Guatemala is a Central American country south of Mexico with a population of almost 16 million, which makes it the most populous nation on the isthmus. There are TEFL jobs advertised in Guatemala throughout the year. There are voluntary positions and jobs with a competitive local salary at the language schools. Better paid positions are available at independent schools, colleges and universities. Some teachers and travellers have stayed on to do intensive-Spanish courses with Guatemalan families, giving them the chance to further explore the beautiful country. You should check which vaccinations you might need if you are going to live in Guatemala.
