BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA

Buenos Aires, the “Paris of South America” and birthplace of the Tango.

Experience the best of Argentina in its lively capital city, Buenos Aires. Most resi-

dents of Buenos Aires speak Spanish, so if you also want to improve your Spanish,

it's the place for you. English is not widely spoken, so as you can imagine, there's

plenty of room for another qualified English teacher. Add to this the local belief that

a good night out is not a treat, it’s your God given right and you’ve found a place

where people are dedicated to living life to the fullest.

At EBC in Buenos Aires we will do everything possible to make sure you have an en-

joyable time in this fantastic region. We are a small and friendly team offering you

the warmest welcome. Our teaching staff and support staff have many years of TEFL

experience and just as importantly Buenos Aires experience. Our staff are perma-

nent residents of Buenos Aires who have invaluable knowledge so you will get to

know Buenos Aires from the ground up.

Buenos Aires quite rightly lives up to its name of the “Paris of South America”. Cen-

tral Buenos Aires is full of beautiful buildings designed by the same French architects

who designed some of Paris’ most famous buildings. When you walk through San

Martin, close to our training centre, or the wide tree-lined boulevards of Buenos

Aires you could easily imagine that you have been magically transported to Paris.

Buenos Aires is the capital of Argentina, the seventh largest country in the world. It

is an energetic and seductive port city, which stretches south-to-north along the Rio

de la Plata and has been the gateway to Argentina for centuries.

“Porteños”, as the natives of Buenos Aires are known, possess an elaborate and rich

cultural identity. They value their European heritage highly. Italian and German

names outnumber Spanish names and the lifestyle and architecture are markedly

more European than any other in South America. One of the world's finest opera

houses, the “Teatro Colon”, flourishes here on the plains alongside the river.

Porteños are intensely involved in the life and culture of their city, and they will

gladly share the secrets of Buenos Aires if you lend an ear and relate your own sto-

So why visit Argentina? The huge metropolis of Buenos Aires is one of the most ex-

citing, charming and fascinating of all South American capitals. It's an immensely

enjoyable place just to wander about, stopping off for an espresso or an ice cream,

or people-watching, or shopping, or simply soaking up the unique atmosphere. Its

many barrios, or neighbourhoods, are startlingly different, some decadently old-

fashioned, others very modern, but all of them oozing character. Buenos Aires is

also Argentina's gastronomic centrepiece and has a frenzied night life making it one

of the world's great round-the-clock cities.

Add to this, the Andes, Patagonia and its glacial region, the huge Iguazú falls, gau-

chos, skiing in the southern lake district and not to mention miles of beaches to

the south of Buenos Aires and you've got a very interesting location to explore. Bue-

nos Aires is also the business and financial centre of Argentina and so is the best

place to find TEFL jobs in Argentina.

With all this to offer, Buenos Aires is a great place to have fun. History, character,

artists, theatre and a great night life. Buenos Aires is the hub of Argentina and the

country’s business centre so there’s never a shortage of teaching jobs.

If you’re in the mood to thoroughly immerse yourself in Argentina, do it in Buenos

Aires!

EBC JOB SUPPORT WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

Mandatory

Your passport with at least 6 months left to run on it (with a visa if you need

one – refer to the visa section for more information).

A round-trip or onward travel ticket if you aren't already in Argentina. If you

arrive only with a one-way ticket and passport control asks to see your return

ticket, they will force you to buy a return ticket on the spot. This will be very

expensive. The chances of this happening are unlikely but not impossible so

play it safe.

Your signed course payment receipts.

If you have a degree, a copy of your transcripts (official or unofficial) or a copy

of your degree certificate.

Recommended items for the TEFL course

Laptop computer - Check that it is wireless B/G compatible. We give you the

codes to connect to our free WIFI but you are responsible for configuring your

laptop and making sure it works properly and connects.

Mobile/Cell phone - If you have a tri-band phone - BRING IT. You will find that it

is cheaper to buy a pay-as-you-go card for your phone than it is to buy a new

phone. Being contactable by phone is VERY important. Good local phone com-

panies: CTI, Personal or Telefónica.

All foreigners can use Argentinean national health, but we HIGHLY RECOM-

MEND that you take out personal accident and health insurance.

Scissors, notebook, glue, pens and pencils, paper clips, blue-tac (don't forget

to put your scissors and other sharp objects in your check-in baggage)

English-Spanish phrase book and/or dictionary

Presentable clothes for teaching and job interviews. Business suits are re-

quired at some client sites

Electrical converter. Argentina operates on a 240 volt system

A travel alarm clock

Towels and toiletries

WHAT KIND OF CLOTHES SHOULD I BRING?

There are no specific dress rules when you attend class, but we ask that you respect

your peers and the fact that you are a visitor in another country.

There are specific dress requirements for teaching practice sessions that conform

with the local working and professional culture. You are expected to dress smart

casual as per the following guidelines.

Women

Shoulders should be covered (blouses with sleeves). No low-cut necklines or very

short skirts. Bare midriffs must not be visible, even when lifting arms up. Open-toed

shoes are acceptable, but no hiking boots, sneakers/trainers or beach sandals.

Men

Long pants/trousers. NO jeans. Short or long-sleeved shirts with a collar (a tie is not

required). Loafers or dress shoes are acceptable (no sandals, hiking boots or sneak-

ers/trainers). Long hair should be tied back.

Other wardrobe planning should be based on the seasonal temperatures mentioned

in the Local Weather Conditions section shown later in this document. Don't forget

that Argentina is in the southern hemisphere so the seasons are reversed, Decem-

ber is in summer and June is in winter.

WILL I REALLY GET A JOB TEACHING ENGLISH IN ARGENTINA?

The short answer is YES.

In Buenos Aires it is easy if you have a recognised certificate like EBC’s.

Buenos Aires has the greatest demand for native English teachers in the whole

of Argentina.

Almost all language schools in Buenos Aires don't care if a prospective teacher

has a work permit.

EBC is always being asked for teachers by language schools as early as the first

week of a new course.

EBC graduates are usually working shortly after finishing the course at full mar-

WHAT IS THE TEFL JOB MARKET IN BUENOS AIRES LIKE?

The TEFL job market in Argentina is always good.

Don't delay looking for a job until you start running out of your savings. The best

time to look is when you finish the course and we get your resume sent out to the

schools that we supply teachers to in Buenos Aires. Most schools do not care wheth-

er you have a work permit or not.

It is usually more difficult to find work outside Buenos Aires during the school year

(March to December). If you want to work outside Buenos Aires it is best to apply

for work just before the new school year starts. This could mean that you have to

work in Buenos Aires for a few months until the start of the new year, but you'll find

living and working in Buenos Aires is a great experience.

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE SALARY FOR AN ENGLISH TEACHER?

The average salary in Buenos Aires is about 45 to 60 Pesos per hour. This varies de-

pending on what type of school or company you work for and whether you work full

or part-time. We do not recommend that you accept less than 45 Pesos an hour

unless the school is also throwing in some other incentives like free Spanish lessons.

How many of the TEFL graduates actually find work in Argentina?

All of our course graduates who have wanted to work in Argentina have been able

to secure teaching positions.

HOW MANY EBC GRADUATES REALLY FIND WORK IN ARGENTINA?

The EBC course training centre in Buenos Aires also runs a language school. Subject

to availability, you may get offered an English teaching job by the language school at

MORE ABOUT BUENOS AIRES

Local transportation

Central Buenos Aires is a great place to see on foot, but like all capital cities it is

large, so if you want to go further afield use the public transport.

Public transport in Buenos Aires is safe and efficient, the "Subte" (Subway/

Underground) is the easiest to use. It serves the city centre and northern areas. To

reach the rest of the city or go outside it's best to use the bus service known locally

as the “colectivos”. There are also plenty of taxis which, surprisingly for a capital

city, are not very expensive. You can easily get to our TEFL course training centre by

public transport. There is also a commuter rail system that services some parts of

Buenos Aires. Tickets are priced on a distance travelled basis, but compared to the

US, Canada, UK etc. the cost is still very cheap.

Shopping

Buenos Aires has probably the best shopping areas in all of Argentina. There are

many areas containing malls and shopping districts full of different types of stores.

Unless you are in a street market where you may be able to haggle prices, the cost

of items in stores is as marked. The main shopping area in Buenos Aires is located on

“Florida”, a street about 6 blocks away from the training centre.

COMMON-SENSE WARNING1: Shopping areas are always full of tourists and there-

COMMON-SENSE WARNING2: The currency symbol for the Argentinian Pesos is

the same as the US Dollar sign i.e. $ If you see this on an item (e.g. $10) and the per-

son in the shop tells you it’s 10 US Dollars, walk away. Items that are priced in US

Dollars are almost always marked as $US or US$.

Beaches and swimming

For the best and cleanest beaches in the area you’ll have to take a trip to Mar de

Plata. A resort town to the south of Buenos Aires. Air conditioned tour buses run

between Buenos Aires and Mar de Plata.

Football/Soccer

Boca Juniors and River Plate are both premiere league clubs in Argentina. Both

clubs are famous. Boca Juniors play in “La Bombonera” in the la Boca district. Some

notable players are Carlos Tevez, Fernando Gago and Diego Maradona. River Plate

play in the “Monumental stadium” in the fashionable district of Belgrano. Some

notable players are Alfredo di Stefano and Hernan Crespo.

versed, December is in the summer and June is in the winter.

Spring - (Sep, Oct, Nov) pleasant (10º to 20º C)

Summer - (Dec, Jan, Feb) hot and humid (20º to 34º C)

QUESTIONS ABOUT LIVING IN BUENOS AIRES

What are the average housing and living expenses when working in Argentina?

Page 15: Buenos Aires TEFL course, teach English in Argentina

Most likely you will rent a room in an apartment or house with other teachers or with

Argentinians, and of course it depends on where you choose to live. A room in a shared

house or apartment in a good neighbourhood costs about 1,200 to 2,000 Pesos a

month. It is fair to say that TEFL teachers are quite well-paid by local standards in Argen-

tina, which means they can afford a comfortable standard of living.

A starting local (Argentinian) school teacher earns around 3,000 Pesos a month while a

TEFL teacher can expect to earn between 4,000 and 7,000 Pesos per month working 20

to 30 hours per week. While this may not sound a lot by international standards, it

means you can live quite comfortably in Buenos Aires. As a rule of thumb, for everyday

articles, 1 Peso in Argentina generally buys the equivalent of 1 Dollar in the USA.

How much money should I bring?

If you do not arrange your accommodation through EBC, you should budget to spend

between $US1,000 (Spartan life) to $US1,500 (comfy life) for the period covering the 28

day course. If you want to stay and work in Buenos Aires or the rest of Argentina you

should budget around $US1,000 to cover yourself until your first pay-check.

What if I get sick in Buenos Aires?

If you need urgent medical attention, you can use the Argentinean National Health ser-

vice. There are a number of insurance companies that offer their own health insurance

services at a costs vary but most have 100% coverage of all medical costs. We recom-

mend that you get health insurance before you travel.

EBC’s mission is to ensure that you achieve your teaching goals and

get you started on a successful EFL career. We focus on quality

training and getting you a job in the shortest time possible, usually

The four week, intensive EBC International TEFL Certificate course is a

practical and thorough course designed for candidates with no previ-

ous experience teaching English. It is also suitable for candidates with

some experience but no formal training in the TEFL TESOL field.

The EBC online TEFL course offers weekly tutorial and feedback ses-

teaching practice given to real English language learners.

Our EBC hybrid TEFL course is the same as the online course except

that you do your teaching practice with us in Madrid.
