Teaching jobs in Colombia are much sought-after, and with good reason. Teaching English in Colombia allows teachers to experience colorful South American life while teaching at excellent schools. Teaching English at private international schools in Colombia offers many benefits. Teachers can expect to earn a salary that allows them to live comfortably no matter where they are placed. While salaries may seem low compared to a teacher’s home country, the cost of living in Colombia is also much lower. Most teaching jobs in Colombia for licensed teachers provide a salary of approximately $1,000 per month tax-free, though this amount will vary depending on qualifications and experience. Benefits may include accommodation or an accommodation allowance, return airfare, medical insurance, paid vacation time, and contract completion bonuses. Typically, contracts for teaching jobs in Colombia are two years in length. Private international schools require that candidates have at least two years of relevant teaching experience.
A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Bogota
Teaching Jobs in Bogota
If you are teaching in Bogota, you will most likely be teaching English. Speaking English is becoming more and more desirable in Colombia, so there are plenty of jobs to go around. TEFL gigs usually crop up in public schools, private schools, and as private classes.
As part of a country-wide drive to improve English skills among high school students, there are many placements available in public schools in vulnerable neighborhoods. This placement is ideal for anyone wanting to use their time abroad to make a lasting difference (so basically everyone). Placements for teaching in Bogota come with a lot of in-country support, a thorough orientation, and the opportunity to see a different side of Colombia. Despite the feels, the environment can be challenging though, so think carefully before taking on this responsibility.
Working in a private institution, you will be interacting with people from an entirely different social strata. You will probably have a more comfortable teaching environment (smaller class sizes, more resources, etc) and better pay. Because of competition for placements, you will most likely need a formal TEFL/TESOL qualification to get hired. Luckily it is easy to get TEFL certified in Bogota, and once you have this under your belt, you will be set to teach anywhere in the world!
Both private and public schools prefer a commitment of one year from ESL teachers in Colombia. The school year commences in February and runs to November, with a long summer break in the middle. Because it will take at least a year to explore Bogota, this is a great length of time to sign up for (to start off with anyway - you may even stay longer!).
