What Our People Say
At the beginning of the process of looking into becoming an English teacher in Spain I was nervous, and unsure of the process. I looked into different companies to try and find the best option for me. I was a bit nervous at first to speak with RVF as I hadn’t heard of them organically, unlike some of the other larger programs. However, I ended up choosing RVF after a consult call, and I am so glad that I ended up choosing RVF. RVF assists you in all the things that have to do with the Auxiliares program in Spain. They gather all necessary information and submit your application for you, as well as prepare you in depth for every step of your journey. I had looked at the Auxiliares application form online myself, prior to speaking with Harrison (founder of RVF). Most of it is in Spanish and the directions can be confusing and leave you unsure of if you’re doing things correctly. Luckily, RVF makes it very easy to do every step correctly. They submit your initial application for you and update you a few months later with your region and school placement, once the Spanish government has decided them. It was very easy to get in the region that I wanted and to pick the type of school and the size of the city that you want to be in. After the application process and after receiving your placement, RVF then assists you in collecting all necessary documents for the VISA process. They walk you through how to fill out the forms and make your Visa appointment for you. They then assist with instructions on housing search, setting up a Spanish bank account, getting a Spanish phone plan, what to pack, and much more. Upon arrival in Spain, RVF assists with scheduling your TIE appointment and knowing what to bring with you. Due to the pandemic I had more worries added on top of the natural ones you face when moving to another country. However, Harrison is very responsive and has always gotten back to me very quickly, despite the timezone difference. RVF has stayed up to date constantly with the Spanish government and their rules regarding Americans and Visa holders that are entering Spain. I am so glad I did not choose to do this process alone, as I would be very in the dark about the legal things regarding the visa, NIE, and TIE. This whole process has been made so easy and much less stressful because of RVF. I am nearly through the Visa process and will arrive in Spain in under a month to begin life as an auxiliary. I am so thankful for RVF assisting me every time I have a question, or am unsure of something. I would 100% recommend using RVF if you plan to do the Auxiliares program in Spain. From what I looked at RVF seems to be the best option in terms of the services you receive and the price. Other companies were more expensive, or about the same, but none offered as in-depth and responsive services.
