Stretching from the Volcano Pichincha to the west and the steep canyon of the river Machangara in the east, Quito is divided into Old and New cities. The Old has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site based on its astounding colonial architecture, which takes full advantage of the regional timber and vegetation, while the New shines with modern office buildings and thriving businesses.

Our Training Center is in a very new part of Quito, with all of the conveniences of a modern capital. The city is right in the middle of the Andes (several nearby peaks provide stellar day trips), and its central location allows for plenty of weekend sightseeing in the rest of Ecuador. Nearby are opportunities to swim in the warm Pacific waters, visit colorful Indian markets, and witness some of the most magnificent active volcanoes in the world. Within the city itself, a very extensive network of public transportation allows for easy exploration of both the Old and New cities.

Qualifications: Successful LanguageCorps Teachers are true global citizens. They are comfortable with, and excited about, genuine intercultural exchange. They embrace opportunities to share their own cultural identity with others, and to immerse themselves in new and different worlds. While neither previous teaching experience nor foreign language skills are required, all Language Corps Teachers must possess excellent native-level English, a college degree, a valid passport; and must complete an application, interview, and background check.
