RVF International

Since arriving in the southeast of Spain at the end of September, my experience teaching abroad has been nothing short of unforgettable. I came to teach English to students in Spain along with my sister. RVF International, who handled getting us set up in Spain and matching us with a school, made it easy for my sister and I to do everything together. We are both teaching at schools in Bigastro, Spain, even though we live in Torrevieja. The school and teachers have been friendly and patient, even though my Spanish isn't advanced. Plus, through living near the beach in Torrevieja and teaching beneath the mountains of Bigastro, I've been able to experience different scenery within the span of an hour bus ride. It has been a pleasure to absorb the best of Spanish culture, we even went to Madrid and saw genuine Flamenco dancers! My Spanish is improving, as well. I would certainly recommend RVF International to anyone looking for a unique way to make an impact while seeing the world from a different perspective.

I recently moved from Canada to Spain to teach abroad through RVF International, and all I can say is wow! It’s been just one month, and I’ve already made more memories and friends than I can count. Even before I arrived, the RVF team made the transition so much easier by guiding me through all the administrative details — from visa paperwork to housing tips. When I finally got here, I was placed at a wonderful school with a short, easy commute from my city. On top of that, I’ve found an amazing community of friends who make every day an adventure. My schedule is fantastic, and the work-life balance is exactly what I was hoping for when I decided to move abroad. I feel genuinely happy and fulfilled. In just a few weeks, I’ve already had the chance to travel to Valencia, Bilbao, Madrid, and Alicante, and I’m currently participating in RVF’s video challenge — hoping to win a trip to Morocco! I’m beyond excited for what’s ahead and can’t thank RVF enough for their ongoing support and for making my move abroad so smooth. If you’re thinking about teaching overseas, I highly recommend coming to Spain with RVF International — it’s been the experience of a lifetime! 🇪🇸✨

I requested a placement in Valencia, and ended up about an hour and a half south of the city. Originally I was disappointed but I found a city to live in that I love! My school is amazing and the teachers feel like family.
