I'm planning on traveling to mexico in the next two weeks. I have been teaching in Korea for the past six months and in thailand for a year and a half before that. I have no degree and just a 28 hour uk tefl course (which i know menas nothing). But i do have the 2 years experience????
will this help?
What type of work can I expect to get?
Whats the cost of living like???
Is there work every where or do i have to stick to the major cities???
All help and suggestions welcome
Cheers |

Mexico is not as inexpensive as China, but then again wages are higher. DF is your best bet but many people have a hard time adjusting to one of the biggest cities in the world (it certainly is top 5).
There are a lot of opportunities for teaching morning classes and you will have your pick at that. Pay is generally from 125 to 175 pesos per hour but most pay about 140 pesos an hour for native speakers.
Filling in the rest of the day is problematic. You will get your mornings filled within a few days of arriving here, there is such a high demand, so I would advise not to settle for anything less than 140 pesos an hour. Your evening classes, if you luck out, will take you at least 2 weeks to fill if you see work from either language schools or independent recruiters. Check with www.computrabajo.com.mx for listings. There are other websites as well that will give you an idea of what is available.
Good luck. |

| I have talked to a few members here and I have been told that there are many opportunities in the big cities (this is not to say that there aren't anywhere else). Are you looking to work in a rural or urban setting? |

Rural is preferable but to start would work in a city.... found that seems to be the norm start in a big city then hunt out the job in the countryside....
Are you there at the moment? where do u work? |
