Teaching in Ecuador
Ecuador is one of the most diverse countries on the planet with a pacific coastline to the west, a mountainous mid-section and tropical rainforest to the east. The Galápagos Islands, home to some of the world’s most precious plant and animal species, lie just off the west coast in the Pacific Ocean.
The natural beauty of the country is astounding, the locals are warm and welcoming and the demand for qualified TEFL teachers is high. Teaching wages in Ecuador are modest, but so is the cost of living so many teachers live quite well by local standards. Ecuador is a fantastic destination for TEFL teachers wanting to live and work in South America.
