Buenos Aires

Length of Position: Flexible (1-12 months)

Description: We are in contact with several leading schools and non-profit organizations in Buenos Aires and have a wide range of opportunities in education available. Opportunities are available across all subject areas from Early Childhood Development through to Tertiary level. Opportunities include teaching and tutoring, helping with reading and literacy programs, teaching English, researching educational policy, mentoring students, leading life skills workshops, and assisting with the overall operations of schools and education programs.

Connect-123's teachers, who primarily work with disadvantaged youth, make a lasting, tangible impact on local communities.

Highlights: The birthplace of tango, the Paris of the South America, and home to two of the most passionately supported football clubs in the world, Buenos Aires is a city rich with culture, excitement, and adventure.

Program participants are overwhelmed with a choice of museums, street theater, live jazz and cafe orchestras, and will love the theaters and bookshops of the Avenida Corrientes. The city is also home to the 19th century Teatro Colon, as well known for its stunning architecture as for the renowned opera and ballet performances it has hosted. By contrast, small folk clubs called penas give visitors an insight into the music and dance of gaucho culture.

Further afield there are opportunities for whale watching, tours of the wine region, hiking in the Andes, and skiing in Bariloche. Make time for a trip to the dramatic landscape of Patagonia at the end of the world, or to experience the spectacular sight of the Iguazu Falls.

Connect-123 has a wealth of Buenos Aires information and offers a wide range of things to do to help students get the most of their time in Argentina. We're firm believers in the motto work hard and play even harder and we organize numerous social and cultural events for Connect-123 program participants throughout the year.

Qualifications: Whether you are a fully qualified teacher, studying Education, or you just have an interest in children and helping others to learn, we can match your skills and interests with the needs of our wide network of education partners in Buenos Aires.
