Teach English in Greece, Portugal, Spain

Long sandy beaches, ancient ruins, and iced cappuccinos are a few of the wonderful experiences awaiting you in these countries. If you are looking for a laid-back lifestyle, with late-night partying and afternoon siestas, you will enjoy teaching in this area. Not only will you have the opportunity to learn Spanish, Portuguese and/or Greek, but you will also have the ability to travel easily amongst these Southern destinations. EU passport holders will have a relatively easy time finding jobs. Keep in mind that these destinations are tourist hotspots, and are warm all year round, so competition is tough. Teaching positions are usually just advertised locally. Your best option is to fly to these locations first and then look for employment.
