Hi
I would appreciate any info you could give me. I am considering coming to Mexico to teach. The Doctors say I should go to a hot dry climate and parts of Mexico certainly qualify. I have two questions.
First id there a great deal of age discrimination. I ask because in Taiwan 80% of the jobs go to people under 35.
Second I read that you should have you Certificates certified in your home country. I am not sure what that means or how to do it.
A little background. I was not a teacher before. However I have taught ELS for 7 years now. I am 52. I have taught in Korea, Taiwan, and a short time in China and in the Philippines. I have a TEFL, TESOL, TEYL (Teaching English to young learners) an advanced TEFL and an Advance TESOL.
Also I have written a series of 6 books on teaching children to read using explicit phonics that will be distributed to Taiwan, Japan and Korea in November.
What are the chances of me finding a decent job? I am not trying to get rich. Just pay expenses for another 5 years till I retire
As an aside what is it like teaching in Mexico?
All advice is appreciated
