Teaching English in Argentina: what is it, why should you do it and where should you go?

What is working and teaching English in Argentina?

  • Demand for teachers is high here, mostly for contracts of 9 to 12 months
  • It’s possible to get a job here without either a degree or a TEFL certificate. However, you’ll seriously dent your earning potential by not having a recognized TEFL qualification, especially for non-native English speakers.
  • If you can get a full-time contract, you’ll be teaching for 25 hours per week. However, it can be difficult to get enough hours and you may end up working for more than one school.
  • Many schools work on a split-shift pattern, with classes early in the morning and later in the evening, so you’ll have lots of spare time during the day.

Where can you work as an English teacher in Argentina?

  • Main TEFL regions: Buenos Aires, Mar del Plata, Mendoza, Córdoba, Santa Fe, Salta, La Plata and other smaller towns around the country
  • Type of teaching: in-company training and private language schools

What is your salary when teaching English in Argentina?

  • High inflation seems to be a repeating pattern in Argentina, salaries vary over time, and whether it will be sufficient to live from varies just as much.
  • Pay is commensurate with your qualifications and teaching experience
  • Your apartment will be by far your biggest expense as, other than that, the cost of living is low.
  • If you get a well-paid job, you should be able to save enough money to travel around Argentina in your spare time, but you won’t be taking much back home with you.
