Positively my last ever guide to finding teaching work in Argentina!
After my last post I received a comment from Russ in BA, asking if I could give him any help finding work in Salta. So here it is:
Although there were a few native speakers in Salta while I was there, all of the others had full-time jobs, which meant I was the only one available to take on extra classes. Hurrah!
The best thing to do is get a copy of the phone book, find the English institutes and visit all of them in turn, with a copy of your CV, between the hours of 5pm and 8pm. Some of them are open in the mornings, but all of them are open in the evenings. I got work very easily with Good News (Rivadavia 350) and IEI (Pasaje Zorrilla 239) and they were both very professional and enjoyable to work for.
Of course you can also advertise for private students by putting up adverts around town. Just remember that people in Salta expect to pay rather less for their classes than people in BA do! I only charged $12 pesos an hour, and even then most people were put off. (Or at least, they said they'd get back to me, then didn't.) However, if they want classes with a native, and you're the only one in town who's available, you get to set the price!
Finally, check out the English conversation group I started on Wednesdays at 9.30pm in Funes Bar (Dean Funes, between Caseros and Espana). As far as I know it's still going, and you may well meet potential students there.
Good luck!
