  • We have placements from September to December, January to April and April to July 2023. You can apply here.
  • Train and teach in well known English academies and schools in Seville: OUIEAConecta IdiomasOC LanguagesSevilla EnglishColegio Ntra.

We will provide you with job descriptions and tell you more about these during interviews. 
  • Your own room in a flat in central Seville or Lisbon. You’ll have your own room and share a lounge and kitchen with two or three others who are also on IberiaTeacher. That way you’ll have peer support and meet other newly qualified teachers like you.

Who can apply?

Whoever you are – you can apply for our scheme. It is highly useful to have gained TESOL, CELTA or a TEFL within the last year or two. If you do not have one of these qualifications you can also apply and you will need to complete a short LRN teaching English course as part of the programme. 

Our criteria is simply focused on people who are kind and curious, as well as fully committed to English teaching, and to contributing something positive into the mix of the city’s life whilst there.

We want to make sure we recruit from a rich pool of talent. We are able to make adaptions at any stage of the process should they be required. E.g. application by video instead of written document, video call instead of audio, further specific information about the working environment etc…
