Hello everyone:)

I'm considering teaching English in Columbia, and I'd appreciate it if anyone could point me to where I can get information on language schools (which I can apply to from abroad)
I've already sent in an application for the public school program, and I thought I'd check out other schools at the same time.
I'm a non-native speaker, with a non-related degree from an English speaking country, and CELTA.

Any feedback would be appreciated, thank you Smile

There's a list here. http://www.eslbase.com/schools/colombia

I have a more up-to-date list somewhere, but I don't see it at the moment, and can't remember the source. I'll post it if I locate it. Tip: Get the spelling of the country right before you write a cover letter! Very Happy

ETA: The odds are against finding a job with a language school from abroad with minimal qualifications. You'll probably have to show up in person to have a shot.

Thank you for your feedback AGoodStory Smile

I checked out that website a couple of days ago- some of the links were broken, but I'm glad you recommended it as well, as I wasn't too sure if that would be a good starting point.

Yes, please do send the updated list if you can find it Smile

Hahaha, will pay extra attention to the spelling Smile

Will do. Yeah, the closed schools don't get pruned out. Usually the broken links indicate a defunct school, but sometimes the link has just been changed, and with a bit of searching you can still find the current site. In any event, you'll have better luck applying in person.

Noted- will do a Google search on the schools with broken links Smile
Yes, I agree- it would be easier to apply in person, but the airplane ticket is quite costly, although I suppose it'll work out if I do get a job.
Will try my luck applying online for a 1-2 months before I buy that ticket!

Don't come to Colombia without a cushion of $8,000 or so. You commit to the country by moving there, and then you find a job. Not the other way around.
