A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Argentina
Best Cities
Mountains, coasts, cities, and jungles, oh my! You name it, Argentina has it. It’ll be up to you to decide where you would like to focus your time in such a stunning and exciting country!
Buenos Aires is the hands-down top location for teaching English in Argentina. As the capital city, many business people are looking to learn English, and there are a plethora of private language schools. For teachers who want to live in a big city that offers dancing, music, theater, arts, sports, and other entertainment, Buenos Aires is an ideal destination. You’ll also find a good amount of other foreigners living in Buenos Aires.
Mendoza and Cordoba are locations that offer teaching jobs in Argentina in a smaller setting—you could check out towns such as Rosario, Bariloche, Tucuman, and Mar de Plata as well. These towns and cities have fewer opportunities than Buenos Aires; however, there are fewer individuals seeking ESL jobs in Argentina in these destinations. Depending on your location and lifestyle, smaller cities outside of the capital will also offer a lower cost of living than Buenos Aires.
Popular Job Types
Most of the teaching jobs in Argentina are English teaching jobs. The main times for hiring are February and March, as well as another round in July and August.
Local schools. In local schools, teachers will work with children or teenagers, either teaching their own classes or assisting local teachers. It is worth noting that the classroom culture in Argentina is very different than in the United States. In general, there is less structure, and punctuality is not as highly emphasized. Depending on the instruction students have experienced in the past, they might not know much English and could be very shy about speaking it. In some cases, the children may have only heard native English speakers in TV shows, songs, or movies.
Private institutions. Individuals who teach English abroad in Argentina at language institutes will work mostly with adults, many of whom are extremely motivated in learning the language. Classes at a private institute may have varying hours throughout the day and even take place on the weekends, since these are tailored for people who may already have full-time jobs or families. Expect to have some set hours but also be flexible in your schedule.
What Else You Need to Know
Salaries. While teaching in Argentina, you will find yourself in a “break even” scenario, meaning your monthly salary will be pretty close to your monthly expenses. Those who are incredibly frugal may be able to pocket a little money each month. As a teacher in Argentina you can expect to make between $700 to $900 per month.
Accommodations. Some teach abroad programs have housing built into their fees. Foreign teachers often live with other teachers in shared apartments; obtaining a long-term apartment can be challenging for foreigners as the owners may require a half-year payment up front. Living with a local roommate can be an excellent option, as you are not responsible for communicating with the landlord and you can pay rent month-to-month.
Visas. Most schools hire teachers on a tourist visa, but some will help their teachers obtain an official work visa. If you have a tourist visa, you will need to exit the country every three months to renew the visa, since there is a 90 day maximum.
Safety. Argentina is not particularly dangerous for those who keep their common sense about them. Avoid traveling alone at night, and keep a close eye on your personal possessions when in crowded areas.
GoAbroad’s Inside Scoop
Argentina is welcoming of foreigners, and teachers can live relatively comfortably on a local salary. However, landing a job in Argentina can be difficult. With a capital city that’s considered the Paris of South America, and a high volume of tourists and travelers who visit and decide they could live in Argentina, the teaching job market is competitive. However, with some flexibility and networking, it’s possible to find opportunities for teaching English in Argentina.
Working for private English schools can be a good way to balance earning an income while still having time to explore and travel, as you will give lessons for 20 to 25 hours per week. Be sure to understand the full process for getting paid from your employer—some institutes require a tax ID number or for you to get the check from a bank, which can be a process.
Some language schools require a TEFL certification for teaching in Argentina, so make sure you’re clear on whether or not you will need one before you jet off to your new home. Having a TEFL certificate can greatly increase your likelihood of getting hired for any teaching program in Argentina.

Loved it
February 13, 2026by: Hannah Stevens - United StatesI 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!
February 08, 2026by: Emily Ann Cooper - United StatesI’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.

An Unforgettable Experience at Buenos Aires TEFL Institute!
December 20, 2025by: Jack Matthews - United StatesI 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!
I had an amazing experience.
December 14, 2025by: Andrew Collin - United StatesThe 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.

December 14, 2025by: Andy Klarck - United StatesThis TEFL course in Buenos Aires was better than expected.

Three weeks volunteering in Siem Reap
August 11, 2025by: Olivia Aurora Lamassa - SwitzerlandProgram: Worlds #1 Volunteer Programs. 40+ Countries from $20/day!
I spent three weeks volunteering at Salariin Kampuchea Learning Center in Siem Reap, where I helped teach English to younger students and supported the development of their social media presence. It was one of the most enriching experiences I’ve ever had. Some days were more challenging than others—adapting to a new environment and finding ways to communicate across cultures. But what I’ll carry with me, more than anything, is the deep sense of connection I felt with the people. I can confidently say I’ve grown and learned so much, and that’s something I’ll always be grateful for. Living and working within the local community gave me a complete perspective shift. I was struck by their warmth and generosity, and the quiet strength with which they face life. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed. The children, the staff, and my host family made me feel included from the start, making it easy to feel at home throughout my time there
The most wholesome experience
March 26, 2025by: Ayshe Z Mercan - United KingdomProgram: Worlds #1 Volunteer Programs. 40+ Countries from $20/day!
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!

Massive thank you to everyone here
May 17, 2023by: Matt White - United StatesBuenos 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
May 14, 2023by: Ann Scott - United StatesThis 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.
