To teach English in Colombia you need a TEFL or Celta Certification in most of the schools,  you can find bilingual education programs supported by the government.  People are friendly, the weather is nice (hot, warm, cold)and of course it is a beautiful country. You can enjoy it a lot.

I’ve been teaching for 2 years, and as I’ve found many difficult things in this path, I’ve found different ways to teach here!! When we teach in a regular school, we have to manage our classes to adapt for a mixed level class. Sometimes it’s important to explain the grammar in Portuguese to students who haven’t had contact with English!!
I just have my graduation in languages, licensed in English and Portuguese. But you’re payed better if you have a proficiency certification.
Here in Brazil you have to be ready for any kind of school with many different methodologies and their different kind of students!! Experience is the key to be successful here!!

ELT in Peru has become very demanded by a wide range of people of different ages. Especially young adults and adults that are aiming for international job opportunities, or studying abroad or even doing exchanging programmes. Not only does it allow SS to communicate with people all over thew world, but also empowers SS to aim higher and set a brighter future ahead of them.

teaching in mexico is a little hard because we are close to eeuu, and there are a lot of people come from there, and some times they don't let you do your work... In the other way live close to eeuu is great because you have families and friends living there so they can talk you about tradicional life in eeuu and open your mind to see how you can improve your lenguage....

I personally find it very challenging to teach in Costa Rica mainly because of the cultural differences and attitudes towards the teachers. Evidently, it highly depends on where you teach. Working with adults can be quite rewarding, but again, only if they come to classes driven by their own motivation and not because the (university) program requires. The most difficult is high school environment. It is hard to find young people who are independent learners. Most of the students and parents still hold teachers fully responsible for the learning outcomes.

Hi!  I've been teaching English for 3 years. It's challenging and interesting at the same time. since most of the student are accustom with traditional way of learning at school where they translate every single words in portuguese. since I'm foreign I speak with them in english all the time and let them understand it without translating on their mind. but, there are few students that you really have to adjust and try to explain it in portuguese, because not everybody here gives importance about learning other language. which is a little bit strange. speaking only portuguese is enough for some people. another shocking thing is I've met some people that works in travel business but don

Teaching and living in Mexico is amazing. It gives you plenty of time to do other activities and to have an easy and calm lifestyle. In order to work here, you need to prove your knowledge on the language and at least one document that proves you're qualified to teach. The only advice I'd give is: be patient, as students are very easy going, they arrive late, sometimes don't to homework. And sometimes burocracy sucks! The rest is fine

You have to use a lot of resources to teach English to motivate students. The level of English in our country is still very poor. Argentina is a beautiful country and students value a lot when a foreigner visits our country.

I´m training to become an English teacher. I´ve done some observations at primary school. As a learner I think it is important that teachers innovate the teaching methods, maybe here we are still more traditional. Also, it is important that teachers like their profession, because students can perceive it, and it transmits inspiration

# data[].attributes.body
Of course I love my country and I love teaching in my culture. I think not only teach English but also I teach values and I can contribute with the formation of the future generations. The best thing is that you have a lot of resources to create a great class. Most of the teachers use the traditional methods to teach so, you can improve that.

I only need to pass the course.

You need to be creative. And if you are a good teacher and you love your profession, it's important that you do not get discouraged. Because our educational system is traditional and sometimes it is hard  fighting against it.

Hello there! I'm not a teacher but I am serching for inspiration to become one. I do not have any experience with teaching but last couple of years I attended an English course in order to start my preparation towards my goal.
I had the opportunity to observe the behaviour of some teachers and there are some contributions:

What do you like about teaching and living there? I have to say that some Brazilians have this passion for learning English, others don't. They kind of hate it. The reason I think it's because many schools here try to shove the rules down student's throats. That is counter-productive and unfailingly will drive students towards overwhelmingness. That's one of the reasons I want to become a teacher. To share the passion I have to the language and to make them realise that learning English open lots of possibilities in many different aspects.

What qualifications do you need? I think you should be at least proficient in English in order to have the hability to transfer your knowledge properly.

What are your top tips for people who want to work there? Make the "art of teaching" fun and easy. And then little by little you move your students to a more challenging path in learning.

You can find many different issues depending on the context you will teach in. I live in a large town called Fortaleza, and I have been teaching English for the last 4 years. When I taught in small regular schools, I didn't find any parents worried about their children learning of the English language, they would just ignore it and focus on Math, Chemistry and Physics. In large schools, you can find more students and parents worried about really learning to speak the language, many parents themselves already speak English and value it. Schools often demand an academic degree in Languages or Education, but the small schools that I taught in weren't worried about that, there were some teachers there that hadn't any certification at all.

I've been teaching English to children, teenagers, and adults for over three years. Personally speaking, I love teaching because it's rewarding to see your learners' process and results. In Peru, English has become an important tool that every professional should have. However, there aren't as many opportunities to study English in a public school as in private schools or language centers.

I started teaching just this month. I was looking for an opportunity since last August. Brazil is in the middle of a big economic crisis and jobs are scarce. Unfortunately, the forecast is that this scenario will remain for sometime. I had yet no experience teaching and, of course, this put me at the end of the line. But I have a CAE and 20 years of experience in business. I don't want to discourage any one. I love my country and specially the city I live in. But I strongly recommend coming prepared to face some difficulty. Hopefully we will come around this economic crisis and there will be opportunity for everyone! ;-)

Hello I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina but I moved to Chile before seven years. I am working here 6 years for now. Teaching English-language was a challenge for me but also a very good experience. I've worked at Institute's as Universities too. I worked with children, teenagers and adults. It is very difficult sometimes for Chilean to learn English because they have this collective fear amof being exposed to jokes and bulling as well. So some people speak good another even don't like English so in that way is difficult but i like to live here. It is very beautiful place and the people are kind.

Nowadays in Peru English is taking importance. So that, the hours of teaching ENGLISH in many state schools had increased . Therefore many English teachers are high demanded. For teaching in public school is necessary to have a degree in education and have approved an exam. However in private institutions you just need your CAE or CPE certification.
Well, Peru is a nice country where foreigners are well received.

Hello, I have been teaching English in public and private schools; and English academics. In Colombia, if you will like to work in a school you have to think about your ability with students. In public schools, you will find 30 or 40 students who do not want to learn English but they have to do it. In the other hand, if you will work in private school, a number of students are better but some of them are proud.  Finally, in academics, you will find a distinction between Colombian teachers and native teachers because the native teacher will have a better position than us.

I've been working as a teacher for about 3 years. I've been working in private schools and English institutes. I recommend private schools because of the environment you have there and that students are more interested on learning a foreign language for their future than students at public schools.
To teach in Colombia it is necessary to have a degree in language teaching, and some schools require an international certification such as IELTS or TOEFL.
I love living in Colombia and working here, it is a great opportunity and government programs for bilingual education give a lot of opportunities to work here.

If you are planning to teach English in Paraguay, I would strongly recommend you to start teaching in the private field since most of the students have had the opportunity to start learning the target language since early childhood. Furthermore, private school generally care about this subject because it is an important part of their curriculum. On the other hand, teaching in public schools might be a real hard job because the English language is not well appreciated still as it should and it has just a few hours in the national curriculum.

Teach in Paraguay, a Real Challenge
Teaching English in Paraguay is a great challenge, because here in Paraguay we have two official languages that are Spanish and Guarani, and English would be a third language to be acquired.
The Paraguayans themselves already have two languages since birth, and a third or fourth with English, the Portuguese, is really a bit difficult, but not impossible.
The English language is taught in the last three years in school.
And in some university careers it is taught for six months as a maximum, but minimal vocabulary.

Being an English teacher at a Public School in Brazil is a challenge. You must have a Graduation in Portuguese/English. The problem is that Universities do not prepare you well to be an English Teacher. Other options are to be a teacher at English Schools that do not require a Graduation.

I really like my teaching job at a school where I've been for the last 27 years. I teach Senior High students and prepare them for the TOEFL exam which gives them ds of their level of English to continue with their university education.
At our school, we start building their vocabulary in English with our tiniest students that are 1 and half years old. It's a real joy to watch those kids learning vocabulary in 2 languages.

I´ve been working in public schools most of them elementary and now in an English program for adults and what I like of teaching here is that most of my students are interested in learning english because we are in touch with the language every day in most of the task that we do also they want to be able to communicate with their relatives that live in the United States and that keeps them motivated.
The certifications that you need to be able to teach here are at least the TOEFL exam and some other courses... I have a title of english education and also my TOEFL exam... The tips that I would like to share are to keep our students always motivated and talk to them all the time in english so they get used to listen, think, answer in english

I have been working as a private tutor for a number of years and I love it. Because of my shyness I´m not good at working with groups of students so teaching on a one-to-one basis has been a blessing to me.
At present public schools require teachers to have a university degree. Private schools usually require teachers to have an international certification such as TOEFL or First Certificate. With native English-speaking teachers that is not the case, they are more than welcome.
Peru is a developing country that has changed a lot in recent years. People are very hard-working and parents know the importance of a good education. If you come to wor here, you´ll taste the most delicious food in the world.

I love teaching in general because it's rewarding, I believe there's some teaching in every discipline.  As a learner, I did not like English at all, so now that I'm on the other side I love to listen to students saying they do not like English because it is my own challenge to change their perspective.
In Peru, you do not need special qualifications to teach English. Of course, there are some benefits if you have international certifications, but everything depends on the institution you work for.

I ended up teaching English on a private basis in Rio de Janeiro whilst on a sabbatical from a corporate career and fell in love with it. Brazilian people/students are so warm and friendly and fun, it really makes you enjoy the work. They appreciate your work so much. The appetite to learn English in Brazil is greater than other South American countries (I've been told) and it's obvious by the incredible number of English schools, there are loads!! If you are a native English speaker, like me, there is a lot of demand. I have moved here permanently now and continue to teach, improve my skills and enjoy life.

Many people studying English here in Chile are doing so because they want to be able to talk to others in other countries because of business reasons, or to boost their skills and career prospects. The challenge is to keep them on track as many students are extremely busy in their jobs. Having a TEFL helps, and CELTA is widely recognized. Many teachers here work at more than one school, and/or give private lessons. Of course, the natural beauty of Chile is world famous!

Being a teacher in Brazil can be challenging and lovely at the same time. But brazilian students are hardworking and we have good schools to work, which provide lots of resources and tools for teachers to work with. Problems are here as in many other places, but freedom is one of the spices that let teaching in Brazil sounds more delightful. About the requirements to be a teacher here, it is good that new teachers show some qualification and an international certification or a Celta is highly regarded. Brazil is a great place to live and brazilians are friendly and nice people.
