Highlights

TeachingChile is a recruitment and placement company, headquartered in Santiago, Chile. We provide full-service assistance for qualified applicants to receive an express-mailed job offer from a reputable Chilean school, visa processing arrangements, and preferred housing reservations, all of which are confirmed before the applicant boards the airplane to teach in Chile.

TeachingChile works closely with Chilean schools and universities, all with the common goal to advance the nation's working knowledge of English. We offer a number of teaching opportunities to work with students in three distinct categories: children ages 5 to 18 (grades Kindergarden-12), university level, and adult learners, based upon your interest and experience level.

The schools within the TeachingChile network are not seeking volunteers to work for free or for a small monthly stipend. Instead TeachingChile program participants receive a full monthly salary, directly from the school, comparable to what local Chilean teachers earn.

As a participant in our program, you will be complementing a major, multi-faceted program initiative established by Chile's Ministry of Education named "English Opens Doors". Additionally, with your participation in the local community you will be afforded opportunities to learn more about Chile's culture and the impact your contributions will have on its economy.
