Built on the remains of the impressive Inca Empire, present-day Peru retains its personality, so exquisitely crafted from its ancient cultural inheritance.

Teach Abroad in Peru

Diverse and colorful, Peru draws teachers to its ancient sites and breathtaking landscapes. One of South America's most visited countries, it ascends from sea to sky and offers perfect beaches, lush rainforests, and cloud-piercing mountaintops. Teachers at language schools can expect to make a modest salary, around USD 500 to USD 700 per month. Because of Peru's low cost of living, they can live comfortably on this. Private international schools recruit experienced certified teachers and offer higher salaries and attractive benefits packages that may include health insurance and accommodation allowances.

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Peru

Locations

Geographically, Peru has three distinct regions: the Pacific Coast, the Andes Mountains, and the Amazon Basin. Most individuals end up teaching in Peru in one of two main cities, where teaching job opportunities are particularly plentiful; but, if you’d like to go run with pumas, fly with the condors, and slither with the snake (the Holy Trio of Peru), there’s likely a place with you can teach English in Peru off-the-beaten-track as well.

Lima is a popular spot for teaching English in Peru. Though currently the country’s largest city, Lima continues to grow every year. Miraflores is a popular coastal neighborhood, where many international teachers end of teaching in Peru, as it is a bit less overwhelming than the city center. While teaching in Lima, you’ll have great views of the coast, as well as access to nightlife, museums, and plenty of fresh seafood. If you are interested in something a bit more authentic, try teaching in the Barranco neighborhood, where there are colorful colonial churches and hidden cultural treasures galore.

If you are looking for a smaller city full of culture, look for teaching jobs in Cusco. A much more manageable city than Lima, Cusco is easy to get around by foot, and what isn’t can be accessed by bus. Cusco is very close to the well-known Sacred Valley, which is home to Machu Picchu, the Urubamba River, and many well-priced and stunning artisan markets. This close proximity to stunning Inca ruins make it a hotspot for tourists, but its isolation also leaves plenty lesser known treasures to explore.

It can be more difficult to find opportunities to teach in Peru outside of these two big cities, but there are some ways! Teaching jobs in the rural areas throughout Peru are best found through larger TEFL placement agencies or English language institutes. Rural towns and villages will be visited by fewer tourists, and consequently will be more affordable. Cities like Arequipa, Iquitos, and Puno are much less-traveled, but will give you a more immersive experience of teaching English in Peru.

Sean was amazing! I feel prepared to move forward in my ESL career confidently after dedicating a month to this certificate. His thoughtful guidance, detailed feedback, and steady encouragement helped me grow far more than I expected. Throughout the course, I gained practical tools for planning lessons, managing the classroom, and engaging students meaningfully. I now feel genuinely excited, empowered, and ready to apply everything I’ve learned in my future ESL teaching roles.
