Idioma Internacional has regular opportunities for TEFL qualified teachers. We handpick our staff members in order to maintain quality and professionalism throughout our entire organization. We are committed to offering great jobs and incentives in order to attract and keep the right people. Once a part of our organization, staff members become intimately connected to Idioma Internacional's core working values: performance excellence, professionalism and ethics.
We are always looking for qualified EFL/ESL instructors and welcome the opportunity to consider your application. If you possess all of the minimum qualifications listed below, then please send all of the following to us at the email address given on the job heading:

Our requirements for our teachers are:

Preferred: 1-2 years teaching experience
Preliminary job offers made after a telephone and video conference interview are conditional; a final, in-country interview is required to finalize the decision.
Once hired, teachers are provided with on-going training and monitoring to help them maintain their demonstrated level of excellence. Repeated failure to meet Idioma Internacional standards will result in the dismissal of the teacher.
Idioma Internacional students include professionals and prominent members of the business community. Thus teachers are expected to maintain appropriate standards of presentation and professionalism, which may be slightly more formal and conservative than generally associated with ESL teaching.
