Teaching Jobs in Barcelona, Spain

It was very easy to go through the application process, complete all the steps, and be ready to volunteer in Costa Rica. All the support we received throughout the process made sure that we felt safe, prepared, and were making an impact on the local community. I would highly recommend IVHQ, and hope to do future volunteer missions with them.

I had an amazing experience with International Volunteer HQ in Ecuador. Everything was well organized from the beginning, and I felt supported throughout the entire program. The local team was welcoming, helpful, and always available when needed. I especially appreciated the opportunity to immerse myself in the local culture, meet wonderful people, and contribute through volunteering. It was an unforgettable experience, and I would definitely recommend IVHQ to anyone looking for a meaningful experience abroad.

I already had my heart set to get out of this boring desert (Arizona) and I just needed to figure out how and thanks to Shaun who followed up with me and provided me the support and encouragement I needed to make my first move and just go!!! So now I'm booked for September... España here I come!!

All the staff have been amazing and very helpful for me, they have helped me work through all the different options and helped me with all the application processes! Can't wait for my trip! Dave and Nicole have been especially helpful!

I loved the process. Everyone was so nice. Tai is amazing!!! This was such a pleasure to do. I am so happy that I chose to go with this company to Teach English abroad. I am so excited that I am moving forward with this adventure.

The initial week where we got to immerse in flamenco dance class, paella cooking class and Spanish Intro classes made the transition smooth, I feel like I've already made strong connections and I'm ready to begin my course!

My experience in Hua Hin teaching children was truly amazing. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported by a wonderful team. Special thanks to Hannah Yule, Tukkie Khudseesai, and Noah, the coordinator of my teaching team, who made the experience even more enjoyable and well organized. Teaching the children was incredibly rewarding, and the environment was positive, friendly, and motivating every day. The accommodation provided was very comfortable, and the food was also excellent throughout my stay. Overall, this was a memorable and enriching experience that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in volunteering and teaching in Hua Hin.

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 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!

I had the most amazing time at TEFL Iberia thanks to the highly knowledgeable and qualified teaching staff. The coordination staff were also equally amazing and supportive, and always there to answer any questions related to life and jobs in the Spanish-speaking world. The course was fun, dynamic and gave a real taste of life as an English language teacher! The provided accommodation was also fantastic - I couldn’t have been happier with it. 5 stars for TEFL Iberia!

The tutors were extremely helpful and the style education (to both the trainees and the students) was very engaging and meaningful. The facilities were great aswell. The water was drinkable. Mmmmmmmm

TEFL Iberia has forever changed me as educator. Prior to the program, I had taught English as a Second Language (ESL) in the US for 4 years. I was worried that the program might not be as useful for me as it would for a new teacher, but that feeling quickly faded. Not only did I gain experience teaching adults, but I learned so much about the English language in a few short weeks. The program coordinators and tutors are incredibly knowledgeable, accessible, and understanding. The facilities are beautifully maintained and host a comfortable working/learning environment. I was so thankful to have been setup with a host and living accommodations. Finally, the friendships that I have made with other participants in the program are those that will last a lifetime. Barcelona is magical, and I would do the program all over again in a heartbeat!

I did the tefl course through Tefl Iberia and highly recommend. The school location is right in the city centre with plenty around, the building it typical Spanish with the tiled flooring- you will feel like you are in Barcelona! I can't speak highly enough of all of the staff at the school, they were all so supportive and always available. Within the first week we were teaching our own classes! It was the prefect way to learn and when I got a job it was so helpful to already have had some experience.

Thanks Neroli! It was a pleasure having you with us! We wish you the best with all your future teaching endeavours. Good luck! TEFL Iberia Team

Some people would say that TEFL Iberia’s certification course is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I agree—however, I also think that’s an enormous understatement. Getting my TESOL certification in July of 2019 wasn’t just a once-in-a-lifetime experience: it was an experience whose impact will last a lifetime. The course opened up a world of possibilities for me—quite literally—and equipped me with the teaching skills, intercultural appreciation, and practical knowledge to seek them out. Surrounded by a diverse group of students genuinely engaged in and passionate about our work, supported by instructors equally invested in and enthusiastic about our success, my TESOL certification course was truly one of the most enriching, fulfilling, and enjoyable months of my life, one whose afterglow stays with me to this day.

TEFL Iberia is amazing!! Everything from the teachers to the location of the school. They help you with everything like housing and visas. The teachers are willing to help you around the clock so you are confident in your work and not stressed. Everyone that works at the school is great and goes the extra mile. I would highly recommend TEFL Iberia for anyone starting as a teacher.

TEFL Iberia is an outstanding course! From the outstanding and beyond helpful instructors to the amazing resources and learning environment I could not fault one thing about TEFL Iberia. We had class, lesson preparation and teaching practice most days which made it really intensive but I learned so much in a short space of time.

Tefl Iberia is such an incredible academy and I couldn't be happier with how my life has turned out living in Spain since finishing the course. The amount of support you receive from your tutors is beyond amazing, I was given the upmost attention and time and the team ensured that I was feeling confident throughout the whole duration of the course. Along with the incredible support, I was equipped with all the skills and knowledge to allow me to enter the real world as a confident ESL teacher. I was provided with job and CV support which had me landing a job just 2 weeks after graduating the course and I have had their continuous support ever since! The location of the school is perfect, the facilities are great and the people are even greater. I cannot recommend TEFL Iberia enough!

I volunteered along with my girlfriend to teach English at Emerging Voices in Cartagena, Colombia from Nov-Dec of 2019. The experience overall was amazing. We got to work with lots of different groups of people, from young children living in a poor neighborhood to teenagers learning skills related to the hospitality industry, to adults whose English was very good, but they just lacked the confidence to use it. I also enjoyed the ability to visit other projects at Emerging Voices such as the project to feed and spend time with the homeless and the sports development project that worked with kids living in a Drug Rehabilitation Centre. One of the highlights was definitely meeting all of the other volunteers. Programs like these bring out great people and we had a ton of fun hanging out with people coming from all over North America. My other highlight was definitely the food! Sophie was our local Colombian chef and she made the most amazing meals every day. I was always excited for mealtime! She also kept the house impeccably clean and even made our beds every day; what an amazing lady! I also enjoyed working with Monica who is the program owner. She is a very inspiring woman and a kind soul. We happened to be there during a transitional time for Emerging Voice so that meant we had lots of different volunteers, but also lots of different coordinators. We had three different teaching coordinators during our 4-week stay. One consistent throughout though was Lao. He worked with the childcare program, but he was the only constant in the volunteer house for the entire time that we were there and he made our experience that much better with his kindness and light-hearted nature. The last thing that I really enjoyed was the location of the volunteer house. It was located in the safe neighborhood of Crespo; it was only a 5-minute walk to the beach and only a 10-minute cab to downtown so it was truly perfect! All in it was an amazing experience and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to give back and also push themselves a little out of their comfort zone!

The CELTA course at Oxford TEFL in Barcelona was amazing. The program is well structured, very useful and interesting. The course is intensive but you get a lot of support from lovely tutors and other teachers. The careers service which the program offers is also really good. I would definitely recommend doing your CELTA course here. It is the perfect way to meet new people in a new city and to improve/develop your teaching skills. All the people at the school are very nice and inspiring and the atmosphere there is very supportive and positive.

I completed my CELTA course in December 2018 with Oxford House and I could not sing their praises high enough. Everything from the teachers and facilities to the material and structure was perfect. It is quite an intense course but there is a great sense of togetherness while going through it from both teachers and fellow students. With its central location Oxford House was excellently placed for all students to reach quite easily. I would highly recommend this course to anyone thinking of studying English teaching in Spain.
