We believe that one year of experience abroad is worth 5 years of experience in any other type of activity. Our EFL posts are given out at a centrally-located, up-market school located in the heart of Madrid in a 19th century palace. Based on your qualifications and a personal interview you will be guaranteed a spot even if you haven't experience in the field.

You have two choices:
A) Spanish Course + EFL Certificate Training Program (2.5 months to 6 months)
B) Spanish Course + Paid EFL Internship (4 - 6 months)

All candidates begin with an intensive Spanish language classes for 2 weeks (40 lessons) to help you adapt, followed by an internship with 40 hours of in-class shadowing and 4 or 5 workshops on EFL teaching methodology. After this initial training period you are evaluated and either continue with another training session or go into a teaching post with 60% salary (gross 488 euros/month).

After the first 3 months you can opt for re-evaluation and if you pass, go into a 100 % salaried position (approx. 800 euros/month gross).

We are not an employment agency but our posts are often a stepping stone to employment with this firm and a way to ease oneself into living in Europe.

The posts are open to either fully-qualified and experienced EFL teachers or students wishing to gain crucial experience in the field. The conditions vary according to your qualifications, talents and experience. You need not be a native speaker, nor speak Spanish to apply.
