Teaching in Costa Rica
Exactly two years ago, I came to Costa Rica to teach English as a Second Language to 7th-11th graders in one of Liberia's best private schools. For ten months I found this position both engaging and challenging. It also served as a conduit for bigger and better things to flow into my life -- some of the people I met on the job have become my greatest friends.
FAQs
Can I work in Costa Rica?
Yes, but it can be challenging to find legal employment as Costa Rican law strives to protect its citizens by securing as many local jobs as possible. However, it may be possible to obtain a work permit with local companies, such as bilingual schools or international corporations. Another option is to work online as a telecommuter for a company based outside of Costa Rica.
