try ULACIT (Via Espana). She needs teachers as of today (4 OCT). It's a language institute within a university.

drawbacks; a. only $10 an hr. (low for this market)
b. a screwed up methodology called the 1-2-3 method

But it's a job that's better than most in this city

That's all I know.
Please don't email me.

There was a small article in a recent issue of the magazine "Transitions Abroad". Here is a link, though I am unsure how long it will be valid:

I've emailed the ULACIT (Via Espana) but have had no response at all. Mr. PirateinPanama, have you any email address that I might use to enquire about any openings or at least submit my CV for any future openings?

That Transitions Abroad article was very helpful. Thank you to Carina! I've been also trying to get ahold of those Berlitz people as well, but have had no response either.

If anyone else has any helpful info please post it up or send it me privately at:

Gotta go eat lunch now.

Ciao!

I only see the following in the telephone book;

[email protected]

www.ulacit.ac.pa

I guess you should address your inquiries to the language institute.

(507) 224-5377.

The woman in charge is called Tita. I forgot her last name.

Unfortunately, this is one of those spots in the world where you really have to be here to get a job. Very little is done via internet.
Good luck!
