May 21, 2025by: Kennedi George - United StatesProgram: Teach English in Spain with RVF
10

Moving to Spain to teach English has been one of the most life-changing things I’ve done—and RVF International made it possible. From the moment I applied, RVF was with me every step of the way. They helped me navigate the application process, walked me through the visa requirements (which can be overwhelming on your own), and always made me feel like I had someone in my corner. No question was too small, and no email went unanswered. I ended up placed in the beautiful region of Andalucía, where I’m teaching kids just 12 hours a week. The work-life balance is unmatched, and I’ve had the freedom to explore Spain, deepen my Spanish skills, and fully immerse myself in the culture. This experience has helped me grow not just as a teacher, but as a person. I’ve learned how to advocate for myself, adapt to new environments, and show up for others in ways I never expected. It’s also given me space to pursue my own goals—like preparing for grad school and working on personal projects. If you’re thinking about teaching abroad and don’t know where to start, I can’t recommend RVF International enough. They helped turn something that felt impossible into a reality—and for that, I’m so grateful.
