 |
|
Hello
I'm British and have a CELTA but no degree, I'm planning on just turning up in Peru (not sure where yet... Lima, Trujillo, Cuzco?) and looking for a job... what do you think my chances are of getting a job?
Thanks... |

| Pretty good if you dohn't mind working without a visa. LIma, Trujllo, Arequipa have the most opporutnities, though I would steer clear of Lima. |

Hi, thanks for the reply.
Yeah i don't mind working without a visa, it should only be for a year maximum anyway until i complete an online degree i'm doing and then a lot of doors will be opened!
I will certainly heed your advice about Lima, I've been there before actually and thinking aboout it, it was pretty big and hectic... I've had enough of big cities from teaching in Vietnam.
I'll be looking in to Trujillo and Arequipa.... thanks again naturegirl  |

| While I was browsing through job ads I came across an ad for teachers to work at a school called MOD EDIT they offer 8-12 soles per hour. Can this be right? At today's exchange rate, that is approximately $2.83 to $4.25 (USD). And they claim that this is 30 to 80% higher than what others are paying. Hmmm-m-m. . . okay, I just re-read the FAQ thread, and I see that $3 to $5 for institutes is the usual. (For some reason I thought I'd read $6-$10, but obviously I misremembered!) So, assuming this is $2.83 per hour while teaching, and you do much prep, you could be making less than $2.00 per hour overall? Yikes! Surely it costs more than this to breathe, even in Peru? |

I am pretty sure an American accent is in high demand as well, and getting some hours at language schools seems easy enough as I see ads all the time in Lima. |

Never said there weren't jobs in Lima. It's got high competition and you'll be fighting for jobs as well as spending heaps of time in transport going to different classes and students. Higher pay, but higher stress. |

Yep, could be right. That's not good pay. But it depends on where it is. I'd say 15 soles, around 5 dollars would be the minimum you should take. AS far as the FAQ, check the year, $6 to 10 is now the norm. But yeah, you certainly won't be making heaps of money in Peru. |
