Whether it’s taking the TEFL in Chile, working
as an English teacher, or enjoying the diverse geography
and outdoor beauty, you will be enamored with Chile. The
TEFL course is in the capital, Santiago, a city of five
million people, and the hub for all business development
that has made Chile the leading country in growth and
economic stability in Latin America since the early 1990s.
Chile stands out for being an easy country to find English
teaching work and obtain a visa. Chile, along with Sweden,
has made it a goal that the next working generation of
Chileans be fluent in English.
Most ESL teachers in Chile work at private language schools
with business students, or at one of the many English/bilingual
primary or secondary schools. Often teachers work for
more than one company to get full-time hours.
The basic necessities in Chile, from food to rent, are
quite inexpensive. A teaching salary goes a long way.
Santiago itself is situated in Chile’s central
wine country, and is sandwiched between the Pacific Ocean
and the Andes, both of which are a bit more than an hour
from the city. Within a day’s travel, you can reach
the Chile’s rain forest and lake region to the south
or the Atacama Desert – the world’s driest
– in the north.
Outdoor enthusiasts find Chile a dream come true. Chile
has world renowned skiing, fly fishing, surfing, mountaineering,
kayaking and white-water rafting, and rock climbing. You
name it, Chile has it. Come check it out.
