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.

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Medellin
Teaching Jobs in Medellin
Teaching English in Medellin means that your job will fall into one of three categories: private language institutes, public schools, or universities. Each placement has its own brand of challenges and rewards for aspiring teachers.
Private language schools offer the most comfortable working conditions. Often modern, well-resourced establishments, you can expect small class sizes or even individual lessons, a flexible and friendly schedule, and good remuneration. Placements in public schools, in contrast, are often in poorer neighborhoods, meaning large classes, few resources, and a lack of the kind of organization you may be used to. You will be working with more vulnerable students however, so your efforts will have greater impact on the community. Universities typically require candidates to have a degree and/or a TEFL qualification before teaching English in Medellin. Classes might be big but students at this level are generally dedicated and willing to learn, making your job easier.
The kind of placement you get depends on your prior experience, preference in terms of age group, and the length of time you can commit to a role. Speaking some Spanish is beneficial, as most students outside of private schools only have a basic grasp of English, but it is not strictly necessary.
