Very informative. Ray here n just subscribed. Hey I was wondering if you had some recommendations as far as which school to go to in order to get your TEFL? I believe in one of the comments you even mentioned to another subscriber about a site where you can get it for free but wondering if that would be a smart move. Thanks in advance 🙏
If you plan to rely on your job as a teacher in an academy with no other income stream, you will certainly have a better lifestyle outside of Madrid and Barcelona. The salaries are low, the lifestyle is higher and most of the academies there tend to offer part-time jobs, rarely 9 - 5s.
I am seriously looking into Spain after I acquire 10:18 my citizenship by de decendant, but definitely will need to bring my American salary with me 😅. That’s a huge chunk to get used to…
Absolutely, depends on lifestyle...but I found the outdoor lifestyle, because of the weather, made cheap or free things really fun. Subscribe, I'll be dropping A LOT of specific Spain videos :)
Very interesting! Did you do any private tutoring within your side projects? This can be a nice option for people looking to supplement their income a little without taking away too much from being able to enjoy the lifestyle
Build a CV, talk a good game, locate as many academies as possible via google maps (the smaller the better), look the part, walk in and introduce yourself as someone looking for work. I would do a course first though or get some experience. No degree? Get a CELTA. Degree? Get an online TEFL. Not advice, do your own research!
Helpful buddy, thanks for the info 🎉
Subscribe for TEFL value and info, ESPECIALLY if you like the idea of Spain :)

Agreed!! Unfortunately, the allure of the big two is too much for some of us 😂

I only took up 1-1s with my academy, so less lucrative, but no Spanish tax headache 🤕
Well, I’m sold! Do you have any connections that could help me out?
Start by getting some decent items on your teaching CV. Voluntary positions etc, I'll have to do a video on this.
Please do@@LewisGreenaway
At 13 an hour were you considered a freelancer or employee? Did you have to travel or were classes held in the academy?
Employee. One academy, all my classes were at the academy itself.
When did you start teaching?
Somewhere in 2017.
How can I get these jobs .. I am coming to madrid next month.

Is it all young people or do retirees teach as well?
I met a fair few 60+ TEFL teachers working between 12-16 hours a week. A nice option.
@@LewisGreenaway excellent. Thank you!
