Teaching English in Brazil
The largest country in South
America, Brazil has
recently emerged as an international
economic
powerhouse, creating unprecedented demand
for
certified English language teachers.
English
teachers typically find work between March
and
August.
While a very limited number of
English language
schools interview teachers in advance over
the
phone and via e-mail, the best way to find
a job is
on the ground in Brazil during an in-
person
interview. English teachers in Brazil are
responsible
for their airfare and housing. Most live
in
apartments recently vacated by previous
teachers,
and many share accommodations with
coworkers.
English teachers can afford a
comfortable lifestyle
in Brazil. Schools typically offer 20 to
25 hours of
work per week, leaving plenty of time to
travel and
explore. Please note that while a
Bachelor's degree
is not required to secure a job in Brazil,
it still can
be strongly preferred by employers. If you
do not
have a degree, you should be prepared for
a more
competitive job search.
Please also
note that it is not common to obtain a
work visa in Brazil. English teachers
typically
work under the table on a tourist visa. It
is common
practice, but it is not technically a
legal work visa.
Should you choose to work under the table,
it is
your responsibility to be informed of the
potential
consequences of working on a tourist visa.
TEFL certification is typically
required. English
teaching jobs are concentrated in the
larger cities
such as Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Recife,
Salvador,
and Brasilia.

The use of should in the sentence “Should you choose to work under the table, it is your responsibility to be informed of the potential consequences of working on a tourist visa” (4th paragraph), is correctly explained in the alternative:
A
Should is used to express advice. It is possible to use it before the subject in affirmative sentences when the writer/speaker means to advice someone very politely.
B
Should can be used as a conditional, meaning if. When used as a conditional, the writer/speaker wants to soften a very dangerous situation as working illegally in a country.
C
Should is a modal verb used to express advice. In the sentence, the writer is advising the readers there can be consequences in working under the table in Brazil.
D
Should can be used as a conditional. It has the same meaning if does, but its use is pretty formal, not being very common in general oral interaction.
