Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
With white sandy beaches in one direction, lush green mountains in another, and the famous Christ Redeemer statue perched above it all, Rio de Janeiro is one of the most spectacular cities in the world. And that’s just the view! Add the friendliness of the locals, the laid-back attitude, and the tropical climate, and you’ll soon see why they call Rio “A Cidade Maravilhosa” (the Marvelous City).
Rio de Janeiro is renowned for its festive atmosphere,
especially during Carnival—for five days every year,
the city comes to a virtual standstill as parties, dancing,
parades, and samba music fill the streets. But Rio is
also a modern business center, home to the headquarters
of some of Brazil's largest national and multinational
companies. As a TEFL trainee in Rio de Janeiro, you will
find yourself in a fascinating cosmopolitan city with
nearly unlimited restaurants, businesses, tourist attractions,
nightlife options and, of course, beaches!
Teaching English in Brazil
 |
TEFL teachers seeking employment
in Brazil will most likely find work in private
language centers in Rio de Janeiro. Located throughout
the city, most English schools are conveniently
near public transportation, cafes, restaurants,
and shopping areas.
Many TEFL classes will be taught outside of the schools
themselves in the offices of the clients, |
which makes
for highly motivated students and an efficient learning
environment. Most of the students you will be teaching
in Rio are adults and professionals who need to learn
English for their jobs, as well as for personal improvement

“I have always wanted to try teaching abroad. [One of the best parts] about being a teacher is the free time we have to explore the culture that we are in. My days are very busy, but they are also extremely exciting—moving around the city, teaching, learning. I would recommend the experience. Teaching abroad is both eye-opening and challenging. It has been an extremely rewarding experience that I will always remember.” |
