Our ESL teaching interns are placed at local schools in Buenos Aires where they assist the English language staff and work directly with their students. This program is especially beneficial for future and current English or Spanish teachers as it provides invaluable classroom and language experience. Not only are you improving your teaching skills, you are providing an invaluable experience for a child learning English.

After you register for the program, we will ask that you submit a copy of your resume, including any previous teaching experience and language qualifications. We then confirm your ESL teaching internship and provide you with specific placement details. ESL teaching at high schools and elementary schools in available from March to mid-December.

Class is Monday-Friday, 3 hours/day, for a total of 60 hours of instruction/month. Program duration is 1 to 6 months.
