Hi Is anytone out there able to share information on academic years. I am finding it difficult to find out dates or general months. I'm keen to teach in a few places such as Spain, Portugal, Brazil or China so information throughout the world would be great

HI I am considering going over to Portugal to teach. Anyone been that can give advice?

Late last September I moved to the north of Portugal to teach English. Now my contract is coming to an end, and I have nine months' solid experience to add to my three months spent working in Vietnam.

Group Description
Though frequently overlooked in favour of Spain, Portugal has an ever-growing market for EFL teachers. Demand is greatest in north and central Portugal, with jobs cropping up in historic centres such as Coimbra, Braga and Viseu and in small seaside towns like Aveiro and Póvoa do Varzim. Wages are generally low (€700-1,000 net per month) but the cost of living, at least outside the big cities, is reasonable. As with everywhere else in Europe, an EU passport is preferred.
