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

I can't recommend RVF International enough for anyone looking to teach Spain. RVF is comprised of a team of knowledgeable individuals who go above and beyond to help applicants through the visa application process, settling in and documentation processes in-country. The company provided me with lists of the documentation I needed, made appointments, and answered questions promptly throughout my time in the country. My experience with RVF was phenomenal! They helped me through all the documentation work, translations and much more. So, if you want to teach in Spain without the hassle of figuring out the paperwork/appointment side of things, RVF International is a great company to go through!

I live down in La Linea de la Concepcion, which is a very unique international community connected to Gibraltar (UK).
I have personally recommended RVF International to ALL of my teacher friends looking to live abroad and explore options for a new livelihood.
RVF has made the transition from US life to Spain life very simple and smooth, especially considering Spanish bureaucracy can be a NIGHTMARE for the uninitiated.
It's definitely worth the price to allow a third-party contractor to ease the navigation of law and services.
For your own self care, definitely be in the process of practicing Spanish (Castellano), but remember it's a diverse country so your language might not match theirs (especially in Andalucia). It's no shame to find yourself in a native language community, find some friends from your country, and have a good group of support even if your plan is "full immersion": the exhaustion from just starting life anew can be A LOT to handle, not to add language on top of.

Spanish people are incredibly loving and communal, so feel inclined to embrace the culture, as many people are happy to share, and appreciate YOUR appreciation of all they call home.

RVF is easily one of the best companies out there. They have thought of everything (EVERYTHING). From the minute you join the program, they are ready to assist you in any way they can. All their material is incredibly informative and everyone is highly knowledgeable, helping you with things that you don't know about/would never cross your mind. The competence, speed, and joy of the people at RVF is undeniable. Without them, I never would have been able to navigate the process of teaching in Spain, from the paperwork to settling in. Cannot recommend them enough. Best decision I've ever made!

Teaching abroad in Madrid has been a mind broadening as well as a pallet expanding opportunity I am grateful to have had. Had it not been for the RVF team I would not be here today. If I had to do it all on my own I don't think today I would be in the center of Madrid amidst the bountiful culture and perfect opportunities to grow myself in ways not previously imaginable. Leaving your family and friends can be a struggle, but this experience makes it worth your while. You'll go home to your family and friends with new knowledge, an understanding of another culture, and fresh new perspectives. All in all I know this was the right decision and it may be for you too. Thanks again RVF International!

I genuinely do not think that I could've turned my dream into a reality without RVF International. Since my Junior year in college, I have been trying to find a way to live and explore Spain due to Covid-19 canceling my study abroad plans. It took some years but I stumbled across RVF International as I was looking for “teaching abroad in Spain” jobs and the moment I told them I was interested they immediately reached out informing me I was a good candidate for the program. As there is a placement fee that you have to pay, I can assure you that if it is your first time leaving your home country, IT IS WELL WORTH IT!!!

Any time I have had a question RVF International support always responded with solutions within 24 hours. If the inquiry required more than a quick email, they would schedule a zoom call to go more in-depth. As living in a new country requires a fair share of legal documentation, RVF regularly schedules zoom calls, group meetings, detailed pdf documents/ powerpoints, and reminder emails from start to finish of the entire moving process. They also serve as a middleman to aid future language assistants with the more difficult task such as scheduling Spanish id appointments, finding potential housing, travelers insurance, and official translation of legal documents.

Moving abroad is not an easy task no matter how experienced one may be. As someone with anxiety, RVF helped me throughout the entire process and made me feel comfortable and confident whenever there may have been an obstacle with documentation. I could not be more grateful for the support that I have to received and currently still do that has enabled me to turn my dreams into a reality. As a result, I have acquired more opportunities for myself on an international scale. If you have ever dreamed of living life in Spain, exploring Europe, and gathering professional teaching experience, take a leap of faith with RVF international. You won't regret it!

I highly recommend this program to teach in Spain. RVF will help you with any bureaucratic procedures both before and after arrival, the big two being securing your visa and residence permit. The workload is pretty light, as you only work 16 hours a week, 4 days a week. The pay grade varies between 700-1000 euros per month but just about everything here is significantly cheaper than in the United States which makes living here great. I never thought I would be this happy teaching Elementary school English. You can also be placed in high schools as well if that age group is more up your alley for teaching. Overall, I recommend this program for anyone looking to teach in Spain.

I highly recommend RVF International if you are interested in teaching English in Spain! All team members provide utmost customer service. They assist every step of the way to help make your transition to Spain as smooth as possible. They are always available to answer questions, help manage any challenges, and provide direct support to help you along throughout the process. This program is a once in a lifetime opportunity made easy by the effort and attentiveness of such an incredible team. Lourdes and Sandra have been particularly helpful and I have been provided nothing but support and care throughout this entire journey. I truly don't think I would have been able to navigate or participate in this program without their extensive help. Thank you RVF!!

Most of the rateing questions here have anything to do with what RVF actually has influence over. Their website is deceptive as they claim to be a "program" when they are in fact not. They are just a service that helps you apply for Spain's NALCAP program, yet they don't mention NALCAP on their website. You can actually apply for it directly yourself and save your money and get plently of application help from the NALCAP FB community.

RVF: Deceptive, dismissive, condescending team wants your $$
