Teach English in South America

You won’t need to look at the map to see that you are in South America; you’ll hear that you are! The continent is an explosion of sound and colour that will hit you as hard as the heat when you step off the plane. Teaching English in South America is one of the best ways of getting to grips with this continent. We have a range of options for those who want to teach English in South America, all of which are more accessible to those with a TEFL certification. The good news is we include one free when you volunteer to teach English with us.

South America Travel

South America is becoming more and more popular with travellers, but for now most of the continent remains untrampled! Countries like Peru and Brazil attract huge numbers of people to see their sights but very often they don’t venture into the rest of the country let alone Honduras, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Argentina. Teaching English in South America allows you to experience a wide range of cultures, countries and people, all undiluted by tour guides, hotels and holiday brochures. What you’re left with is the real South America and a bunch of memories that will last a lot longer than the sun tan. This continent is an all-out assault on the senses and teaching English in South America is one of the best ways of seeing it all. Don’t forget we also include our free TEFL certification to help you prepare.

If you’re excited about teaching English in South America you may also want to consider the other teaching projects we work with in Africa and Asia in countries like Kenya, Uganda, Vietnam and India.
