English as a Foreign Language Student Teaching/Practicum
Our teaching program accommodates teachers at every stage of their careers. It provides aspiring educators with immersive, hands-on classroom experience in a culturally diverse setting, accommodating the requirements of any certification program, such as TEFL/TESOL or a university student teaching program. We also serve seasoned teachers looking for a landing teacher onboarding role as they seek full-time employment within Colombia. The program can be as little as 30 days part-time or a semester-long full-time monitored process in conjunction with whatever hours verification requirements are requested. This opportunity allows student teachers to work alongside experienced educators in Colombia, gaining firsthand knowledge of local teaching methodologies, classroom management techniques, and student engagement strategies within a different educational system. The experience would emphasize practical application, requiring student teachers to design lesson plans, implement instructional methods, and adapt to varied learning styles while fostering meaningful connections with students and receiving mentorship from our senior educators.
