Alicante city is the best option for finding work. Business level English is a necessary skill for most companies. I attend business English courses at the Cámara de Comercio (Chamber of Commerce) Alicante. English is my first language, they are always happy to have a native English speaker in the class. I attend to help with my Spanish.
Try contacting the Cámara de Comercio they may have a few companies looking for native English tuition. The University may be able to help. Theres also the Digital District in Alicante. Alicante is a growing new media hub. It’s essential for the companies to communicate. English is the common language of the digital industries.
I’m considering a radio operators course to operate drones in controlled air space. One of the requirements is I pass the Cambridge level 4 English qualification. Thats a language teaching opportunity, somebody will be required to teach these courses to native Spanish speakers. Spanish pilots are now required to speak English as the common language.
Theres also opportunities with the supermarkets. In the tourist areas they require their staff to have a basic shop English. Products and prices.
Business English is a growth area, Spanish companies are expanding into the English speaking world. They have trouble with converting their marketing and product descriptions into English language.
If you research the market there should be somewhere you fit in. It will be necessary to learn basic Spanish to communicate with the students. You may have to upgrade your English teaching qualifications. Knock a few doors, meet a few people. Make new friends. It’s possible to make a living in Spain teaching English as a business language.
