A Guide to Getting TEFL Certified in Brazil

Locations

As the fifth largest country by area, it may seem hard to choose where to go to get TEFL certified in Brazil. There are many great options that offer different experiences based on their regions. But no matter where you end up, you will be met with an incredible Brazilian experience.

Rio de Janeiro. You will be standing tall and proud like Christ the Redeemer after receiving your TEFL certification in Rio. To offset all of the hard work you put into your TEFL certification in Brazil, Rio has many opportunities for relaxation—such as Copacabana—and adventure! You can spend your free time sipping drinks on the white sand beaches, or checking out the views from Corcovado and Sugarloaf Mountain.

São Paulo. As the most populous city in Brazil, São Paulo serves as a great destination for your TEFL certification. You can peruse the many museums, attend a street carnival, or eat copious amounts of rice and beans at pay-per-kilo restaurants. You will be in constant awe at the stunning street art you pass by everyday as you move through the city easily on the trains that connect one side of the city to the other. São Paulo will samba its way into your heart. 

Brasilia. Filled with white, modern architecture, Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, is another great destination for TEFL certifications. Although not a favorable city for walking, Brasilia offers a great chance for uncovering the facade of the architecture, which opens up travelers to a lively nightlife, all of the food to make your tummy happy, and a unique Brazilian experience. If you are willing to open yourself to Brasilia, Brasilia will open itself to you.

The 120-Hour Advanced TEFL Course was clear, structured, and easy to follow. I loved being able to study at my own pace around my schedule. A rewarding experience I’d recommend to anyone interested in teaching English abroad or online.
