Overview

Do you want to live and teach English in Spain in a region hugging the Mediterranean coast? A place with the most dazzling architecture in the world and where food is so rich the air is infused with its scent? Come teach English in Spain and enjoy your new life making friends and catching the sunset with rooftop tapas.

You will be placed in beachy Catalonia, a fantastic location to serve as the backdrop of your epic life abroad. Chockful of culture, cathedrals, plazas, and churros, this province allows for a truly immersive experience without sacrificing comfort. Do you know that there is more than one official language in Spain? For example, Catalan is widely spoken in Catalonia!

Just a short hop south and you’ll find yourself in the cultural hub of Valencia. This region has some of the best and craziest festivals in all of Spain. Make sure to mark March on your calendar for Las Fallas, a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage.

Stand in awe of 30 ft high floats parading through the city while everyone parties on the streets. On the fifth day, the real spark happens, but we’ll let you see it for yourself.

In addition to three perfect months in Spain, you’ll complete the 120 Hour Advanced International TEFL Course plus specialist micro-credentials AND an in-depth Spanish culture course so that you can act like a local from day one. These have been created to provide you with real, comprehensive knowledge of everything you need to become a confident, influential TEFL teacher — in Spain and beyond!

Our dedicated team in Spain are on-hand to give you professional support 24/7. What’s more, your host family will take you under their wing and make you feel like a local. You won’t find a more immersive experience, we promise you.

Teaching abroad in Spain is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but we have a hunch you’ll come back again and again. Life here is just too good!
