ABOUT OUR INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME
Do you want to live and teach English in Spain in a region hugging the Mediterranean coast? A place with the most dazzling architecture in the world and where food is so rich the air is infused with its scent? Come teach English in Spain and enjoy your new life making friends and catching the sunset with rooftop tapas.
You will be placed in beachy Catalonia, a fantastic location to serve as the backdrop of your epic life abroad. Chockful of culture, cathedrals, plazas, and churros, this province allows for a truly immersive experience without sacrificing comfort. Do you know that there is more than one official language in Spain? For example, Catalan is widely spoken in Catalonia!
Just a short hop south and you’ll find yourself in the cultural hub of Valencia. This region has some of the best and craziest festivals in all of Spain. Make sure to mark March on your calendar for Las Fallas, a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage.
Stand in awe of 30 ft high floats parading through the city while everyone parties on the streets. On the fifth day, the real spark happens, but we’ll let you see it for yourself.
In addition to three perfect months in Spain, you’ll complete the 120-hour Premier TEFL Certificate plus specialist micro-credentials AND an in-depth Spanish culture course so that you can act like a local from day one. These have been created to provide you with real, comprehensive knowledge of everything you need to become a confident, influential TEFL teacher — in Spain and beyond!
Our dedicated team in Spain are on-hand to give you professional support 24/7. What’s more, your host family will take you under their wing and make you feel like a local. You won’t find a more immersive experience, we promise you.
Teaching abroad in Spain is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but we have a hunch you’ll come back again and again. Life here is just too good!

outside the class room
By living with a local family rather than other travellers, you have a real opportunity to get an authentic, first-hand cultural experience when outside of the classroom.
Living with a host family provides support in a safe environment and gives everyone the opportunity to practice and improve their language skills. You’ll help the whole family learn and practice English in the relaxing, low pressured atmosphere of the family home!
Your teaching experience
You will take on the role of teaching assistant, working in teams of teachers to improve the conversational level of each student. Following a curriculum will help you to draw up lesson plans. But there is plenty of space to infuse your own creativity into the lessons.
Why not teach your students about the country and culture you come from? Or teach English through song and games. Placements vary from Spanish infant, primary, secondary, and technical colleges in Catalonia. Teachers can usually expect to teach children from early ages to 18. Your week typically runs on weekdays, with 20 hours of classroom time. This allows plenty of time for lesson planning and any extracurricular activities.
