BUENOS AIRES TEFL INSTITUTE

A REAL, IN-PERSON TEFL COURSE IN BUENOS AIRES

AFFORDABLE EXCELLENCE: OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

At Buenos Aires TEFL Institute, we believe professional teacher training should be practical, personal and accessible.

Our goal is not simply to provide you with a certificate. Our goal is to prepare you to walk into a real classroom with the confidence, methodology and practical experience necessary to teach English professionally.

For this reason, our main TEFL Certification Course is conducted face to face in Buenos Aires, combining teacher training, classroom observations, genuine teaching practice, professional development, Spanish classes and job-placement assistance.

BEFORE YOU PAY: MEET US FIRST

We understand that enrolling in an international TEFL course is an important financial and personal decision.

That is why applicants have the opportunity to speak with us before making their course payment.

Zoom Interview Before Enrollment

Before completing your enrollment, we arrange a live Zoom interview with prospective TEFL trainees.

This gives you the opportunity to:

✅ Meet a representative of Buenos Aires TEFL Institute face to face

✅ Ask questions about the TEFL course

✅ Discuss your professional goals

✅ Understand the weekly course structure

✅ Ask about teaching practice and classroom observations

✅ Discuss accommodation at Palacio Piedras

✅ Learn how our Job Placement Assistance works

✅ Ask about employment opportunities in Buenos Aires and internationally

✅ Discuss Spanish classes

✅ Confirm course dates, payment deadlines and arrival arrangements

✅ Make sure the program is the right fit for you before committing financially

We strongly believe that students should be able to communicate with a real person before enrolling in an international program.

You do not have to make your course payment before having your Zoom interview with us.

WHY IN-PERSON TEFL TRAINING MATTERS

There is a major difference between reading about teaching and actually standing in front of students.

Our in-person TEFL program emphasizes genuine human interaction and classroom experience.

During your training, you learn how to:

✅ Plan effective English lessons

✅ Present grammar and vocabulary clearly

✅ Teach speaking, listening, reading and writing

✅ Manage different classroom situations

✅ Correct students appropriately

✅ Adapt lessons to different ages and levels

✅ Build student participation and confidence

✅ Develop your own teaching style

✅ Give instructions clearly

✅ Manage lesson timing

✅ Respond to real students rather than simulated situations

These are professional skills that develop most effectively through practice, observation and feedback.

PRACTICAL TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Teaching practice is one of the most important components of our program.

• Our trainees do not simply complete theoretical exercises.
• They have the opportunity to gain genuine classroom experience with real learners of English.
• Teaching practice allows trainees to apply what they have studied in methodology sessions and receive constructive professional feedback.
• Classroom observations also expose trainees to different teaching styles, student profiles and learning environments.
• This combination of:
• Methodology + Observation + Teaching Practice + Feedback is what transforms TEFL theory into practical teaching ability.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & JOB PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE

Obtaining your TEFL qualification is only the first step.

We also help trainees understand how to enter the English-teaching profession.

Our Job Placement Assistance may include:

✅ CV/resumé preparation

✅ Interview preparation

✅ Information about English-language institutes

✅ Introductions and professional contacts where appropriate

✅ Advice about teaching private students

✅ Guidance regarding online teaching

✅ Information about teaching opportunities in Buenos Aires

✅ Guidance for applying for teaching positions internationally

✅ Ongoing career assistance after completing the course

Employment ultimately depends on each graduate's qualifications, availability, language skills, immigration/work status, interview performance and individual employers' requirements.

For this reason, we provide Job Placement Assistance rather than promising automatic employment.

LEARN SPANISH WHILE BUILDING YOUR TEACHING CAREER

• Living in Argentina also gives TEFL trainees an opportunity to improve their Spanish.
• Our TEFL program includes 10 hours of Spanish classes as part of the five-week experience during week 5.
• Students who wish to develop greater fluency may continue studying Spanish before or after their TEFL program.

Learning Spanish can be particularly valuable for teachers who plan to live in Argentina because it helps them:

✅ Communicate in everyday situations

✅ Understand their students' linguistic challenges

✅ Integrate into Argentine life

✅ Communicate with schools and employers

✅ Become more independent while living abroad

For students beginning with little or no Spanish, longer periods of study can provide a much stronger foundation.

Students may choose to stay at Palacio Piedras, located in the same building as the school.

• This makes it possible to live and study in the heart of Buenos Aires without commuting long distances to your course.
• Recommended 56-Night Accommodation Option

• This option is particularly useful for students who want to remain in Buenos Aires during their TEFL course and initial job-search period.

Application, Zoom Meeting & Enrollment Commitment

Submitting an application to Buenos Aires TEFL Institute does not require immediate payment.

After reviewing your application, we invite you to a Zoom meeting before any payment is requested. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions, understand the course structure, teaching practice, expectations and accommodation options, and decide whether the program is right for you. However, completing the application form should be considered a serious expression of interest. Our TEFL course is an intensive, professional, in-person, very small group program that requires advance academic preparation, trainer planning, classroom organization and supervised teaching-practice arrangements.

If you are accepted and decide to proceed after the Zoom meeting, we expect you to confirm your enrollment and complete payment promptly. We will then send you the official invoice and payment instructions. Your place is secured only once payment has been received.

Please do not submit an application casually and then discontinue communication when contacted. If your plans change, simply let us know so that we can make the place available to another applicant.

Application process:
Apply online → Attend the Zoom meeting → Confirm your decision → Receive your invoice → Complete payment → Receive enrollment confirmation → Prepare for Buenos Aires.

Payment may be made through Wise, PayPal or credit card. A 5.4% administrative/payment-processing fee applies.

Because our program is conducted in person in Buenos Aires and teaching-practice arrangements are coordinated for each cohort, places are limited and genuine commitment is essential.

✅ Recent university graduates
