Over recent yearsBrazils economy hasrisen steadily andlooks set to becomeone of the top veeconomies in theworld in the years
ahead. As withmost countries enjoyingnancial growth, the demand forEnglish languageteachers is rising too.
While there arent a huge number o jobs or oreigners, people with specialistknowledge and experience can gain a visa and nd work. However, gaining a visa as
a TEFL specialist is extremely rare and most TEFL teachers choose to work illegally on
tourist visas.
opprtute fr TEFLTeacherBrazilian language schools see hiring oreign
nationals to teach English as prohibitivelyexpensive. Thereore it is almost impossible to get
a working visa to teach English in Brazil and the
only option is to work illegally. I you choose to
take this route, youll need to do a twice yearly
border run to a neighboring country to renew
your visa.

Accmmdat
Most teachers in Brazil live in relatively new
apartment blocks, with all the mod-cons.
These are usually shared with other teachers
or ex-pats to reduce costs. In more rural
areas, you may end up in a more traditional
azenda.
Flght Remuremet
This is quite unusual, however i you negotiate
hard enough with your employer they may
include the cost o your fight as an end o
contract bonus.
Taxe
How much tax you pay will depend on how much
you earn, but expect to pay anything rom nothing all
the way up to 15% o your salary as tax.
Ptetal t save Mey
Realistically, theres little chance to save money on the salary rom your TEFL job. Butthats not why people chose to teach English in Brazil - this country is more about having
exciting experiences and living lie to the ull than it is about cash in the bank!
Hw Much TEFL Trag Recmmeded?
Because most hired teachers are given in-house training
there are some opportunities or unqualied TEFL teachersto nd work without a TEFL certicate in Brazil. However,
the vast majority o employers require a high level o TEFL
certication. So its probably a good idea to get at least 120
hours o TEFL training beore you arrive in the country. We
oer a ull range o TEFL courses that should make nd work
a little easier. You can nd out more about TEFL courses here:

Cmm Teachg CdtI youre working in a private language school you could end up
working split shits (early mornings and evenings), while other
employers oer more regular nine to ve hours. On average though
youll have 25 contact hours per week with 10 hours available or
preparation. Contracts range rom six to 12 months, depending
on where youre working. Shorter term contracts are sometimes
available, but youre unlikely to get your hands on these unless
youre in-country.
Aythg t be Wary f?I any school agrees to arrange a work visa or you beore you
arrive, take the oer with a pinch o salt they probably wont!
Wrkg ad VaFdg TEFL J frm Hme
It is possible to arrange work rom home, but its much easier to
nd work once youre there. That way you can do the research
and emailing rom home, then ollow up all the leads when you
land in Brazil.

Scan through classied ads in the Yellow Pages, the local English language magazines
and jobs websites or just go round language
schools in your local area. Sometimes this is the
best way to look or jobs as youll be able to
meet Directors o Studies in person and get a
eel or what the schools like.
The Hrg Prce
The hiring process in Brazil can be a pretty
ull-on. It is not unheard o or the language
school or recruitment agency to ask you
to complete at English test when you drop
in your resume. And you may even be to
take part in a group interview alongside
other teachers. Dont let this put you othough, just make sure youre prepared
or any eventuality.

Gettg Yur Va
To teach legally in Brazil you need to have a
working visa. However due to the expense
and hassle or employers to get these its
very unlikely that any school will sponsor
you or one initially. As such, most teacherscome into the country on a tourist visa,
then switch it to a working visa once
theyre happy with their employer and
vice-versa. Some teach on a tourist visa
indenitely while this is a course o
action we would not recommend, it is
very common in Brazil.
Requremet fr a Wrkg Va:
Sponsorship rom an employer
Lots o experience teaching in a specialized area
A relaxed attitude to red tape
