Job Market
Chile offers the most diverse ESL market in South America. TESOL jobs are found at universities, private institutes, and private elementary schools and high schools.
Chile has one of the most concentrated private ESL industry in Latin America, with a handful of local chains having established franchises throughout the country. Many private elementary schools and high schools also offer their standard curriculum in English, so math and science teachers are also in high demand.
Jobs can be found before the teacher arrives, but there are also recruitment agencies based in Chile and North America helping teachers for a small fee (US$50 to $100).
Pay
Teachers can find jobs starting at US$700 per month and earn up to US$1,500 per month depending on qualifications and experience.
