TeachingChile is Awesome

I owe so much gratitude to TeachingChile for the opportunity. From the first day of inquiry via telephone, through the visa process, assisting me with slightly daunting Chilean RUT number acquisition, through ongoing support I received during my time in Chile. When I needed help from TeachingChile, I got it...pronto.
In addition to what I mentioned above, TeachingChile helped with other needs during my tenure in Chile: (1) When I had a bronchial infection, Andrea made an appointment for me with the doctor, accompanied me, translated everything and made sure the medications I bought at the pharmacy were correct. And she followed up with me nearly everyday (plus TeachingChile had a discount pre-arranged for me, which saved me some money), (2) when I asked Bruce for advice on where to buy some specialty food items, he not only suggested the locations, but met with me and took me to various places--a two hour "tour" of great places to buy special things that only the "locals" know, (3) when I lost my cell phone, Bruce was able to replace it for me with in 24 hours, reactivate my same cell phone number, and deliver it to me ASAP, and (4) I had several packages sent to me from family and friends--to Bruce's personal address in Chile--and he promptly advised me of receipt and subsequently delivered to me the next day. Amazing!!
I also had loved the monthly newsletters that TeachingChile sent me. And I did win one of the prizes: a dictionary of the "Chilenismos" which provided me great learning and hilarious fun with my Chilean friends.
Outside of teaching, I found the country of Chile fantastic, the Chilean people extraordinarily friendly, the city of Santiago a very safe place to live, pleasant weather, and access to healthy food shopping beyond my wildest expectations. I highly recommend Chile and also the TeachingChile company as well as a great, professional, responsive company that has made this all possible for me.
Muchas Gracias TeachingChile!
