  • LEARN ABOUT SPANISH CULTURE - as you teach English to local students
  • EARN A MONTHLY ALLOWANCE OF 912 EUR - enough for a comfortable local lifestyle

* note on acceptance into the program, a EUR 850 security deposit is payable. Your program deposit payment demonstrates your commitment to joining the Language Assistant in Spain program. This commitment helps the local support staff to plan their resources and ensure you have the best possible experience when you arrive in Spain.

Benefits

  • Allowance of 912 EUR monthly - you can live comfortably in Spain on this amount
  • Access to Spanish health care system
  • 20 teaching hours per week allowing you plenty of time to explore Spain
  • School holidays
  • Health insurance (for EU citizens)
  • 24/7 Support and feedback from your assigned tutor / mentor
  • Accommodation * - full board with host family or independent / shared housing

* Note - the option to stay with a host family would mean accommodation / meals at no cost to you although you would be expected to commit to the program for 9 months if you take this option. If you opt for independent housing, support can be given with finding an apartment although you are responsible for rental costs. Many program participants often choose to share accommodation which can reduce costs significantly.

A little over 2 months ago, I took a giant leap of faith. I uprooted myself from my familiar, comfortable life in the United States to become a Language Assistant in Spain. I had almost no experience and absolutely zero expectations. I showed up to my first day of school with a completely open mind, prepared to take on whatever challenges my new work experience would bring!

Accommodation

Choose from homestay accommodation with a local Spanish family or rent your own private apartment.

If you choose the homestay option, rent and groceries are provided although of course you will be expected to pitch in with household chores. This is a popular program and so many teachers also rent privately and share with fellow participants.

Note - homestay accommodation requires a 9 month commitment.
