Life in Madrid as an English Teacher

After years of teaching English in Istanbul,I had always dreamt of going abroad once I retired. For this reason, I did a lot of research for about 2 or 3 years on how I could go to a European country. I had many questions marks in my mind, such as what I could do, which jobs I could apply for, or in which country I could work. Finally, I found an amazing opportunity through Canterbury English on LinkedIn which has changed my life completely for the better. If you want to do the same like me, look no further! At first it seemed like a very compelling idea. I put a lot of emphasis on issues such as learning Spanish and getting a student visa. But thanks to Richard, everything went very well. Richard and his team helped me during difficult times especially the visa procedures. That's why I got a response that exceeded my expectations. I had already noticed that other Spanish courses were much more expensive and had less support. This motivated me even more.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?

Amazing journey

Enrolling in Canterbury English's Madrid Lifestyle+TEFL program was an amazing journey. Richard's support and guidance from Lawyer Paola Altez ensured a smooth visa application process. Throughout my time with Canterbury English, their exceptional support remained consistent. They were always ready to assist with any challenges, providing necessary documents and valuable advice. While securing a teaching schedule requires personal effort, Canterbury offers valuable assistance. In November 2023, I relocated to Madrid through Canterbury's program. The experience exceeded my expectations with its comprehensive Spanish lessons, teaching enhancements, and enriching cultural experiences. Thanks to Canterbury's dedication, my experience was deeply fulfilling, and I highly recommend their programs

A new adventure

In my opinion, you must absolutely join the beautiful family of Canterbury English! I have a lot of reasons to say so; joining this beautiful family has transformed my life for the better.
I am from a non-English speaking country. First of all, Canterbury English have had confidence in my abilities as a teacher without prejudice in spite of me being a non-native speaker. What they are really looking for is talent; for me, this is a factor that distinguishes Canterbury English. I used to teach at university before coming to Spain, but I needed a change in my life, a new adventure and CE have become the key in making this big change in my life.
During the process of me arriving in Spain, they were extremely supportive in the visa process. They specified each specific action to take to obtain the visa without any problem. They were easily contacted in the case of any problem and were extremely friendly. I could obtain the visa in a very short time as the result of the perfect guidance from CE.
From the time when I arrived in Spain until now, they have been like a family to me, trying to resolve problems I have encountered whether regarding opening a bank account or getting empadronamiento ( which is extremely important in Spain ) or finding students to support myself. Richard, the founder, is a true citizen of the world, very friendly, approachable and supportive.
I am happy that I am living in this beautiful country, with the Canterbury English family. I now can speak Spanish at advanced level ( a language I didn't speak even a bit before coming here ) and am experiencing the beautiful Spanish culture. All this has been made possible thanks to Canterbury English!
Now I have been with CE for almost 3 years and I can speak a new language in addition to English and my native language, know a lot of good people and my life has been more exciting. The experience of each person must be different when they make a change in their lives; for me, coming to Spain through CE has been a rewarding and fulfilling experience.

Great program - come to Spain!

I've recently started the Madrid Lifestyle program with Canterbury English. CE has provided a lot of helpful information and it makes the transition to Spain so much easier. The group excursions on Saturdays are interesting and fun and a great way to meet others. I'm loving my Spanish classes and there is a lot of work teaching English in Spain.
Madrid is a beautiful and vibrant city and Canterbury Madrid Lifestyle program has made it possible for me to live here and have an amazing new adventure.
You can do it too!
