TEFL Training Center
 |
Completely renovated in 2008, our spacious TEFL training center in Buenos Aires offers first-class facilities in a historic part of town. There are two fully equipped classrooms for the use of our TEFL classes, a comfortable work area for planning lessons, a small computer lab, as well as free WiFi. There is also a patio for coffee breaks and a terrace for the occasional asado (BBQ).
The training center is located in San Telmo, one of the most traditional and picturesque neighborhoods in Buenos Aires. Within walking distance are the many restaurants, bars, and cafés that make San Telmo popular with tourists and locals alike. Also within walking distance is the famous Plaza Dorrego where you will always find something interesting going on. For trips further afield, there is excellent public transportation in the city including trains, subways, buses, and even ferries to neighboring Uruguay.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
The capital of the largest Spanish-speaking country on the continent, Buenos Aires is a bustling city of over 9 million people. Its French-style architecture, Italian heritage, and general cultural sophistication give it a distinctly elegant feel, earning it the nickname “The Paris of South America.” Add to that a vibrant populace, a nightlife that never stops, and shopping and dining galore, and it’s hard to imagine a more enjoyable city than Buenos Aires.
Buenos Aires continues to be one of our most popular TEFL course locations—and there’s no lack of reasons why. The city is renowned internationally for world-class soccer teams, thriving tango culture, scrumptious cuisine (especially beef), and, more recently, for amazingly affordable prices. It would take you a lifetime to experience the sights and sounds the city has to offer. But after getting certified to teach English in Argentina, you may just want to stick around and give it a try!
Teaching English in Argentina
 |
Argentina benefits from a highly literate populace which places a premium on education—including English language instruction. Once among the wealthiest countries in South America, Argentina has had its fair share of economic woes in recent years. The good news is that since 2002 the economy has grown, poverty has declined, and there has been a strong rebound of the middle class. As the nation forges ahead, more and more people are realizing the importance of—and are able to afford—English language classes.
Almost half of Argentina’s population lives in the province of Buenos Aires, and many of the nation’s English teaching jobs can be found there. As a TEFL teacher in Buenos Aires, you will likely find the most work teaching English to professionals and business executives. However, you may also have the opportunity to tutor students studying for exams, families preparing for a trip abroad, or others looking to improve their English skills. |

“I absolutely loved my experience with BridgeTEFL! I took the four-week course in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I had a great time learning from [my instructor]—he has a wonderful sense of humor and was very helpful when it came to getting to know the city. I always looked forward to the afternoon when we had our teaching practice; there was always a nice sized class full of students of various speaking abilities. It greatly prepared me for what I would encounter when I started teaching.
“Within a week of completing my TEFL course, I had various job interviews. This was all thanks to the job liaison provided to me by BridgeTEFL. I took a job with a language institute and worked for them for the entire duration of my stay in Buenos Aires. I worked for them during the day while teaching private lessons at night. Because of my work, I was able to see tons of the city and meet lots of people. It was a wonderful experience and I thank BridgeTEFL for being a great contributor to my experience!”

| "The TEFL course developed by BridgeTEFL was more than I had hoped for and gave me a thorough preparation to step off into the great unknown of teaching English abroad…The learning environment was very comfortable and the instructors went beyond the call of duty in instruction and answering any and all questions students posed about teaching, finding work, and living the life of an English teacher in Argentina.” |

I feel I am now qualified and ready to take on a teaching job here in Argentina. I have been given many important tools that have helped to build my confidence in the field.” |

| “I would highly recommend the TEFL course in Buenos Aires. [The TEFL trainers] were excellent. It was a challenging course with a lot of homework. The most valuable part was the practice teaching, which was a great way to apply the theory in a realistic setting and to build confidence.” |
