- Hello! My name is Sarah and I am in LOVE with teaching!
I JUST moved to Spain with a Program called Meddeas. **DISCLAIMER: I haven’t started my first full week of teaching yet - that will be next week! BUT I have a few tips for you if you have recently moved or even THOUGHT about teaching abroad. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments! Enjoy!
Let's connect on social!

Do you need ESL lessons to get started?
Here are the lessons I created while I lived in Spain: www.teacherspa...
I’m a junior in high school & teaching English abroad in Spain is my dream✨ thank you for the videooo
So good to hear, Maria! You are going to do great ❤️
Totally agree that experiences will vary! I’ve taught in 4 different Spanish programs and each experience was very different.
Amazing! Which one was your favorite?
@@AllSwartzOfLearning definitely working at an American international school
I hope you are safe if you are still there. Currently doing duolingo I'm currently an English teacher in Central Europe and was considering Spain. I have been researching your company. Great video!
Good to hear! I really enjoyed my time with Meddeas.
I just applied! I am planning on following up- I'm so excited!!
Good luck!!!
I'm happy I found a video with someone bringing their husband or s/o.
Girl, I feel ya! The other members in my program were all single, but it is possible!
Me too! We are planning on going as soon as we can manage it!
Loved this! Keep it up 👍
Thanks Andy!
@@AllSwartzOfLearning No worries!
Hey, just got accepted by this program. I am looking for past alum to talk to from the US about their experience. Do you remember how you paid the deposit? Since we're outside the EU they said it's more complicated 😅 would love to hear what you did.
I love your video!! I've studied abroad in SAN SEBASTIAN the same time that you did this and had friends study in Bilbao, they mentioned they were going to the Red Bull cliff jumping too!! how awesome!! I had a question, I'm interested in this program but is the homestay and apartment housing both free?? Thanks so much
Hey there! The housing is not free. Members in the program can choose to find their own accommodations or stay with a host family - which I think is cheaper, but either way you have to pay.
Hey.. How did you bring your husband to Spain? And is he your dependent? Can he work in Spain too?
Love the vid!! Just a quick question about the Meddeas program. Did you find out what city you were teaching in before or after you accepted the position? My boyfriend is wanting to get his Masters in Barcelona and I would ideally want to be in the same city as he is!
I found out my city before leaving. I also wasn’t super picky about where they put me but you can give your preferences.
Hi! Is the pay enough to get an apt instead of a host family ?
If you have a budget, anything is possible ;)
Thank you for your video! Are you planning on living in Spain long term?
Hi there, I am not planning on living in Spain long term. It was a dream of mine to live abroad and I did that!
Would you please help me in applying process, i have just applied and send them my cv in meddeas
I am looking into a similar program and want to bring my husband and son with me. Was it easy to get a dependent visa?
Hi Salena! We were never able to get a visa for my husband.
Hi Sarah! How was your schedule like? Did you have hour gaps.
I taught for 5 hours every day. I rotated hour long sessions with each grade 4/5/5/6/6.
I also taught a lunch hour twice a week.
Did you get TEFLA certified?
I got TEFL certified through Meddeas.
I am planning on doing the same program but what type of visa would my spouse have to get?
La de cornudo, que pruebe esa. Jaja
We weren’t able to get my husband a visa…
Did you get TEFLA certified?
I got TEFL certified through Meddeas!
Awesome! I have my second interview on Friday with MEDDEAS. I am currently getting certified with Tefl with the 11 week course and will also be certified with MEDDEAS if they accept me. Did they help you with your student visa and find housing?
