I earned my TEFL certification in 2022. After hard years brought onto the world during the pandemic, I had the opportunity to look deeply at my life and how I wanted to live it. One of the primary desires that continued to pop up was my want to live abroad. I have always wanted to learn about cultures in a more meaningful way than visiting an area for a handful of weeks and leaving it as soon as I gained my footing. I wanted to be immersed in it so thoroughly that I genuinely could say I knew the place well. Signing up with International TEFL Academy has been the best decision I have made in my adult life. ITA provides the tools and networks needed to move abroad successfully. Through ITA, I was able to connect to other like-minded individuals determined to live out their dreams as well. Their Facebook groups and class discussions were great places to link and prepare to move abroad. My favorite part of ITA's online TEFL certification was the thoroughness of lesson planning and gaining tools to teach students effectively. I lead classes with confidence because of how much I learned through ITA. As much as this is an opportunity to grow through experience, it is also a way to help others reach their language goals, and ITA was a great stepping stone to earning my teaching job.

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Brazil

Best Cities

Brazil is a massive country with an extremely varied geography. However, if you’re searching for English teaching jobs in Brazil, you’ll have better luck in major cities. Teach in Brazil in a megacity on the coast, or in one of the smaller state capitals in the Brazilian highlands. Wherever you’re based, you won’t have an issue getting around to explore during your time off from teaching English in Brazil. 

Rio de Janeiro. Home to the infamous Copacabana Beach, the Maracanã Football Stadium, and the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, Brazil’s legendary seaside city is an epic place to teach English in Brazil this summer. Rio’s thriving tourist scene means that there’s a steady supply of ESL jobs in Brazil. 

São Paulo. This financial megacity is an exciting place to teach English in Brazil. While it lacks the dramatic beauty of neighboring Rio, São Paulo’s impressive ethnic diversity and well-educated middle class translate to a buzzing cultural scene and lots of opportunities for English teaching jobs in São Paulo, Brazil. Also, Santos, with its four-mile beach is within easy reach of the city, when you need to escape the urban jungle for the weekend.
