To achieve this we customise our programs, hire the best English teachers on the market and train them to give them the personal Pueblo Inglés touch to fit the client’s needs.
Many of you may have heard of our company because we have been running “Pueblo Inglés” programs since July of 2001. Thanks to over 8,000 English native volunteers, students and business people from all over Spain have practiced “real English” in our beautiful countryside venues: Valdelavilla, La Alberca, Cazorla, Pals and Umbria. For the past four years we have also been successfully running other programs for which we need and hire English teachers.
 These are the following:
 One
to One and Group classes, In-company and private classes
We assess our clients’ needs in order to provide the most appropriate program whether it is in-company (Madrid centre and outskirts) or at our offices in central Madrid. (Metros Ruben Dario, Iglesia or Gregorio Marañon). The classes are either one to one or in a group of maximum 6 per class.
Executive
Masters in English:
The main objective of the Masters program is to help the students master the language in the following areas: speaking, writing, listening and reading. This is achieved through a 10-month program that includes classes in groups of a maximum of 6 students, personal study time and two full-immersion programs in Pueblo Inglés (total of 16 days).
There are 2 formats:
Weekends: Fridays from 4pm to 9:15pm and Saturdays
from 9:15am to 2:30pm
Weekday: Monday to Wednesday from 7-10pm.
Seminars:
Throughout the year, we organise specialised courses for medium to large groups (from 6 to 12 students). These courses are taught in-company or to private groups in the Madrid offices. These are some of the areas we cover:
CONFERENCE CALLS - THE LANGUAGE OF NEGOTIATIONS - BUSINESS WRITING - MEETINGS IN ENGLISH - BUSINESS VOCABULARY - SOCIAL ENGLISH - PRESENTATIONS - PRONUNCIATION SKILLS - INTENSIVE LISTENING PRACTICE - GRAMMAR EXPRESS - ENGLISH FOR I.T. PROFESIONALS.

-
Monthly workshops for all the teachers. Continuous follow-up and support from the Academic Director, available by email and for meetings upon request.
FAQ’s:
Do I need to speak Spanish?
No, in fact we prefer that our teachers have a low level of Spanish or do not speak it at all. Teachers with a high level tend to translate in class, which is detrimental to the students’ listening comprehension and learning of vocabulary.
Do we
contract non–EU workers?
Due to the complexity of this process and the fact that, unless you have an EU residence permit, it is nearly impossible, and we do not hire teachers from countries other than the European Union.
When will work be available?
- In-company classes: The core of the classes go from September or October until the end of June or July. Nevertheless, depending on demand, courses can start anytime during the year. January is also one of the peak moments of the year.
-
We have groups of the different Masters programs starting in: February, April, June, October.
-
Seminars: Throughout the year.
-
Residential Courses, "Villa Inglesa": Almost every week and weekend throughout the year, including the summer.
-
Kids and Teens: summer months and some weekends.
What is a typical class like?
Our classes vary, but usually they are one-to-one or small groups. The students tend to be middle-aged professionals working in multinational companies. Some classes are intensive, but most last from September to July.
How do I get paid?
You will bill us at the end of the month for the hours that you have taught, as external suppliers - autonomos. This means that you are responsible for paying your own Social Security (between 150€ and 210€ a month). Taxes are automatically deducted at 7% or 15% when you bill us.
Do I have to be an autónomo or can I work under a contract?
All of our teachers work as "autónomos" (freelance) because they rate per hour is higher, even after paying social security.

Most of the classes are taught in companies such as Siemens, Indra, Alcatel, Steelcase, Chevrolet, Cosmopolitan, Accenture, Heineken, etc.
Have good materials support, photocopier?
Have photocopier and use the best books available on the market. Teachers can use 2 computers in the staffroom to connect to the internet.
Have "Director of Studies" (DOS) support?
Dougal Quin is the full-time Masters Co-ordinator, and he is always available to advise teachers with anything academically related. As well as co-ordinating the Masters he also works on new materials to be used in the classroom. We also have a Director of Studies – Colby Price, who sets up the students' study plans, which teachers are then expected to follow. Teachers present and practice each language point in order of difficulty (easy to difficult), using primarily an interactive audio-lingual methodology, though teachers have a little freedom to use their own materials to present each language point.
VIPs on staff?
Thrice-published Irish author Donald Ruane.

|
Hire at a distance?
No, though generally they interview candidates first by phone and then face-to-face in person. They hire a lot of teachers direct from abroad via their marketing network, which attracts literally 1,000s of volunteer teachers from abroad to their English villages where students from all over the world study English intensively. In fact, they would prefer that teachers first teach in one of the villages before they actually teach in-company classes in Madrid.
Hire Americans and do their papers?
No. However, if teachers qualify, Pueblo Inglés will help them through the process, which "is nearly impossible."
Preference for British or Americans? Why?
None. Require only native or totally bilingual teachers. However, it's the clients' requests that matter most. If a client requests a particular accent, Pueblo Inglés does its best to comply.
Estimated teachers hired yearly:
Currently have 30 full-time and 20 part-time teachers. Turnover is low as very few teachers leave.
Teachers at Pueblo Inglés for over 4 years?
N/A as the company-class department has only been in operation for a few years.
Number of students:
Over 2,000.
Best part about working at Pueblo Inglés:
The best recommendation that can be given to Pueblo Inglés is that their own teachers give them a lot of word-of-mouth and attract other teachers there. It's a good company which provides a lot of support for their teachers, and which has a very good relationship with them. They feel like they are a part of a company in which all of the parts are inter-connected and equally important.
Of course, the staff makes every effort to get their client companies to block their hours, and not demotivate teachers by sending them on 3-hour bus rides just to do hour-long classes.
Other Benefits?
Teachers who stick around a second year get better blocks and salaries, depending on the evaluations and management of administrative tasks such as handing in papers at the end of every month. Pueblo Inglés respects seniority and people who do a good job. There are also good prospects for promotion.
Offer teacher training or development along with
job?
Yes, there's a one week 40-hour training program with an additional 10-hours of classroom practice.
Starters' average salary?
Teachers make between 19 and 24 euros an hour depending on a number of factors such as experience of the teacher and location and length of the classes.
