Hi,

I am thinking about going to Mexico next year (I've just started looking around for the next country I'd like to live in, so I'm not too sure on any particular regions I'd like in Mexico yet) and I'd like to know what my chances are for getting work at a public or private university with a BA in English, a CELTA, 3 years ESOL teaching and 1 year teacher training experience?

Also, what are the prospects like at International schools in Mexico. I was on one website that said teachers needed a BA in Education, Sociology or any other Humanities field. Is it not 100% necessary to have an Education degree/diploma to work at International schools in Mexico?

If I were to work at a private language school, what kind of pay should I be looking at with my experience? I know it depends on regions but any general overview would help.

Thanks.

Chiq

In the city where I live, your chances would be slim to none unless you happened to know someone personally in a position of power at one of the universities. The last two foreigners hired at the university where I work had their MA in TESOL degrees and several years of teaching experience prior to being hired. I'm one of them, and I began working at the university over 8 years ago.

At language schools in the city where I live, a teacher doesn't get paid according to his credentials and number of years of experience. Those things are among the deciding factors as to whether or not he's offered a job, but all newly hired teachers usually start out with the same wage per hour regardless of their qualifications and experience. Most language schools here are currently paying between 20 and 60 pesos per hour, the average for decent language schools being somewhere between 40 and 50 pesos per hour after taxes.
