Hi, I've been teaching in Ecuador for a year now and I've loved it.  You don't earn loads unless you can get good hours. Sometimes I've been really broke but recently I've done well... now I'm coming home but I'd stay longer if Iberia hadn't bullied me into buying a return ticket by refusing to let me on the plane without one.  There aren't many schools that advertise online but out here there is plenty of work.  I'd recommend a private institution simply because the scools start at 7 am and the kids have never heard of discipline.  You might have to work around the visa restrictions, but it's easy, everyone manages somehow.  I'd say it's well worth the experience, it's a great country.

Hi there,

Congratulations on finishing your degree! Spain's a good option and we actually know of a school that's looking for teachers to start this summer. You can get more info here: http://www.onlinetefl.com/summer-camps.

South America's also great - although I wouldn't recommend Argentina as a first choice as it can be very expensive. I'd opt for Mexico myself as there are loads of jobs there. Have a chat with Jack, who's teaching out there at the minute, if you want any more info:

Good luck and if you have any more questions get in touch :) 

Hey everyone, Just finished a BA International Degree of Economcis and Spanish. I want go to South America or Spain to teach. I have searched various sites looking for work and have found alot of jobs in Spain. I lived in Madrid for a year and taught and would love to go back but would love to experience other places as well. Any body have any advice on how to get a job in South America? I was looking at Argentina and Chile as possible destinations but anywhere would be great. I have a friend in Mexico as well so that would aslo be an option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  :)
