Teach English in Beautiful Costa Rica!
Would you like to teach English near the beautiful beaches of Costa Rica in a traditional,medium-sized town? Would you like to be able to walk to work and take a bus on the weekends to nearby volcanoes, waterfalls, national parks, and beaches? Instituto Estelar Bilinge is located in Liberia, which has an international airport, is warm year-round, and is an ideal setting for improving your Spanish, volunteering in the community, and gaining
valuable teaching and living abroad experience.
Our English teachers enjoy the following benefits:
-Assistance with a work visa
-Health Insurance: 10.34% is deducted from each paycheck, and this
covers health insurance, taxes, and retirement (it is like social security).
-Free furnished housing in a shared living space. Some teachers share
rooms and some have private rooms. The teacher houses have 3-4 people
in each, and they all have Internet, Cable TV, utilities, and basic furniture
supplied.
-Paid vacation days (1 day for every month worked): these days cannot be
taken until a teacher completes the first three months of work.
-A yearly bonus called Aguinaldo paid in December: this is calculated by
taking the total earnings for the year (before taxes are deducted) and
dividing them by 12.
-Assistance with opening a local bank account.
-Paid initial training, a free mentor program for new teachers, and ongoing
support and training throughout the year.
-Sundays and Mondays are free: teachers work Tuesday through Saturday,
teaching the same group courses each week with some possible variations
of private classes.
-English teachers have access to weekly 1-hour free Spanish group classes
for teachers and our Immersion Spanish courses (20 hours of class in
one week).
-Several opportunities each week to volunteer in the community and make
a difference. One such opportunity is Club A, a non-profit that helps
underprivileged kids in a neighborhood just outside of Liberia.
-Living in Guanacaste where it is always sunny and warm. We do not
receive nearly the amount of rainfall as other parts of Costa Rica.
Gorgeous beaches are accessible by public buses and only 40-90 minutes
away. Liberia is not a touristy town, so you will practice your Spanish and
integrate with the locals. You can walk everywhere, but having a bike is
helpful. The international airport is 10 minutes outside of town.

We require teachers to be native English speakers, hold a minimum of a bachelors degree, and possess a TEFL or CELTA certificate. Our teachers commit to one year teaching adults and children, and we prefer to hire teachers with teaching and living abroad experience. Some knowledge of Spanish is helpful but not required.
