Teaching Jobs in Colombia

With 27 years of experience in English language education, I bring a strong background in international curricula, including the IB Diploma Programme and MYP, as well as expertise in Cambridge English assessment as a Speaking Examiner. Throughout my career, I have been committed to academic excellence, inclusive education, and student-centred learning. My postgraduate studies in educational and developmental needs have further strengthened my ability to support diverse learners and promote meaningful academic progress. I am now seeking an opportunity to contribute my experience, collaborative approach, and commitment to educational innovation in a dynamic international school, while taking on greater academic leadership responsibilities.

I did my TEFL course with the intention of traveling while earning money by teaching English for a year. Although I don't have a degree, I was lucky to find a job teaching in English in Chengdu, China. It was such an amazing experience learning about a new culture, surviving the first months without google based apps and my new environment. Chengdu is a great city and everything was very convenient, especially when you have opened a bank account and get apps like didi (taxi service), taebao (shopping online), alipay (where you can unlock bicycles and pay everything) as well as wechat pay. The transportation systems (metro train and busses) are also very easy to figure out and cheap. What I liked most about this city was how safe it was. The English institute where I taught English was also such a great experience. I had amazing co-workers, Chinese staff and managers I worked with. Everyone is always ready to help out and the Chinese people are very hospitable. Ofcourse there were ups and downs just like in any work environment but the people and living style pays off for any bad that pops up. I made a lot of life long friends and keep in touch with my students till today. I ended up staying for 2 and a half years and it will be an experience I will remember forever.

I've always wanted to live in Asia, but that meant needing a job. I'm not a teacher by trade, but with a degree and some childcare experience I was able to teach. I took the online TEFL course and through their jobs contact, found a few options and countries to teach in. It is not glamorous or easy work, but it is an experience if you're open minded. It's still tough to find things to do in the local community if you're not fluent or if you don't gel with other foriegn teachers. For me the job was secondary to living in Asia. Jobs are available with openings for variety levels of experience and good contacts to help you through the process. It isn't like living at home, but locals are happy to see a foreigner.

I was a bit scared about packing up my whole life to come to the other side of the world but it really has been the best decision I've made so far. The program I chose has people that are committed to helping me succeed as teacher during my year here and the work/life balance is great

After completing the master TEFL course with TEFL Graduate I immediately got an interview for a position in China. I have been teaching English for 5 months and I'm looking forward to making them 5 years.

TEFL Graduate placed me at one of the leading teaching centres in China. My centre was located in one of the 4 major cities in China in a very attractive location that provided me not only a great workplace, but a great living place as well. Carlos kept checking up on me and provided me with constant support along the way.

I was placed in Yuanping, Shanxi province. Small town with a Big Heart. My colleagues and neighbours became friends for life. The town is a jewel between beautiful mountain and warm spring spas in the area. People embraced me, invited me to their homes and took me to interesting places. I can really recommend the experience!

Im am currently still living in China and love it. The work schedule gives you a lot of time off to travel and explore the rest of the country! And if you’re not interested in travelling, saving money is the easiest task - the cost of living is very cheap! With lots of friends near and local attractions it’s easy to save and still have a good time! Don’t hesitate to try this experience, it will be worth it!

Culturally different from most western countries, china is unique in it's own way. I've been in China for almost two months now, and it already feels like 2 years. Haha. I enjoy the local foods, culture, people of Hangzhou city, and my working staff. Shout out to Carlos of TEFL graduates who assisted me on getting the job here in Hangzhou.
