At our school, the focus is on communicative work, utilizing learner-centered activities. While we have educational topics to cover, we are not bound by a single method, rigid lesson plan, or fixed course structure. Instead, we promote language and cultural exchange through dynamic activities and genuine human interaction. We prioritize language acquisition over traditional language learning, as defined by Stephen Krashens Natural Approach.
Recognizing that language emerges through human interaction, our school operates as a bilingual living and learning center, with groups led by native speakers of the target culture. We value each instructors unique teaching style, trusting in their ability to foster strong relationships within the group and inspire a natural desire for communication.
A minimum commitment of one year is required. Classes are kept small, with groups ranging from 4 to 12 students at most.

Please mention that you found the job on Teast for the school's reference.
📌 Please review the requirements to teach English in Brazil before you start applying for teaching positions. If the job post specifies "NES" or "Native English Speaker", it typically means applicants are required to be from one of the following countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa. However, in some cases, this may indicate a preference rather than a strict requirement.
⏳ Due to the high number of applications the schools receive they may not be able to respond to every application. If you don't hear back from them within a week or so, it's best to move on to the next job.
⚠️ When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy anything which they then pay you back for later. NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. Scams in TEFL are rampant, be careful!
