TEFL Training Center
Our TEFL training
center in Cusco is located in a modern office building
in the center of town. Designed with the needs of
our students and teachers in mind, the TEFL school
is fully equipped with up-to-date conveniences and
facilities.
The training center offers classrooms for group
and private classes, a library, and laptop computers with high-speed Internet connections. Every classroom
has comfortable furniture, a whiteboard, and a cassette
and CD player. There are also common areas where TEFL
trainees can study, socialize, or grab a cup of coffee
or tea served piping hot each morning.
Cusco, Peru
Perched 11,000 feet high in the southwestern Andes, Cusco
is known as the archeological capital of the Americas.
The city has long made a name for itself as the gateway
to nearby Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail. Every narrow
street and lane of Cusco emanates history, as traces of
ancient Incan culture and the town's colonial past provide
an intriguing backdrop for the contemporary buildings
and modern conveniences of an international tourist destination.
Due to its high elevation, Cusco is chilly at night
and sunny but cool during the day all year round. This
pleasant weather is a great excuse to walk through the
illustrious Plaza de Armas, or to seek out the many
markets selling the beautiful wool sweaters for which
the country is renowned. While TEFL training, teaching
English classes, investigating the area’s archeological
charms, or just hanging out around town, you’ll
be sure to soak up plenty of the cultural richness of
Cusco.
Teaching English
in Peru
 |
 |
Peru's wealth of
both culture and nature promises a spectacular
venue for anyone interested in the traditional
splendors of Latin America—and the low cost
of living helps a TEFL teacher’s salary
go a long way. TEFL graduates seeking employment
in Peru are most often placed in Cusco, where
our TEFL program is located, or in Lima, the national
capital.
|
|
TEFL positions are readily available throughout Cusco,
including at the BridgeTEFL partner English language school
in the center of town. Students at the school are generally
adults learning English for their jobs, as well as for
personal improvement. This makes for very motivated students
who are rewarding to teach.
Located on the Pacific Coast, Lima is home to nearly one
third of the country’s population and offers TEFL
grads plenty of teaching positions. Most TEFL jobs in the capital city involve working primarily
with business professionals or university students at
private language schools. An added benefit? Lima is
one of the few locations in South America that consistently
offers full teaching schedules.

"Teaching [here] is great because the classes are small. The students are very receptive and we often spend time after class just chatting. In addition to my regular adult groups, I also teach children, so I get to sing songs and play lots of games too!
And, of course, Cusco is a fascinating place to live - it's so full of history and there's always something going on. The cost of living is low, so I've gotten to explore my new home and I've learned a lot about Peru and the culture while teaching. All in all, a great experience!" |
