Sorry, Cazzy, couldn't resist correcting your mistakes.  Once a teacher, always a teacher!

Don't shoot the messenger, I didn't write it!!!!

Sorry, Cazzy.  I guess you were just being kind enough to let us all know there's a great job on offer. Actually, it's the sort of job I'd love but the fact that the ideal candidate should be over 18 but 'younger applicants will be considered' makes me feel I'm far too old (59). I'll just have to undertake that TEFL course I've been promising myself since I took early retirement from teaching here in the UK a few years ago.  Like many teachers in our system here...I was just too worn out to carry on!

 No upper age limit - apply if you want, They just thought it was more of a student job, as only short term and in the holidays. Are you living in Spain at the moment?

Not in Spain at the moment...but we (hubby and I) spend several months of the year there.  Although it's great not to have to do anything whilst we're there, I love the idea of teaching English to Spanish children.  I have been looking into the idea of doing a TEFL course and teaching English to Spanish-speaking children/teenagers.  It's something I've done before in England. It's also a great way of improving my Spanish! Where, exactly, is the job?

 Near to Estepa in Sevilla province.
