Job Prospects & Pay:

Positions are readily available throughout Cusco, including opportunities at the English language school associated with the Training Center in the center of town. Students at the school are generally adults learning English for their jobs, as well as for personal improvement. This makes for very motivated students who are rewarding to teach.

Located on the Pacific Coast, Lima is home to nearly one third of the country's population and offers participants ample teaching positions. Most jobs in the capital city involve working primarily with business professionals or university students at private language schools.

Pay for teachers varies widely and depends on your qualifications, hours-per-week, and length-of-contract. Hourly salaries average about US$5-6 per hour, which should be sufficient to support yourself financially while living in Peru, due to the low cost of living there!
