Question: Is there any disadvantage to moving to Chile in May vs. February, in terms of finding a job teaching English?

My Situation: I am planning to move to Chile (Valparaiso) in either February or May of 2008 to become an English Teacher. I want to move down there a bit of time before the start of a new school semester because I believe it will give me the greatest opportunity to become adjusted and to begin looking for a job and have thus selected May or February of 2008 as my potential months for moving. I have been informed that February would be preferable because I�ll catch the tail end of summer and I�ll be there for the beginning of the school year. Unfortunately, February is fast approaching and I�m unsure of how easy it will be for me to make the move.

Any help/insight will be greatly appreciated!
