Vaughan Systems Agency in Madrid and Spain.

Vaughan Systems is "the" local master in marketing. You often see this agency in magazines, newspapers and on TV programmes, and their recent acquisition of "Vaughan radio station" has many in Madrid marvelling at what a wonderful company Vaughan Systems is and has helped to grow their client numbers and warm the hearts of Spaniards. http://www.vaughanradio.com

  

In 2008, Vaughan created the first digital English language-learning TV channel in the country, with 24-hour broadcast of their teaching method. A first in history: http://www.aprendeingles.com.

Over 180 printed and registered in-house educational publications based on the Vaughan method. Each can be used by both teacher and student.

Vaughan Systems is one of the best starting teachers' agencies to work at in Madrid. You don't need a TEFL or CELTA course, which cuts way down on your start-up expenses, and you don't need any prior teaching experience.

However, if you've got some experience in the business world, so much the better, and if you've got a dynamic, outgoing personality, you're a shoo-in. In any case, for inexperienced teachers, the best part about working at Vaughan is the method or "approach" which they employ which seems to be a variety of the "Audio-Lingual Method". A good point of reference are the "Streamline" textbooks. (When this method is employed in an effective manner by an engaging teacher with a willing student, it is just as powerful as any other.)

Have good materials support, photocopier? Most of their classes are off-site, but each teacher does get the agency's own self-produced books. Have "Director of Studies" support? Aindrias Fitzgerald, Natasha Pascua and Marta Martinez are all available to support teachers Employment Information: How many teachers do they hire per year? Vaughan Systems has around 300 teachers working on their staff and they took on 150 in 2008. Vaughan has high demand throughout the year. Cuzco Photos Qualification requirements for employment? Teachers don’t need a TEFL Certification but they do require a university degree and/or business experience. In fact, they prefer that you not have a TEFL certificate because they have their own method, which requires that they "de-construct" TEFLers and re-train them.

Experience requirements for employment? They prefer at least a year of full-time experience in the business world. Hire at a distance? They conduct interviews in Madrid and in London. Hire Americans and do their papers? This agency does not do anybody's papers, but it does hire non-EU citizens if they already have them, through dual nationality with a European Union country, a previous work permit, etc.). Preference for British or Americans? None apparently. Best part about working at Vaughan Systems? According to Aindrias: "Our teaching method." However, given how expensive it is for new teachers to move to another country and the fact that Madrid itself is getting so much more expensive these days, I would say that the best thing about going to work for Vaughan Systems is that you can eliminate the initial TEFL course expense and go straight into teaching and making what is probably the best pay you'll be able to make without the kinds of contacts that you can only make when you've lived and worked in one place for years. Offer teacher training or development along with job? A two-week initial training course and ongoing developmental support. Starters' average salary? New freelance teachers at this agency make 19.90 euros per hour or 23.90 if you work Saturdays. The top hourly rate for veteran teachers is 29 euros per hour. Quite a few teachers are getting 40+ hours per week of classes. The average hours worked by full-time teachers is between 30 and 35 hours per week. Vaughan Systems also has some contract work for specific programmes (details available when you apply). Vaughan also offers the possibility to work on a government sponsored university program where teachers can up in excess of 3,000 euros per month, while travelling Spain.
