It can be an incredibly overwhelming process to move your life to another country, but with the help of RVF it is 100% attainable. Not only do they help you navigate all of the legal processes like getting a visa, but they are also there to aid in the housing search. They had me feeling prepared and excited for what was to come as an English teacher in Spain and I couldn’t imagine doing this without their support. This has been a great year living in Andalucía and I am excited to say that RVF is helping me in the renewal process to stay even longer!

My time as an English Auxiliary (RVF International) in Spain has been nothing short of fantastic. I am ethnically Spanish, but was adopted as a child, so this allowed me to get in touch with my roots. However, no one could have told me the extent to which I would fall in love with Spain and its people. Whether it’s tapas on the street, local dives, or beach trips to Alicante, everything is a lifetime adventure.
There are places online that talk about the school experience in a stressful light. In my experience, it was a great chance to grow alongside the kids. Quickly, we adapted to each other, and I’ll miss all of them as I leave the school in San Lorenzo in the coming weeks. The area around my school is stunning, as the monastery is an authentic Spanish treasure. I am a little sad that you can only be in one school for two years, as I’ve formed strong bonds with the students and faculty during my time here.
I came to Spain with a base level of Spanish that can only be achieved from an American High School. Needless to say, I wasn’t the strongest speaker. However, in Madrid, everyone was super nice and easy-going from the moment I stepped off the plane. My local alimentacion is run by a couple that speaks no English, but we crossed that divide and now check in with each other every few days if we don’t go to the store. While the city of Madrid offers the hustle and bustle and nightlife of a major city, it also has a sense of tranquility amongst the crowd.
This program is 110% recommended for people of all ages looking to immerse themselves in a new culture.

I genuinely can’t say enough good things about RVF International. From the very beginning, they were there every step of the way—helping me with applications, answering every question (even the ones I asked more than once 😅), and making the process of moving to Spain so much less intimidating.

They walked me through everything from visa documents to placement preferences, and the guidance they offered gave me the confidence to actually go through with such a huge life change. Now, I’m studying at Nebrija University, living in Spain, and truly living out something I once thought was just a dream.

If you’re thinking about teaching or studying abroad, I 100% recommend RVF. They don’t just place you—they support you. And that makes all the difference.

I have participated in the NALCAP program for two years. In the first year, I did it alone, but in the second year, I had the guidance of RVF. They were incredibly helpful and responsive, making the process much easier from start to finish. The city I was placed in was my top choice- lovely people, food, and nature in Cadiz, Spain. :) The students were respectful, and the staff at my school were supportive. Overall, a 10/10 experience that I highly recommend to anyone interested in teaching and language learning.

RVF is a great option for those who are looking to live and work in Spain. I first started out with RVF in 2022, where I got my first placement in northern Spain. They handled the visa process exceptionally well and made the transition to Spain comfortable and easy. Keep in mind, there is no housing provided, but they offer assistant in finding great living accommodations. I have recommended this company to close friends who have also enjoyed the services that are provided. It’s currently 2025, and I’m still enjoying my life here in Spain and look for to working with this company in the future.

For the past year, I have served as a language assistant in Cadiz, Spain. RVF International managed this process, and I could not be happier with their guidance and support. I am renewing my contract to teach in Madrid, Spain. I have been tutoring or teaching English to speakers of other languages since I was certified in 2022. At the same time, I felt that I truly needed to pursue a master's degree to complete my career transition from Corporate America to teaching. Yet again, RVF International has stepped up to the plate. They have begun an incredible new study abroad program, and I am so happy to announce that, with their invaluable assistance, I have been accepted to Nebrija University in Madrid, Spain to pursue a Master's in Bilingual Education in addition to serving as a language assistant at a high school. I could not be more grateful to RVF for their leadership. Thank you, RVF International and congratulations on this exciting new chapter!!!

I can’t thank RVF International enough for making my journey to Spain so seamless. They answered all of my questions no matter the hour, and also checked my documents before formal submission, ensuring everything was in order. Their support connected me with a community and took the stress off during the visa process. Everything was streamlined and made so consumable that I had zero issues from start to finish! I highly recommend their services for anyone wanting to do the Language Assistant Program in Spain.

I highly recommend RVF International to anyone wanting to take the plunge and move to Spain as an English Teaching Assistant. Especially if you aren't an experienced traveler or don't speak much Spanish, RVF will do wonders to help the transition for you to be seamless and so much less stressful. They help you with the annoying paperwork and prepare you for a new life in Spain. Their customer service team are so organized and lovely - I can't thank them enough! You won't regret choosing RVF International!
