About Me

I'm a relatively new teacher, currently based in Madrid, and teaching a combination of private students and a couple through an academy. It's been a real learning curve - for all of us!

Spanish Adventures!

I did an interview with i-to-i recently about teaching in Spain and thought I'd share the answers on here to encourage others to take the plunge and have the adventure of a lifetime! Why did you decide to start teaching English? After nearly 20 years as a civil servant, I realised that I was entirely unfulfilled and was looking for a challenge.

I finished the on-line TEFL course recently.  I'll probably just go teach English in Armenia since I am part Armenian and have been there twice.  However, my niece visited Spain a few years ago and she absolutely loved it, so who knows, maybe I'll go there someday too.  Good luck!

Hi,


I was just wondering if you know of any EFL jobs in Spain starting in the Fall. I've taught for the last year in China and am hoping that my next contract is somewhere in Europe. Any advice/recommendations would be appreciated.


Thanks,


Anna

Hello, I have recently moved to spain and would like to get a tefl certification via online course. could you please suggest me how to go about it and the cost ?

Any ideas on where to start in looking for a job from June onwards? Any advice or contacts would be great.

Hi there, hope you dont mind me messaging..Laura suggested I contact you. My family and I intend to pack up and move to Spain next July, I am a trained nurse but after looking at nursing abroad I have been put off by the comments. I plan to do the TEFL course classroom and 100hrs. I would be grateful for any advice you could give me!


Thanks Meg x

Hi can you please give me some advice about teaching private lessons in Spain.


I.e. what requirements etc.

Hi


I am brand new too tefl... i currently volunteer at a primary school; i am looking to do a tefl course but unsure which one! I would not be looking to do it for a few months but just want some advice on getting work in Spain. Do you need a degree too get work? thanks lauren

Hi!

I am brand new at this TEFL job search thing, and I would appreciate all of your feedback on how you got to interview with i-to-i and how you applied.  I have the number to call the job placement office, and that is a start.  Please keep in touch!

Hi from Madrid! 9 months in, teaching going well though getting students here isn't easy. But hey, it's meant to be an adventure, right?!
