Best part about working at International Institute in Spain?
Colleagues are well-prepared, professional, and very willing
to share teaching ideas and materials. The "whole package"
of being a teacher there is very attractive, even though it's
only a part-time position. The historic building itself is a hidden gem in Madrid and worth visiting! Teachers have access to the Institute Library for teaching resources or their own personal enjoyment, with an extensive English collection of fiction and non-fiction materials often difficult to find in Madrid. English language periodicals available daily/weekly in their Library Reading Room, and there is a cafeteria on-site that caters to American study abroad students and faculty in the building. There is a full schedule of on-going cultural events in the auditorium such as concerts, book signings, and seminars, often related to North American culture.
Offer teacher training or development along with job?
There are several professional development workshops a year,
including a mini-TESOL. Instructors also get partial funding
to attend the annual TESOL-Spain conference.
Starters' average salary?
Qualified teachers make about 22 euros an hour, or around 668.88€ per 30-hour course carried out over 10 weeks. Teachers with Master's Degrees in related fields (Education, Language Teaching, Linguistics) begin at higher rate. |
The International Institute in Spain has been
one of Madrid's best kept secrets up till now. I hadn't heard
of them till 2004 even though they've been around for over a hundred
years. Where some schools exploit their almost non-existent infra-structure
in every and any way possible, these guys have got "the" incredible
"university-level" infra-structure without any of the corresponding
fame. (They do share their space with American institutions like
Boston University, Syracuse and SUNY.)
