Great Program for First Timers--Exceeded Expectations

TeachingChile was a great experience. I did the program for one semester in 2011 and taught university students. The students were great, the job was fairly easy and the city was a nice place to live. I had a great experience living with local Chileans, and I felt the pay was good enough to cover my living expenses. However, flying to Chile can be pretty expensive, so you'll definitely want to save up before leaving. I'd also recommend bringing a decent amount of money to live off of before your first paycheck arrives. I was never paid late, and Andrea was always there to answer any questions or assist me with whatever I needed. Overall, a fun, safe first step into teaching abroad. I highly recommend TeachingChile.
