Job Description

Greenheart Travel's Teach English in Colombia program offers a unique opportunity to work abroad in South America.

Responding to the Colombian government’s goal to integrate English education for all by 2020 and recognizing the importance of the English language as key to the country’s development and success in today’s global world, Colombia has launched a bilingualism initiative.

Our program works with Colombian public institutions, with students from disadvantaged backgrounds, in order to attempt to raise their English levels and proficiency. Learning English is a gateway to careers and jobs outside of what some of these students might have access to without this education. This program aims to make a big impact in each community where teachers are placed, as well as in each student’s life.

Next teaching position start dates: July 2017 – November 30, 2017
