TEACHING ENGLISH IN BRAZIL REVIEW

Brazil is a great place to be right now...

You've probably read about Brazil in the news. The Rio +20 summit. The World Cup 2014 will be held in arenas across the country. The 2016 Olympic Games will be held in Rio. All of these events are bringing lots of attention and lots of travelers to Rio.

And that means that the demand for English is higher than ever before.

But aside from these events, which will come and go, tourism continues to increase here. And the oil and gas business is a huge employer here. Brazil continues to expand its role in the world - in business and in politics.

These factors contribute to an increased - and continuing - demand for English.

The fact is that you by good fortune have a skill that is very much in demand around the world: You know English.

That skill could take you may places. May I suggest Brazil?! Here are a few reasons.

You can start work almost immediately. I had my first classes my second week in Rio.
You don't need experience, just a knowledge of English.
You don't need to make a heavy investment. (The internet will be your most valuable resource.)
Pay is good if you know how to market yourself. In Rio and Sao Paulo, the largest markets, you can currently expect to earn 60 reales per hour, and one real buys more or less the same as one dollar.
Hours are flexible. Expect to have 5-6 hours of class per day. Some teachers prefer to fill their schedules Monday - Thursday and take Fridays off.
If you have knowledge in a specialized field (petroleum, aviation, any medical specialty, hospitality and tourism, restaurants, to name a few), it's even easier to find good-paying work.

Of course, all this is a lot easier to attain and attain quickly if you know how. And Teaching English in Brazil shows you how to be successful at teaching and avoid problems.
