Review

I had just come from teaching English in Thailand and wanted a challenge. Wow, was Colombia a challenge! When I got my city assignment I was initially a little nervous as I was going to be in one of the smallest cities they had teachers in. Arriving and speaking no Spanish was a challenge, and I found it really hard to adjust to the culture for some reason. However, due to the AMAZING support of the teachers I was surrounded by and the amazing coordinators, I stuck it out and fell so much in love with the country that I extended my contract for another semester and now live there part-time permanently. I can't recommend Colombia enough and teaching English there. Literally, if any part of you wants to do it, DO IT NOW. It's so incredibly rewarding and the experiences I had there have made me who I am today.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
