Whether you prefer to work in big cities like Madrid and Barcelona or in small towns like Andalucia, you\u2019ll find plenty of EFL teaching opportunities in schools, in language academies, or even as a private tutor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most in-demand English teaching positions in Spain are for language assistants or <em>auxiliarios de conversaci\u00f3n.<\/em> As a language assistant, you\u2019ll provide support to teachers in public or semi-private schools and take part in conversational or language exchange activities in English. Spain and the U.S. have also recently come up with an agreement to recruit more native-English-speaking teachers to promote English studies in Spain and exchange programs, so you can expect more job openings in the coming years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/spain.jpg\" alt=\"Teach in Spain without a degree\" class=\"wp-image-4395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/spain.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/spain-480x252.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Spain is a beautiful country with a rich culture and stunning sights<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_qualifications_do_I_need_to_teach_English_in_Spain\"><\/span>What qualifications do I need to teach English in Spain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the requirements for English teaching jobs in Spain vary substantially from one company or program to another, here are the most important qualifications you need to have, along with answers to some questions about getting qualified for teaching English in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_to_be_TEFL_certified\"><\/span>Do I need to be TEFL certified?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a newbie to teaching EFL or already an experienced English teacher, <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/courses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TEFL certification<\/a> has become a baseline requirement for many TEFL jobs in Spain.

Language assistants teaching with government-sponsored programs can earn between $730 to $1,250 USD monthly, while the pay for teaching with private academies can range from $1,040 to $1,460 USD a month.

Meanwhile, the average budget for food can be anywhere from $100 to $200 USD per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the program or company you teach with, you can receive additional benefits, such as assistance in finding housing and medical coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/tefl-salary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about TEFL salaries abroad and online!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"557\" src=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Young-learners-pic-1.jpg\" alt=\"Happy kids at elementary school\" class=\"wp-image-2094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Young-learners-pic-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Young-learners-pic-1-480x334.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Young English students learn through games, conversation, and teacher-led exercises<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_I_teach_English_in_Spain\"><\/span>Where can I teach English in Spain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find English teaching jobs in Spain in a variety of places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Schools\"><\/span>Schools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Language assistants typically work with children in Spanish public or semi-private schools.
