Costa Rica TEFL Jobs in Costa Rica


Most Jobs in Costa Rica are located in San José, which is a major city in the center of the country. You may be lucky enough to secure a teaching position at one of the beach locations, or in Monteverde, but given the desirability of those areas, you'll probably need a little patience! Peak hiring season in Costa Rica is from May to September. Language schools at this time are desperate for teachers, and there aren't usually enough to go around. The period from November to mid January is quieter, but with a little persistence it shouldn't be difficult to find employment at this time.
