Dear Mr./Mrs,
I am an English teacher from Albania, who finished Undergraduate studies in Belgrade, Serbia in language, literature and culture, including Spanish and English language. I have been teaching online and in person to children and teenagers for 3 years now. I also have a TEFL certificate. I saw that not all nationalities are selected for the program. Is it true? Or, can I also apply for job offer? Thank you in advance!
Sincerely,
Elisa Hajkola

You can check whether you meet these requirements on page 4 in our Program Information Dossier: https://www.conversaspain.com/documents/ConversaSpain24-25.pdf. Have a great day!

Hi there, I’m from the Philippines, I am interested to apply into this program. But I would like to ask first if my application will be valid even if I don’t have an IELTS/CEFR Exam Certification or these certification is a must?
