Loved it

I was honestly so afraid of coming down to Buenos Aires at first, but it has completely paid off. Making the move from California felt like such a huge leap, but after spending 8 weeks here, I’m so glad I just went for it. I spent my first 6 weeks getting settled with Spanish classes, and it was the perfect way to adjust to the culture and find my rhythm. Taking the TEFL course in Buenos Aires right after my Spanish course was the best way to transition into local life. I was worried about the logistics of staying long-term, but the job placement works great and really took the stress out of finding a way to live here. Looking back, all that initial hesitation was for nothing because the support from the institute and the vibe of the city made everything click. If you're looking for a TEFL course in Buenos Aires and want a program that actually helps you build a life here, this is it—taking the plunge was the best thing I've ever done!

Unforgettable experience – The best way to start your life in Buenos Aires!

I’ll be honest, I was pretty hesitant to pull the trigger on a TEFL course in Buenos Aires at first. It felt like a massive leap, but looking back, it was easily one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. As a 23-year-old American arriving in Buenos Aires without knowing much about the city, I was naturally a bit nervous. However, the Buenos Aires TEFL Institute made the transition seamless. Here’s why I’d recommend it to anyone: Amazing Accommodations: I stayed for 8 weeks in their student housing, which is a stunning French vintage house right in the heart of downtown. It’s a safe, secure building, which was a huge relief for me. The Perfect Curriculum: I did 5 weeks of TEFL training followed by 3 weeks of Spanish classes to brush up on my skills. The balance was perfect. Built-in Community: Being part of a community right away was a lifesaver. I made lasting friendships with people from all over the world and never felt "alone" in a big city. Incredible Staff: The team here is super supportive. They genuinely care about your success and make you feel at home from day one. Job Placement: This part actually works! They proactively connect you with employers and provide the guidance you need to secure your first teaching job. I had the absolute best time here and feel so much more confident moving forward. Thanks for everything, guys! If you're on the fence—just do it.

I just completed my certification with the Buenos Aires TEFL Institute, and the entire experience was nothing short of amazing. If you’re thinking about teaching English abroad, this is the place to do it! My Highlights: Exceptional Staff: The instructors and support team are incredible. They are professional, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping you become a confident teacher. Immersive Atmosphere: Taking the course in the heart of Buenos Aires added so much flavor to the learning process. I had an amazing time exploring the city while gaining a new career. Practical Training: The curriculum was well-structured and hands-on, giving me the tools I actually need to lead a classroom. Top-Tier Support: From start to finish, the team made sure everyone felt supported, both academically and personally. Thank you to everyone at the institute for such a fantastic TEFL Course in Buenos Aires!

An Unforgettable Experience at Buenos Aires TEFL Institute!

I recently completed my certification at the Buenos Aires TEFL Institute, and it was an absolutely amazing experience—honestly, much better than I even imagined it would be. If you are considering this, keep in mind that the flight isn't cheap and Buenos Aires itself isn't a "budget" destination anymore, but I can say with 100% certainty that the experience is totally worth it. This was my first time visiting Argentina, and I am so glad I chose this program. One of the highlights for me was the teaching practicum. It was very important to me to get diverse experience, and this course delivered exactly that: I got to practice teaching with adults, teenagers, and children. Having that variety is so important for building confidence as an educator. Best of all, the course is fully in-person. In a world of online classes, having that face-to-face interaction is what we all really want. It makes a huge difference in how much you learn and how you connect with the culture. I loved every minute of it!

Andrew CollinUnited States · December 2025

I had an amazing experience.

The in person TEFL course here was fun, well organized and a great way to start life in Buenos Aires. The French style accommodation was beautiful, centrally located and felt very safe. The Spanish classes were practical and helped me improve fast, with plenty of chances to practice. Thank you for everything.

A great in person TEFL course in downtown Buenos Aires

This TEFL course in Buenos Aires was better than expected. The teaching team in Buenos Aires was incredibly supportive and I felt fully prepared to teach and live here.

Great start to TEFL teaching abroad

The course and work experience was engaging and really fun. I learnt loads and was also given lots of opportunities to practice Spanish.

The professors are all amazing, the material is presented in a logical and succinct manner with essay based exams and excellent English grammar explanations to ensure the concepts have been thoroughly embraced. The school is comfortable, the students are friendly and the location is perfect. From the teaching methods to classroom management to grammar, this course is amazing with lots of ideas for practical lesson plans, worksheets and the best methods to engage every student.

Massive thank you to everyone here

Buenos Aires TEFL Institute offers everything you would want in a TEFL school. I am so glad I chose Buenos Aires and this institute to complete the course.The Spanish classes were very useful also, they were in small groups. I feel I learnt a lot. What I loved about the program here is that you practice your teaching skills from week 2. It was my first time in Latin America and although this was daunting at first, you are fully supported by the tutors and this boosted my confidence in teaching English to native Spanish speakers, which is not as easy as I thought. By the end of the course, I felt I had learned so much and was super confident to teach English. The tutors continued to support me in creating my resume again and the school connected me with employers from Buenos Aires. Massive thank you to everyone here, you are all amazing!

TEFL

This TEFL course in Buenos Aires, Argentina has provided me with a life changing experience.It was my first time in the city of Buenos Aires which is huge and overwhelming...both!. I had never ventured out of the US and the provided accommodation was also a great experience for me. The school is run by women and they also help social organizations from Argentina and this was also important to me since giving back to the community was something I was really looking forward to. All the teachers will give you any advice you need. You are also provided with all the materials you will need both for the course and for teaching which is beyond useful. Overall, a great TEFL course with job placement and also the Spanish classes here were in small groups and very good. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to Teaching opportunities for their future, especially those with a knack for helping others.

I had such an incredible five weeks at Buenos Aires TEFL Institute, the course here is super useful and fun. We had fun everyday, I learned so much about my own native language, about English grammar, teaching theory, and how to be an effective English teacher. You were so friendly and helpful. Buenos Aires city is one of my favorite cities in the world. What a life-changing month, I can’t wait to come back to work in Argentina in the future!

TEFL certification in Argentina

Working with these TEFL Trainers was a pleasure. Caro and Flor are total rock stars. Starting a course is never simple, but when you have tutors like them, the courses are interesting and enjoyable. Now I know different methods of teaching English in class. I strongly advise taking them on as your tutors and recommending this course. I am quite pleased with myself for passing with so ease. The Spanish lessons here were also very useful. I could understand my Argentinian students better. Thank you for all your help with the course and with the job placement. You are amazing! Gracias!

It is challenging

Buenos Aires TEFL Institute is a small, dedicated company with brilliant instructors. It is an amazing TEFL Training School, especially for the value of the course. The program is very well-designed and full of useful content. It is challenging, you have to put in the work, which really tests you on the material. All support received was responsive and professional. I found my experience to be informative, insightful, and very useful regarding a career in teaching English as a second or foreign language. I absolutely recommend that you get TEFL certified with Buenos Aires TEFL. Great!

Valuable experience

Buenos Aires TEFL onsite class was truly valuable and an amazing experience. It is well worth it. Our trainer taught us ESL grammar points that most of us were needing refreshers on, ice breakers and game ideas that would work with all age groups, backgrounds and English language levels, and was very supportive. By the time we left, we felt confident in teaching and well practiced. I would sign up again in a heartbeat! It was a fun and very educational program! Thank you for everything. Highly recommended.
