English for business is a growth area in Spain. I attend English for business negotiations at the Chamber of Commerce, when I can. The lady that takes the class is pleased to have a native English speaker. It’s good for me, my Spanish is basic, I have a room of Spanish business people to learn from.
Businesses and Supermarkets are always looking for English trainers. They have training days for basic business English. An advert in a Spanish newspaper can bring opportunities to teach English. My friend picked up a contract to teach Mercadona staff products and numbers in English.
Theres translation services for business literature. I have a requirement to make all my design services available in Spanish and English. Theres a demand for English speaking graphic designers to target the UK markets.
On the Spanish side business wants their brochures and websites available in English. I meet the marketing departments of Spanish business where they want to improve their written English language. The new Digital District in Alicante is a multi-lingual environment. English is the preferred language of the creative industries. Theres a requirement for basic English skills.
Theres opportunity to teach the English Spanish and the Spanish English. You could start with teaching Spanish and English translation and move into the business market. The business market will pay a more for the service.
