’s rich and intoxicating cultural diversity. Part Latin American, part European, discover the country’s melting pot of cultural roots. Must-see Argentinian natural wonders include the unforgettable Iguazú falls, Patagonia’s Perito Moreno Glacier and awe-inspiring Andean peaks near Mendoza and San Juan that rise 6000m above sea level.
Argentina’s cultural diversity is matched by the feast of geographical variety it offers curious travellers: from rich wetlands, glacial lakes and mountains to forests, salt flats and deserts. Animal lovers are also drawn to the country’s nearly 3,000,000km², home to the likes of penguins, flamingos, caimans and capybaras.
Given that Argentineans are famously fanatic about football, soaking up the atmosphere at a match can also be a very memorable experience when working in Argentina.
