Teaching Jobs in Ecuador

Ecuador, tucked against the Northeast side of South America and straddling the equator, offers a variety of geographic regions, from the Amazon to the Andes. From the Galapagos Islands to the rugged coastlines, the historic city center of Quito, and some of world’s richest array of wildlife species, teaching in Ecuador will be inspiring in more ways than one! The adoption of the U.S. dollar as the national currency, consistent trade with North America, and the growth of English speaking schools and universities, have all fueled the growth of English teaching jobs in Ecuador.

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Ecuador

Locations

Quito is the chief destination for tourists in Ecuador. Spanish language students, study abroad university students, voluntourists, and adventure travelers all head to Quito before exploring the rest of the county. As a result of increasing numbers of foreign tourists in the capital, individuals working in fields of tourism, hotel and restaurant management, or hospitality in Quito all seek to improve their English language skills. Quito is a great place to teach in Ecuador, from the milder climate thanks to the city’s altitude to Incan ruins to modern hotels.

Guayaquil is another solid location to find teaching jobs in Ecuador. Once a rough and industrial port city, Guayaquil has undergone a renaissance in recent years. It is home to several universities, an international school, and Blue Hill College, an English language university, which provide varied opportunities to teach in Guayaquil.

Rural villages, Cuenca, and the Galapagos Islands also provide teaching opportunities for volunteer teachers. These more rural based positions teaching in Ecuador are often more difficult to secure from abroad unless offered through a program provider.

Three weeks volunteering in Siem Reap

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
