If you are going to visit Argentina and wish to teach English there than you should know some important things that can help you to find a good teaching job.

Appearance
Presentation and Physical appearance are very important in Argentinean culture. The television persistently produces images of good-looking, slender young people, and with relation to teaching, you will do well to dress yourself professionally in a suit or in attire that makes you look like a teacher and not like a tourist. This sounds unimportant, but if you go to a job interview dressed in a pair of shorts or in sandals, the schools will not take you seriously, and neither will the students.

Certificates
It is beneficial to have teaching qualifications, for instance a TEFL certificate, but these are not required all of the time. A number of schools to be recommended teach business English, so you will be probable to teach business executives and employees, frequently in locations outside of the city.

Payment
With regard to payment, you must not expect to make as much as Japan or the Emirates. Generally you are paid about 500 pesos a month, and it is up to you to find accommodation. For a lot of English teachers, this means living in a hostel, as apartments are hard to find. As the majority of foreign teachers are illegal and do not work with a visa, you will have to travel outside the country every three months to renovate your tourist status. The lack of support can be frustrating, and if you can it is recommended to learn Spanish. Though a lot of local portenos still can cheat you with prices, at least it allows you to get access to the culture and avoid being cheated greatly.

Buenos Aires includes the majority of the work opportunities in Argentina. But if you are interested in the other cities, Mendoza and Cordoba have also a number of language schools.

The final and the most important advice to foreign teachers wanting to teach in Argentina is to be flexible in the face of adversity and have your return ticket paid for being embarking upon your journey to the Argentine Republic.
