Teach English in Spain | Get paid while you travel and explore new cultures

I chose this program because I felt that RVF International really had my best interests in mind.

They made everything seem so personal, and it really made this huge leap of faith a lot less stressful. They explained that they would assist with every step of the way to get to Spain, and they did exactly that. They not only provided me with so many resources and so much guidance, but they were also there at a drop of a hat to answer any and all of my questions.

I am very pleased with my decision.

Where do I begin? There was just so much assistance along this journey to living and working in Spain. I guess I could start from the beginning.

RVF International helped me complete the application and registration paperwork, which is mostly in Spanish so having them assist me with everything to fill out was such a HUGE help. They let me know where to go to get the background check, the fingerprints, where to send all of the paperwork. They provided a step-by-step guide on how to fill everything out, but it was up to me to actually fill it out.

After the application was submitted, we began the Visa process. Very similar to the application and registration process. RVF International provided a guide and step-by-step form to obtain and fill out all of the necessary paperwork needed for the Visa appointment. RVF took the responsibility of scheduling the appointment for me, which was awesome.

After the visa was said and done, we began to prepare for my departure. RVF sent me numerous notes and ideas for things to pack, what to expect, and how to handle my first couple weeks in this foreign land. When it came to housing, RVF sent me a list of websites that Spain uses for renting apartments. It was really helpful, and the first place I went to go see, I ended up renting! (By the way, Google Translator became my best friend when I was house hunting).

The long term residency was up next and just like the visa, RVF scheduled this appointment for me gave me a list of everything I would need for this appointment, and let me know where to get all this new paperwork and how to fill everything out.

They really helped me with every step of the way during this journey, and I couldn't be more grateful.

What is your favorite travel memory?

My favorite travel memory is from my trip to Bavaria, Germany, in 2018. I visited Germany for the first time to meet my in-laws. They did an excellent job of showing me some of the most beautiful places in southern Germany. I felt incredibly special and excited to witness the country's stunning beauty. We explored numerous castles, lakes, mountains, and more. It was a truly magical experience.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Firstly, I've come to realize how fulfilling it is to know that I can make a positive impact on people's lives through my work. Helping individuals navigate the challenges of moving to another country has been a rewarding experience.

In addition to this, I've become more aware of the intricacies and difficulties that can arise when relocating to a foreign land. This heightened awareness has allowed me to better anticipate and address the needs and concerns of those undergoing this transition.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

One of the best stories I've heard from a returning student is when they expressed their gratitude for our constant support at every stage of their journey. We were there to help and assist them whenever they needed it, making their experience more comfortable.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of this job is seeing the happiness and excitement of the people who have joined our program.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

I would choose our 'Teach English in Spain Program' because it not only provides you with all the necessary support when you travel abroad but also offers the opportunity to live in another country where you'll be working less than 16 hours a week. This allows you to have ample free time to travel and explore, making it an amazing and enriching experience.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

At RVF International, what sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to our clients' well-being and satisfaction. We take great pride in ensuring that our clients are exceptionally well taken care of throughout their journey.

Our primary objective is to minimize the stress and maximize the enjoyment of the entire experience. We believe in making our clients feel supported and informed every step of the way, so they know they are never alone during the process. We are especially proud of our team when we see the positive impact we have on our clients' lives, helping them achieve their dreams while providing peace of mind and excellent service.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

The biggest factor in being a successful company, in my belief, is actively listening to your clients' feedback. It's essential to ensure that you are offering precisely what people need, rather than assuming what they might require from your services or products. This approach makes a significant difference in meeting and exceeding customer expectations and ultimately leads to long-term success.
