Check out the Latin American forum.
By the way, this gives me a whole new idea: Why not open a language school and have teachers pay to work for me? We can call it Fun'n'Games No Study. Incorporated in Tahiti.

The thread in the Latin American Forum may be a ways down the list, as it got locked soem time ago- feelings were mixed.

I hire teachers, and have let it be known that I'm always willing to receive resumes. Since then, teachermexconnect has been a regular source of them. They always send the teacher's resume and email address, and after the first contact, I communicate directly with the teachers.

I don't know if they offer any other services. (Follow up, other assistance, communicating with schools that don't speak English?)

Compared to other agencies, I think they're pretty cheap- and they do seem to work at what they do. (Based on the fact that I get a large volume of resumes from them.) That said, I have no idea what their selection procedures are like. (How they determine what schools to send off to, or how they try to match teachers with schools)

Best regards,
Justin

PS I don't know, but thought that they were primarily active in Latin America. You're looking for work in Canada? DOes anybody know about this?

Karly,

If you are looking for a summer ESL position in Canada, check this out:

You may be able to keep the $25 in your pocket...

Good Luck
