10 Real Reasons to do a TEFL Course in Spain

TEFL Course in Spain - The time is now!


July and August are the best months to decide to make the step into sunshine by signing yourself up to a TEFL course in September here in Spain. It's the perfect time to start something new.

If you are a native English speaker or bilingual and you have an upbeat, positive attitude towards life then it's time to discover the teacher in you! Let us help you decide to jump into something wonderful and new with our 10 reasons to do a TEFL course in Spain.

 

1. ACQUIRE ONE OF THE MOST REWARDING PROFESSIONS, TEACHING


What is more rewarding than sharing your knowledge and helping to develop new skills in others?! Leave a mark in the heart of people you teach forever - they will never forget you!


2. IMPROVE YOUR CV


No matter what your background is, boost the credibility of your CV with a teaching qualification! Everyone appreciates that.

 

3. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND CHALLENGE YOURSELF


Break away from the daily grind of wherever you may be, and thrust yourself into something different. Carve a new future for yourself and open up doors that you didn´t know where there - a door to living in Spain or traveling the world with an exciting profession!

Give yourself a new set of skills and enjoy the rewards.

¨Never stop learning because life never stops teaching¨. 


4. TRAVEL THE WORLD


Make Spain your starting point. With a TEFL certification and guaranteed teaching skills, the world will have no limits for you. Having a TEFL qualification will give you the opportunity to work in big markets like Asia, Latin America, Western, Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean. Qualified and experienced teachers are welcomed everywhere!


5. GET ACQUAINTED WITH AN AMAZING CULTURE


Spain has one of the most distinctive cultures in the whole world. It’s well known for its year-long sunshine, beautiful beaches, lively festivals, sangría, paella and siestas! From the vibrant and lively beach City of Barcelona to the countrie's capital Madrid in Central Spain, the warm entrance to the Meditteranean in the south in Málaga to the edge of the Pyrenees Mountains and France in the north in Vitoria, you can enjoy all Spain has to offer in any of these TEFL locations.


6. LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE


Living in Spain = Learning real Spanish with real people! Spanish has 329 million native speakers and ranks as the world’s number 2 in terms of how many people speak it as their first language (the first being Chinese at 1.2 billion native speakers). In Oxbridge TEFL we even provide you with free Spanish classes weekly to help you reach your goals.


7. GAIN FINANCIAL BENEFITS


While having a great time enjoying all that Spain has to offer, you can make a living working as an English teacher to support yourself and enjoy all the new hobbies you´ll finally be able to take up - surfing, beach volleyball, roller blading at sunset, working on your tan poolside, drinks at the beach bar, big city nightlife, lots of festivals - you name it!


8. MAKE LOTS OF NEW FRIENDS


Every day you will meet new people, just like you and me, people wanting to learn new skills (our students) and people having the time of their lives showing them how (our teachers and you!). The market for English here is huge so there are plenty of international people from all around the world enjoying this experience and 46 million locals all waiting to meet you! The perfect opportunity to cross paths with future friends of tomorrow.


9. HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE


Obviously!
