Hey I will be coming over to BA late December for about 2 months and would love to get involved in teaching English. Don’t really mind where or who I would be teaching i would just love the experience. I’m 22 and don’t have any qualifications although i am a University student who is articulate and i think i would be good at teaching.

Gracias, Alex

A good and thorough article, I also read one one here http://landingpadba.com/teaching-english-buenos-aires/ which is good too. Teaching English in BA is a great way to get to know the city, learn the language and get a different insight (whilst earning money!) than the usual tourist. I’d thoroughly recommend it if you can handle it!!

Most teachers have to supplement with private lessons on the side and branching out to find their own clients.

I’m teaching here in a language institute.

It not that easy to find work and between December and March it is difficult.

It’s expensive to gain a TEFL certificate so unless you are serious don’t do it. I’d say 80 per cent of my TEFL course left BA within 6 months of the course.

If you have to pay rent you will find it difficult if not impossible to get by on teaching wages.

BA is a facinating place but be warned.

Personally I wouldn’t call AR$20 an hour a ‘good’ salary here. Inflation really erodes your earnings, and rent is expensive.

“International businesses, hotels, restaurants, tour guides, and major shopping centers…”, so big the demand of English-speaking countries!

[...] Teaching English is a popular job for many expats living in Argentina. There is a great demand for learning English in Argentina due to an increased tourist industry, and a more globalized business market. The problem, as blogger Coog from Coogling Argentina writes, is that many students put too much emphasis on accent, don’t practice enough, and study because they have to, not because they want to. For many schools and businesses, learning English is a requirement, and with many native speaking teachers coming from all over the world, accents often vary. Coog insists that accent is less important than one thinks, and that practical usage, practice, and writing are tantamount to learning the language correctly. [...]
