The TEFL materials that we use have been designed and written by TESOL/TEFL professionals and specialists. We believe that it is important to constantly be updating and adding new materials as education is evolving everyday, especially around games, videos, audios and other digital supports. 

Our academic coordinator and TEFL course instructors are constantly expanding and creating new and improved materials to keep up with the latest innovations in the world of teaching English as a second language. All materials are included in the cost of the course and will become useful resources for all students in their English teaching journey during and after the course. 

Our TEFL team consists of highly qualified instructors and academic coordinators who have years of experience teaching the English language to learners and are TEFL and TESOL certified. All instructors have experience teaching all levels and ages of learners so that they can appropriately prepare all students for success. Classes are structured to cover all aspects of English linguistics and skills so that students are constantly completing new objectives and advancing their knowledge. 

Vamos Academy offers various great accommodation options for all of its students. We offer family homestay options as well as accommodation in our private apartment, located just 5 minutes away from the school on the beautiful Las Condes neighborhood.

One of the best places in Santiago de Chile! 

All of the families that we work with who provide homestays for our students have many years of experience. We have personally visited all of the homes of the hosts that we work with to ensure that they are all well equipped in order to meet our standards. All of our accommodation options are located in the best parts of Santiago de Chile such as the neighborhoods of Providencia and Vitacura. Learn more about all of our accommodation options here. 

Our students will need to leave mornings available to study, plan classes, and/or teach practice classes. However, it is possible to take Spanish group or private classes during the first two weeks of the TEFL course. Vamos TEFL is a very intensive program, especially as we approach the second two weeks of class. We generally advise our students that you keep the last two weeks of the course commitment free!
