A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Madrid
What Else You Need to Know
Madrid is a huge urban area with many different types of educational institutions, so there are plentiful opportunities to teach abroad in Madrid.
Public schools vs. universities vs. tutoring centers. Individuals can teach English in Madrid at a private academy, international school, or language school most easily.
Short-term vs. long-term and job structure. Generally Spanish schools prefer hiring from within the European Union to avoid visa restriction complications, but there are still many programs out there that will help you bypass this process. The Spanish Ministry of Education itself runs a government sponsored program which provides fluent English speakers from North America the opportunity to temporarily teach in Madrid though. However, there are options for longer-term placements.
Teaching English vs. teaching other subjects. It is most common for foreign educators to teach English as a second language in Madrid, and within this field there are many routes you can go with. There are also teaching jobs in Madrid within other subject fields, if you do not desire to teach English abroad. If you are fluent in Spanish, then this opens up a whole new realm of possible teaching jobs in Madrid, such as those in teaching math, science, and history.
Frequently Asked Questions
The benefits of teaching in Spain go beyond gaining work experience in an international setting. You also have plenty of opportunities to experience unique traditions and cultures and enjoy world-class Spanish cuisine. And don’t forget fun trips to beautiful destinations throughout Spain and other European countries.
The best first step to become an English teacher in Madrid is to decide where you want to teach. This way, you’ll know what are required and how you can prepare for the role. For example, most schools in Spain ask for at least a 120-hour TEFL certificate from an accredited provider. Then, use an online platform to search for teaching placements in Madrid and throughout the country.
If you don’t have an EU passport, you’ll definitely need a work visa to teach English in Spain. You could also secure a student or working holiday visa rather than a work visa—it all depends on your citizenship. If you’re from the US or Canada, you can work under a government-led language and cultural program in Spain.
The average monthly salary of full-time TEFL teachers in Madrid is €1,500 (estimated $1,644). This income might have a small difference against the cost of living in a big city, including rent and daily expenses. However, you’ll still earn enough to make the most of your stay and enjoy the good life in Madrid.
Rent in Spain varies depending on your location. In Madrid, monthly rent starts at around €794 in simple neighborhoods and €1,180 in upscale areas. Large, cosmopolitan cities in Spain generally have more expensive rental prices than in smaller towns. The good news is that the cost of living is significantly lower than in other European countries, yet still offers a high standard of living.
