Teaching English in Buenos Aires
The Living
Buenos Aires is a
shopping paradise, for all tastes. Food is cheap and dominated by meat
– beef in particular. Pasta is surprisingly popular, as are other
European style foods. Beer is easily available, and Argentinian wines
are now making their mark on the international stage. Eating out is inexpensive
and increasingly varied, including Chinese and vegetarian restaurants.

The Teaching
Argentina has done
well in developing a large TEFL tradition over the last few years. The
recent economic problems have now started to stabilize, and this teaching
market is recovering well.
Business English is in big demand, particularly in Buenos Aires. Here
thousands of companies provide English lessons for their employees. Business
teaching is often in-house, so the teachers need to travel from company
to company. American-English is sometimes preferred, though opportunities
exist for qualified teachers from any native English-speaking background.
International language school chains have also arrived in Argentina, such
as the Wall Street Institute and Inlingua..
The number of hours of teaching a week on average are 10 - 20. You can
teach all levels and ages in Argentina from business women to orphans.
Due to the economical situation, it is difficult for many students to
buy English books or to get them from a public library. You will need
to give them challenging activities: using authentic materials, like English
newspapers, magazines, brochures, ads, etc. Children are growing up in
a country full of problems, and they question why they have to learn English
or why they have to study. Originality and enthusiasm are definitely needed
to make a connection.
