There is one teacher on the forum who I think is making more, but she's got a relavent MA.
In some parts of Mexico, immigration will want to see a university degree.

Even a degree in education will not necessarily make you a better teacher. Most people who don't have BA's are very defensive about it being "just a piece of paper". Beyond showing that you completed courses it shows you sticked with something that wasn't easy, you learned to work well in a system, you learned to express yourself (both verbally and written) well, and you learned to manage your time inspite of a million attractive distractions. |

Very well expressed Melee.
I think a B.A. and certificate to teach English is the minimum for me to peronally feel qualified to teach. |

I don't know what "vales" are...
So, let's see. You teach Mon to Fri, from around 9am to 3pm, highschool and elementary. Is that at 2 different schools then? Maybe more? Do you also do private tutoring, or anything else of the side?
That is a great salary from what I've seen. Congrats. You're in Mexico City, right? I believe you posted on my topic about rent costs, saying you and your wife pay around 2500...
Thanks for the openness. |
No prob! I only work at one school. In Mexico many private schools have several levels in one school/place. At my school we have everything from pre-school up to high school. I have planned, scheduled classes in middle and high school. I work in elementary school as a conversation teacher. It adds up to a good salary. I was teaching business classes for $175 pesos per hour, but I was getting too tired doing that as well. I helped a friend of mine take those classes over and he's doing a great job now.
BTW vales are great! They spend like cash at places like Wal-Mart and since I use them to pay for things like groceries and weekly needs I save my cash for other things. |

| But, M. Guy, I thought you'd be pleased that I contributed the correct spelling of a loan-word from French! |

S---! Are we of drinking age, or still fighting in the playground? I better stop now, before I revert back to pulling pigtails! |

This proud nitpicker (and demon translator/editor/proofreader) respectfully disagrees.  |

critique! haha, kidding, kidding, in general i don't even capitalize on the internet.
and i think prof may have been joking.
I will say that if you have mozilla it will spell check everything in most text boxes, some it doesn't and i think they are usually the kind that use flash, or something. it does work in this one, however. |

Ah, another convert! Who, in their right mind, would continue using Explorer? Easy folk to spot for the spell checker... |
