The most common type of teaching work in Brazil is working at a private language centre. There are some jobs teaching children, but most jobs are teaching adults before/after work and during lunch breaks. Lots of TEFL teachers start out working for a company that arranges for you to teach various clients and different locations and eventually shift to teaching their own clients privately. All jobs require candidates to have native-level English, and most jobs require you to have a TEFL certificate, though some may only ask for previous teaching experience. To work at a private language centre, you’ll usually need a teaching degree and a teaching license. It’s very competitive and there aren’t many job opportunities, but it may be worth the hard work if you are keen to stay in Brazil for a while as these jobs often have lots of benefits. Most jobs start in February and run until June with a break in August.
