Where Do I Learn How to Teach English in South America?Peru is one of the world's greatest centres of ancient civilization. Prior to the invasion by the Spanish Conquistadors, the country's diverse cultures and civilizations, that culminated in the well-known Inca Empire (Tawantinsuyo), were some of the most advanced in the world, and they left behind one of the richest collections of architecture, metallurgy, ceramics, and textiles known to man.Peru is located in the west central part of South America, and is the 19th largest country in the world. It shares borders to the north with Ecuador, to the south with Chile and Bolivia, and to the east with Columbia and Brazil. Peru's geography, climates, and cultures are diverse due to the natural variation of its regions, which include the coast, the Andes, and the Amazon jungle. Located in the south eastern Andes Mountains, Cusco sits at an altitude of 3,400 meters above sea level (11,000 ft.). Cusco is the historic capital of the Inca Empire and is the gateway to the sanctuary-city of Machupicchu. Indeed, Cusco is one of the most spectacular highlights of South America. Stately and historic, with stone streets and buildings that are built on foundations laid down by the Incas more than five centuries ago, Cusco is a mecca for South American adventurers and tourists, yet the city is one of those rare places able to preserve its unique character despite its prominence in international tourism. The Incas made "Q'osqo" (meaning "navel of the world" in Quechua) the religious, political, military, and cultural centre of their empire. Today, Cusco is a fascinating blend of pre-Columbian and colonial history and contemporary culture, and the city thrives as one of the most vibrant destinations in South America.

INTESOL Peru's onsite 4 Week TESOL 150-hour TESOL/TEFL course, the 4 Week TESOL, is geared toward people who prefer dynamic classroom interaction and the experience and insight that our onsite trainers provide. Located in the heart of Cusco, Peru's historical district, the 4 Week TESOL certificate prepares you as a professional ESL teacher, and is your first step to teaching English internationally - in Peru, South America, or anywhere else in the world you want to go. INTESOL Peru's Flexible TESOL course is intended for people who need the flexibility of studying at their own pace, but who still want the critical benefits of practical teaching in front of real ESL classes. You study the first half of the course via online-distance learning at your own pace, and then join us in Cusco or Arequipa for a 2 week face to face practical teaching module. Flexible TESOL course graduates receive the same certificates and credentials as the onsite course. Having a TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages)/TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate makes you a far more desirable candidate to schools and language institutes all over the world. English teaching is an increasingly competitive field where having the right TESOL/TEFL training and certification makes a significant difference in terms of how you are viewed as a teaching professional. Another important factor to consider is that more and more countries require accredited ESL teaching credentials for work visa approval. INTESOL Peru offers both onsite and hybrid onsite-online courses that meet the highest standards and equip you with the necessary tools to succeed in your career as a professional ESL teacher. Following the TESOL/TEFL course you will be able to confidently teach English to both adults and young learners, including large groups and one-on-one classes.
