Teach in Latin America
Latin America is a distant destination that many will visit, but only a few will actually get the chance to live in this exotic paradise. The demand for English is soaring in Latin America and with The LA Job List, you'll have access to coveted teaching jobs at your fingertips. The casual lifestyle and low cost of living means that while you may not save a lot while working here, your salary will go a long way. Imagine only working 25 hours a week and still being able to go out to dinner, go dancing at a disco, listen to a live concert, or even dash off to another city over the weekend. Less teaching hours mean that you'll have plenty of time to explore the city, take language classes, volunteer, or just relax. Learn more about teaching in Latin America in Country by Country FAQ and the FAQ Latin America.

What's the LA Job List?
The LA Job List contains school listings for countries all over Latin America. There are five sets to choose from and various contact methods are listed so that you can start sending out your CV now. See the Sample Listing to see what the lists look like. Take a look at what other teachers have to say in the Reader Reviews section.

What's not included?
The LA Job List cannot guarantee you a job. Many factors, such as how long you will stay, your education, experience, knowledge of the English language, and schedule all influence employeers. While The LA Job List will give you access to contact details for schools across Latin America, it's up to you to pass the interview.

Please also keep in mind that Latin Americans stress personal contact, which means that employers will probably only offer you a job after they meet you. Employers often get emails from people who think about coming to Latin America and never show up, therefore employers are wary about offering jobs to people that they haven't had a personal interview with.

The good news is that through emails, you can make a good first impression. Make sure that your cover letter is tailored to the job. Don't just send out mass emails. You need to tailor your CV to teaching. And make sure that you come across in a professional matter, including in your spelling and punctuation. In your email, mention when you will be arriving and ask for an interview. Even if they don't respond. Be sure to follow up once you arrive, go to the institute and ask for an interview.

Lastly, remember that The LA Job List does not contain current job offers, but rather lists of schools. Here in Latin America, most English teaching jobs go unadvertised as many institutes constantly need teachers due to increased enrollment and classes.

Conferences and Training in Peru
Updated 31 March 2009
Teachers in Peru enjoy going to training events as they can learn about the latest techniques as well as meet other teachers. There are plenty of events to go to and you should try to go to a couple of a year. Although most of them are in Lima, there are a couple in the provinces.

Many teachers are also part of professional affiliations. These may offer newsletters or discounts to training sessions. They will also tell you about upcoming events. Try looking at the following for more information. Peru Teacher Network, Asociacion Peruana de Profesores de Ingles, The British Council’s ELTeCS, Sociedad de Profesores de Ingles del Peru, Perú-TESOL , Asociacion Nacional de Profesores de Idiomas (ANPI) and The British Council’s ELTeCS yahoo group.

There are places that offer training sessions throughout the year. Some of these are Universidad de Cesar Vallejo, APPI, Macmillan, Longman, Británico, and Camelot. The best thing to do is check on their websites and see when their next event is.


Training and Professional Affiliations
If you are in Lima, there are many congresses and conferences for you to attend. If you are in the provinces, there are opportunities to go to conferences, just not as many as in Lima. You could also attend short courses in Lima offered by Camelot Training Centre or Británico.

Peruvians stress training sessions, so your school may offer these free to their employees or insist that you attend their training sessions. If not, try to attend a conference, as it allows you to do some networking. Try to have a section on your CV that lists a few of the recent conferences that you have attended. You can read more about training sessions in the article, Conferences and Training in Peru. Information about the latest training information can be found at Peru Job Bulletin. In addition, there are quite a number of professional affiliations that you can join. Some offer discounts for conferences and others publish newsletters.

There are plenty of one month training courses out there, though not every institute will require one. Look at Is a TEFL Cert Necessary? for more info. Make sure the course has at least 120 teaching hours and 6 hours of teaching students. Your library is a good place to start researching about TEFLing. In addition, you can find plenty of resources online, such as The Peace Corps Guide . You could also try TEFL Boot Camp and more articles, tips and tricks can be found at TEFL Tips.

Getting a Good Paying Job

● Interested in teaching in Peru? See A Country Guide to TEFLing in Peru.
● TEFL Tips has useful tips for teachers from writing a teaching CV, to giving a demo lesson, learning the local language, short-term jobs, working holiday visas, getting a good paying job, teaching tips for the classroom and more.

Getting a Good Paying Job
Updated 24 February 2009

Although many will try to tell you that you'll never get a good paying job by teaching English, they're out there. It's just up to you to find them. If you're looking for jobs, find links for jobs in the Job Sites article.

● Nix chain schools. They usually have a high turnover and set levels, so it will be hard to find a good paying job here, In addition, you'll usually be working long hours for little pay.

● Get qualifications and experience. If you plan on making TEFL a career, the more experience and qualifications you can get, the better chance you'll have of getting a high paying teaching positions. And don't forget about attending congresses, workshops, and conferences. Getting articles published and giving workshops will also help.

● Ask for it. Institutes want great teachers. Although they usually offer teachers similar salaries, asking for a higher salary or more benefits is often to your advantage. Of course, you'll have to deserve it and be willing to give and take, but most places are willing to pay more to have a good teacher who will give their institute a good name and bring in students.

● Connections are key. Teachers move around and good jobs come up all the time, they're just not often advertised. By being in the know, you'll find out who's leaving and when to apply.

● Don't forget about benefits. Although some places don't want to pay more, they can make up for it in benefits. Long vacations, better teaching hours, gym membership, or language lessons are just a few benefits you could ask for if they're not willing to pay more.
