A Guide to Teaching English in Argentina
Argentina has a relatively healthy TEFL jobs market and the demand for trained TEFL teachers seems to remain pretty constant. Most TEFL jobs are to be found in the capital Buenos Aires and it's usually a lot easier to find work once you're in the country.
TEFL Opportunities in Argentina
Most TEFL job opportunities focus on teaching business English and private tuition, rather than in state schools. There is also a growing demand for conversational English classes and therefore there are more opportunities for inexperienced TEFL teachers in Argentina than in many parts of Latin America.
TEFL Hotspots in Argentina
These are our top three TEFL destinations in Argentina. They're scattered across the country and each city offers a different insight into Argentine life, but they have one thing in common: there are opportunities for foreign teachers to find work teaching English.
TEFL Jobs in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is the largest and most developed TEFL jobs market in the country. It offers plentiful opportunities to teach English, especially for people with a reputable TEFL certificate and a little experience.
TEFL Jobs in Cordoba
Cordoba is home to much of Argentina's high-tech industry and where international commerce comes, English language teaching follows. It is not the largest TEFL jobs market in the world, but people with business English experience should be able to find well paid work.
TEFL Jobs in Rosario
Rosario has one of Argentina's fastest growing economic centers and offers ample opportunity for people looking for TEFL jobs in Argentina. It is also the birthplace of three of Argentina's most recognizable exports: the national flag, Che Guevara and Lionel Messi
Wages and Cost of Living
The average wage is about 2,000 to 3,000 pesos a month, which is around US$500 to US$760 a month. You'll pay around 12% tax on a teacher's wage and the cost of living is pretty low. The only exception to this is the cost of apartments in Buenos Aires, which can make a real dent in your wages.
