 Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2008 10:14 pm Post subject: Opportunities in Merida? |
 |
|
I've been teaching at a private language school for a year here in Jalisco. I have a Bachelor's degree and a TESOL certificate. I'm wanting to relocate to Merida around September. How's the job market? Any suggestions for specific schools? As usual, it's hard to find much on the web.
Thanks for the help |

If you're looking to move from language school to primary or secondary school, then you'll need to make the move sooner than September and you should be contacting schools right now.
If you stay at language schools, you'll find some work, but not at great pay. From what I hear, the market is also fairly saturated...more so during winter. Other posters here will surely pipe in with specific school names, warnings, etc, etc. |

| CES is the best of the private language schools. The pay scale in Merida is very low. You will be offered somewhere between 65 and 80 pesos an hour. You may or may not get offered a full time gig. I was there for a year, had taught in the states at a university for 7, but without a TEFL certificate and I waited over a year for my full time position. There are a lot of people scouting out Merida because it is such a fantastic place to live but unfortunately there are not much teaching opportunities. I would spend three months there, if you don�t find anything concrete, move on. There have been a number of people before me and afterwards who went to Merida thinking they would stay there for a long time and not succeeding and having to come up to Central Mexico for work, ie. Guadalajara, Monterey, Mexico City. |
