A few of the big chain schools, such as International House, have branches in Argentina; while Dave’s ESL Café has a good list of schools in the country. A quick Google search should find quite a few more. Most schools will only arrange an interview for your arrival in-country.
Can I find work while in-country?
This is the best option simply because so many other teachers do the same. Although it does happen, it’s rare for a school to offer you a job over the phone when there are so many native English speakers in country. You could either compile a list of language schools before you leave home, look in the Buenos Aires Herald, or ask around one you’ve arrived.
What is the usual hiring process?
Some of the bigger schools conduct interviews in English-speaking countries, but most will take place in Argentina upon your arrival.
Is a work visa required to find paid work in?
Yes, but most teachers work on visitor’s visa then leave and re-enter the country every three months. If you do want a work visa, you’ll have to set up a job before you leave home and get your employer to arrange it for you.
