How to Teach Abroad in Spain
Prepare to Teach Abroad
Set goals
If you want to make the most of your teaching time in Spain, consider setting up some goals! Teaching goals can look pretty uniform or vastly different depending on the age you’re educating. A few basics could look like this:
- Build strong relationships and foster a positive learning environment. Make connections with other staff members as well as the students, and work on becoming a reliable peer and educator.
- Continuous growth enhances your teaching effectiveness. Focus on a specific element of professional development you’d like to know better during the school year.
- Cultural awareness enriches the educational experience for everyone. Take the time to understand more about Spain as a country, the people, and the culture, to serve the school and yourself better.
Understand the benefits
Teaching is an incredible career, full of incredibly rewarding benefits, including watching kids grow and learn. That’s not to say it’s an easy job—teachers all over the world have helped all of us into our careers. Some benefits of teaching in Spain are:
- Expand your professional skill set. Stretch your knowledge and classroom management style, and broaden your perspective to reach more students.
- Enjoy cultural advantages. It’s a perfect place to practice your language skills, learn to cook local foods, and enjoy the music, culture, and art of another country.
- Grow professionally. With experience teaching in a different country, your resume will stand out to employers.
- Living like a local. By seeing how locals live and adapting, you’ll be more present in your daily life.
Things to know
Whatever placement you have while teaching in Spain, there are some basics every teacher should know before heading there. Salaries
- Salaries. Teaching salaries in Spain rank among the highest globally for entry-level positions, with earnings varying by specialization.
- Accommodations. Long-term rental apartments, often furnished, are available, and choosing a place near a metro or public transportation will make commuting easier. Some placements may assist in finding housing.
- Visas. A visa is required, with terms varying by nationality. Check the GoAbroad embassy directory for specifics, along with any other necessary paperwork or insurance.
- Safety. Spain is generally safe for teachers, though pickpocketing and street crime exist. Staying informed about your area will enhance your travel experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Salaries for an entry-level teacher in Spain range from $350 to $1,800. However, various degrees are available, and you may earn more or less depending on your area of specialization.
Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville are the top destinations if you plan to teach abroad and experience Spanish culture, architecture, historic arts, and music. Wherever you go, you’ll find that every city in Spain has something new and more to discover.
If you have a Bachelor's Degree in English or education, you may be able to teach young adults and older Spaniards in universities. If you don't have one, there's a good chance you'll be teaching young children in elementary schools.
Most jobs require upper-intermediate to advanced Spanish skills, especially when teaching first-time English students. There are some teaching assistant positions where a basic understanding of Spanish is helpful, but not necessary.
To teach English in Spain, you need to obtain an accredited TEFL certification, secure a visa, and have at least basic to intermediate Spanish language skills.
