All you need is a TEFL or CELTA certificate which is a straightforward 1 month course you can do in the city. You can find plenty of work in numerous institutes around the city as native English teachers are always highly sought after. It is also easy as a majority of institutes don't require you (at least straight away) to get a visa, which would takes months.

I moved here in 2008 because I met a guy in university who I ended up falling in love with, and to whom I'm married now. Given that I didn't speak Spanish, it was really hard for me find a job locally. There are many jobs here for expats, but many of them like for you have to knowledge in Spanish. Most companies that hire English speakers do business here as well, so the Spanish is helpful. So, my only option was to teach English. That totally flopped after in late 2008. The peso went from 1 USD=3.05 ARS to 1 USD=3.60something over night. It was insane. Since then, it's climbed to about 3.95 now, and inflation is a serious, serious problem. In 2009, I started looking for work at home jobs. Honestly, if you want to live in Buenos Aires, it's the only way to go. I found a job with RosettaStone teaching English part time and writing course materials. They pay me a U.S. wage, which makes life here so much easier. As an English teacher, I was getting paid 25 pesos an hour.. $6.32 USD an hour. I wasn't even working full time!! FYI, I found my job on www.newtelecommutejoblist.com, but I also used www.craigslist.com ... both sites have a lot of work at home opportunities. Newtelecommute does a better job of getting rid of the scams. Good luck.. and if anyone has any questions, feel free to add me on Skype and ask! my skype: nancy.k.freshinger Suerte!
