We offer a unique opportunity to gain the TEFL teaching skills, exams preparation training, and knowledge of English language strategies that schools all around the world value and seek in their teachers. Our commitment to you is rigorous, supportive professional development to help you achieve your goals as a qualified international teacher.

In return, we ask for your 100% commitment to OLC, our students and your development as a teacher. We expect our staff to demonstrate the professionalism, respect, and determination required in any teaching environment. We are a team and we seek teachers who share our goal of the highest-quality classes in Guatemala. We regard our teachers as integral members of our team and we want you to contribute your ideas and perspective as we encourage our students to advance.

* Our Professional Promise 
We offer a 10 month renewable contract as a full-time teacher earning a base salary of Q6,500 ($880) for 125 contact hours per month working Monday to Saturday, with the option of earning 
Q60 to Q80 ($8 to $10) per hour for any hours you work above and beyond this base contract.

OLC teachers have varying schedules, with classes scheduled between 7am and 8pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 3pm on Saturday.

* Our In-House Teacher Development Program 
A valuable benefit to working with OLC is the training you receive, that will help your marketability around the world. Over the course of your contract, you receive an Oxford Language Center 100+ hour International Exam Preparation Course which includes:

50+ hours of small group and one-to-one instruction in the most popular and prestigious exams taken by students around the world, like the TOEFL, IELTS, SAT, ACT, GRE and GMAT

40+ hours of self study with provided materials to continually improve your comfort and effectiveness in the classroom

10+ hours of observed classes with practical feedback and demo classes with OLC staff to try new skills

As part of OLC, you can also take, free of charge, our training courses on Test Prep Math (for the SAT, ACT, GRE and GMAT, 120 hours total) and our College Admissions course (how to help students get into the best programs for their futures and how to win scholarships, 30 hours total). Finally, you will participate in student preparation for the the internationally-recognized Cambridge English exams, including the important administration and logistical considerations in carrying out successful, school-wide initiatives.
