TEFL jobs in Argentina

The TEFL market in Argentina is buoyant but not booming, owing to a recession which started in 2016. Many schools can only offer part-time hours to their teachers, and so some expats have to piece together a schedule with hours at different institutes, alongside some freelance work. If you’re experienced and have a TEFL qualification, particularly a CELTA or higher qualification, it will be much easier to find a full-time position.

Regardless of what kind of work you’re looking for, expats usually find it easier to get a job once they’re actually in Argentina rather than applying from abroad. Peak hiring season in Argentina is February/ March, and the second peak in is July/August, as many schools offer 6-month contracts .

Where to find work in Argentina

Many expats say it’s easier to find a job once you’re already in Argentina, and as the 90-day tourist visa can easily be extended, this isn’t tricky to do. If you’re a young person from participating countries, you can also apply for a working holiday visa. Note that if you have a strong Australian accent, you might struggle to find work as this is an accent that the Argentinians particularly struggle with. Employers in Argentina like to interview face-to-face and will hire on the spot if they like you, so try to arrange your interviews close together if you want to choose between several positions. It’s common to have several different part-time jobs and take on one to one students in your free time.
