Hello! I am planning on moving to Mexico City this fall and am trying to pick an exact date. I know that the school year there begins in mid-August so I have no illusions about working at a regular school and am planning on seeking work with a language school. Would October be an okay time to find and begin work at language schools in DF? Or if it would it be too late in the year? I don't know if this will make a difference, but I will have a CELTA certificate and a BA (in Business) but very little classroom experience.

October would be perfectly fine. The only bad times here for gaining immediate employment at language schools are December and early April.

I've been trying to teach him, but he's not picking anything up. He insists that it's because I don't have the proper training. Maybe once I get a CELTA...

Just like anything else, one simply needs the right bait to fish in the pond.

um, not that one should fish for elephants in a pond, however.

Well, it seems my elephant friend might prefer a different kind of bait...

Yes, that is the same elephant. No, that is not me.

Definitely get that training. Wouldn't want him to react like this one did.
