Hi there. I recently finished my 20hour tefl course and i am currently in the last 2months of a 4year honourary degree in English Literature.
I have my heart set on travelling to South America, and have recently secured work at a hostel in Santiago, Chile, which was recommended to me by a friend. I hope that when I arrive I can apply to as many places as possible and will hopefully secure work when I get there. I will arrive in July, and will stay there for 2-3months.

I would like to know how possible this it to secure work teaching? Is there a lot of work with my qualifications?

I also speak very little Spanish...will that be a great hinderance???

Any information (experiences) would be really welcome.

Thanks,
ANDY

I'll let someone else with a better idea tackle some of the other questions but I think your biggest problem might actually be that you're only going to be here 2-3 months. If you're looking for a really organized job like at an institute or something I would think they'd be hesitant to hire someone who is only staying for a couple months. Even private students would have to start classes with you knowing they'd only get about a dozen classes in before they have to find a new teacher again. Though, hopefully that wont always be a problem and you can get around it
