TEFL Training Center
BridgeTEFL has a long history in Brazil, with over 20 years of experience in the country. The Rio de Janeiro TEFL training center offers modern, comfortable facilities in a convenient downtown location. It is just blocks from the Uruguaiana metro station and close to the famous SAARA, a flea market where you can find anything at amazingly inexpensive prices.
Established in 1984, the TEFL center moved to newly renovated facilities in 2006. It features 10 classrooms with TVs and DVD players, central heat and air-conditioning, computers with free Internet, and WiFi. It is in the same building is an amazing café where you can taste Brazil’s world-famous coffee. You'll find the TEFL center staff welcoming and professional, and always ready to help you with whatever you may need during your time in Rio.


Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
With white sandy beaches in one direction, lush green mountains in another, and the famous Christ Redeemer statue perched above it all, Rio de Janeiro is one of the most spectacular cities in the world. And that’s just the view! Add the friendliness of the locals, the laid-back attitude, and the tropical climate, and you’ll soon see why they call Rio “La Cidade Maravilhosa” (the Marvelous City).

Rio de Janeiro is renowned for its festive atmosphere, especially during Carnival—for five days every year, the city comes to a virtual standstill as parties, dancing, parades, and samba music fill the streets. But Rio is also a modern business center, home to the headquarters of some of Brazil's largest national and multinational companies. As a TEFL trainee in Rio de Janeiro, you will find yourself in a fascinating cosmopolitan city with nearly unlimited restaurants, businesses, tourist attractions, nightlife options and, of course, beaches!


Teaching English in Brazil

TEFL teachers seeking employment in Brazil will most likely find work in private language centers in Rio de Janeiro. Located throughout the city, most English schools are conveniently near public transportation, cafes, restaurants, and shopping areas.

Many TEFL classes will be taught outside of the schools themselves in the offices of the clients,

which makes for highly motivated students and an efficient learning environment. Most of the students you will be teaching in Rio are adults and professionals who need to learn English for their jobs, as well as for personal improvement

Rainy
Demerson

“I highly recommend the TEFL at BridgeTEFL. The company is organized and reliable, my trainer was excellent, and the methodology is effective, practical and up-to-date.”


Deborah

“I had a great experience with the TEFL program in Rio. Our teacher was fantastic—totally professional, knowledgeable…and always approachable. We covered pretty much everything [about] how to teach English as a foreign language. I also appreciated the section on how to teach Business English, since that's a lucrative and growing market. And, of course, Rio was the perfect place to strike a balance between work and the beach!”

“I have always wanted to try teaching abroad. [One of the best parts] about being a teacher is the free time we have to explore the culture that we are in. My days are very busy, but they are also extremely exciting—moving around the city, teaching, learning. I would recommend the experience. Teaching abroad is both eye-opening and challenging. It has been an extremely rewarding experience that I will always remember.”
