Teaching Chile

TeachingChile is a recruitment and placement company headquartered in Santiago, Chile. We provide full-service assistance for qualified applicants to receive an express-mailed job offer from a reputable Chilean school, visa processing arrangements, and preferred housing reservations, all of which are confirmed before the applicant boards the airplane to teach in Chile.

TeachingChile works closely with Chilean schools and universities, all with the common goal to advance the nation's working knowledge of English. We offer a number of teaching opportunities to work with students in three distinct categories: children ages 5 to 18 (grades Kindergarden-12), university level, and adult learners, based upon your interest and experience level.

As a participant in our program, you will be complementing a major, multi-faceted program initiative established by Chile's Ministry of Education named "English Opens Doors". Additionally, with your participation in the local community you will be afforded opportunities to learn more about Chile's culture and the impact your contributions will have on its economy.

Shaped just like a chilli, Chile is a long, narrow strip of a country on the west coast of South America. It's also an awe-inspiring reminder of nature's power and beauty and one of very few countries where you can surf on the coast in the morning and ski in the mountains in the afternoon, so quickly does the land rise from the west coast to the high interior.

Chile is a hotspot for ecotourism, adventure sports and gastro-tourism: lovers of wine and food will delight here. From its deserted northern reaches to its icy and glacial south, Chile is packed with enough attractions to awe even the most jaded traveller.

We'll place you at a public or public-private school, in a university or within a language institute. In all cases you will be involved with preparing lessons, outside class activities such as an "English Club", creating instruction materials, grading and more. Your host teaching institution will provide an in-country orientation and institution-specific methodology training relevant to your assignment.

You'll receive three weeks of rent-free accommodation, after which we'll help you to find housing. Alternatively, you can choose to live with your host family near your assigned school or university, enriching your cultural experience. Your salary will be competitive to the wages that local Chilean teachers earn and sufficient for you to meet basic living costs at the local standard of living.
