The capital of Costa Rica, San Jose is located in the Central Valley, a fertile basin 3,773 feet above sea level. On the hillsides and near the volcanoes surrounding San Jose you will find quaint villages, rolling pastures, small farms, and vast coffee plantations.

In the basin itself lays the San Jose metro area. The bustling city is home to an extensive variety of cultural and social options, including museums, theaters, restaurants, and neighborhood markets. Live music, trendy bars, and dance clubs vibrating with tropical rhythms are all vital parts of San Jose's active nightlife. In addition, the city's central location is a great starting point for adventures to any part of beautiful Costa Rica. As a TEFL trainee or English teacher, you’ll find that San Jose has an ideal mix of capital city amenities and relaxed “Tico” attitude.

TEFL Course Description
TEFL graduates will finish the course with a better understanding of the English language, practical experience with a variety of teaching techniques, and confidence in the classroom. All of the TEFL programs we represent include essential course content, teaching practice with real language learners, classroom observation of experienced teachers, and several written assignments.

These comprehensive courses are designed for candidates with no previous English teaching experience, but are also suitable for those who have some experience but no formal training in the TEFL field.

The nearly perfect picture of political democracy, economic stability, and natural beauty, Costa Rica is a great place to visit and to live. English language proficiency is a valued skill in a country which puts such great stock in its tourism industry as does the small but attractive nation of Costa Rica. EFL students here range from school children, to university students, to adult professionals.

TEFL teachers will find that jobs are easiest to come by in San Jose and the surrounding areas. And because the capital and its environs are less touristy than other parts of Costa Rica, they often have a lower cost of living, allowing an English teacher’s salary to provide a satisfying lifestyle. Teachers can also take on private EFL students to supplement their incomes in order to save money or to travel the stunning and friendly nation of Costa Rica in their time off.
