September 2018 – June 2019 and continuing

The Town

The town is small and quiet although in spring and summer there always seems to be something going on! There are plenty of bars and restaurants and the people here are really friendly.

Getting Around

You can get around the town quite easily on foot and most of it is flat. There´s a rail station and bus station which connect Andujar with Cordoba, Seville, Malaga and Madrid.

The School

The school is modern with interactive whiteboards and you have your own room to put your personal stamp on. There´s a lovely patio in the middle of the school which brings in lots of light.

Materials and Resources

There are so many materials to use! There is everything you could possibly need for every level.

The Staff

Everyone here is extremely helpful and professional. There is always someone on hand to help you or give you advice.

Students/Classes/Levels

You will probably be teaching a mixture of kids and teens and possibly exam classes. It means there´s plenty of variety in your week and you can gain a lot of experience teaching different groups.

Teacher Training

There is a lot of training both external and in house. You get plenty of opportunities to grow as a teacher and get new ideas to try.

Finding a Flat

I arrived Monday afternoon and by Tuesday afternoon, I was in my new flat! The process was so smooth and easy and there were a few flats to look at so it wasn´t just a case of having to take the first one I saw.

Cost of Living

It is a lot cheaper to live here than it does to live in some other Spanish cities. Water comes in at about 55 euros for 3 months, electricity about 70 every 2 months and gas just depends on the time of year and what you have connected to it. You can get a much bigger flat here than you could elsewhere for the same money.

Health Cover

It was easy to get set up with a doctor when I first arrived here. Cover is pretty similar to the UK but prescriptions are a lot cheaper! If you do need to go to the doctor, get the first appointment in the morning because they rarely run on time!
