|
|
Hi,
I have a few questions about TEFL Training and Job Opportunities in Arequipa, Peru.
First, what does job market look like right now for a new TEFL teacher with TEFL certificate but no experience in Arequipa? Is a $500/mth. to $800/mth. salary at a private institute reasonable?
Second, does V�a Lingua offer a legitimate TEFL certificate course?
Third, are there any alternative certification courses in Arequipa that are more affordable than V�a Lingua? V�a Lingua wants $1,550 for its course.
Finally, what additional aspects of teaching English should I take into account when living in Arequipa?
Thank you for your comments |

Yep,$500 to $800 is the average, just don't expect
Visas
Housing
Flights
VIa Lingua, if they have 120 hours with 6 of on site teaching, then yes.
That price is pretty much the best you'll find. There's another course I know of, but it's 3 months long.
Housing will be an additional expense. As will border runs or paying the $1 a day fine for overstaying your visa.
Check your PM for more info |

Hey, I've taught at Extreme, the school that hosts the Via Lingua program. Check your pms.
You'll make about $500 at best in Arequipa, but it's also a really cheap city to live in |
