A Guide to Earning TEFL Certification in Peru
Locations
Lima offers the most opportunities for TEFL certification in Peru, as well as for English teaching jobs. As a large metropolitan area of almost 8.5 million people, Lima offers convenience and amenities. The nearby beach is slightly rocky, but still a popular site for surfing and paragliding. Be aware that Peru’s capital also has a strong dichotomy between rich and poor; neighborhoods and schools may vary greatly even if they are right next to each other.
Cusco, the ancient capital of the Incas, is a strong second in terms of TEFL courses in Peru, with adventure and trekking opportunities available to compliment the TEFL program experience. Sitting at a high altitude and only about 50 miles from Machu Picchu, this city is a necessary stop for tourists, and because of this, many locals are looking to improve their English language skills. Earning a TEFL certificate in Cusco, will prepare you to teach english in Peru.
Aspiring English teachers will also find TEFL programs in Arequipa, known as the “White City” because of its stunning cathedral off the Plaza de Armas, it is encircled by mountains and volcanoes. Luckily, the beach is still close enough for a day trip and many tourists stop here to start a tour of Colca Canyon (the Grand Canyon of South America and Peru’s third most visited tourist destination).
Participants interested in a more rural experience while completing TEFL courses in Peru still have options too, and they will be guaranteed to not only expand their teaching skills but also their Spanish language skills.
