Teaching Jobs in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Not only is Buenos Aires the largest city, its metropolitan area holds the largest portion of Argentina’s population. With high literacy rates, a sizeable population, and a focus on acquiring English language fluency, Buenos Aires is one of the best places to teach English in South America. In recent years, Argentina has struggled with their failing economy and debt crisis, and has therefore become increasingly aware of the importance of English in the global marketplace. As a result, there are an increasing number of opportunities to teach in Buenos Aires, from young students to professionals and even business executives.

The programme insured that whilst getting my teaching experience, I learnt loads about the history of the children in this area. It has been the most eye opening experience and I am so grateful to have been part of it, I will be back!! The team were super supportive and ensured we were safe at all times. This was my first time solo travelling and I felt confident to flourish and be adventurous in the beautiful South Africa!

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Buenos Aires

Teaching in Buenos Aires

Although past teaching experience is not necessarily required, some academic institutions do expect English teachers to have a TEFL or TESOL training certificate in order to teach abroad in Buenos Aires. It is no doubt that exciting teaching opportunities abound for those interested in teaching English in Buenos Aires. Although it may take up to four weeks of TEFL courses to obtain certification, once certification is completed TEFL program providers will typically assist teachers in finding English teaching jobs in Buenos Aires. Also worth mentioning, while the ability to speak Spanish is certainly helpful, it is not a prerequisite of teaching in Buenos Aires.

Although Buenos Aires employs local teachers too, most local teachers may not have the ability to work with the students to expand English language skills effectively. The most popular (and sometimes quickest) place to teach English in Buenos Aires is at a private English language institute, which are scattered throughout the city.

It is possible to teach other subjects besides teaching English in Buenos Aires, but you must first need to be licensed in your home country. There are both private and public schools in which you can obtain teaching jobs in Buenos Aires. However, due to the low funding provided to public schools, these students don’t usually have the option of learning subjects such as art or physical education.

On the other hand, private academies and international schools cater to the large expat population that lives in Buenos Aires, and therefore offer curriculum that is somewhat similar to the American school system. In these institutions, the opportunity to teach subjects beyond the basics, such as music and the fine arts, is easier to come by. It is also possible to teach in less formal settings, such as through nonprofit organizations or private tutoring.
