We are seeking mature participants looking for the experience of teaching in Mexico.  This is not a vacation program but rather a formal employment program, therefore the focus is on teaching English in a position suited to your experience, rather than a particular location.  We ask you to choose a city size in which you would feel comfortable and we do our best to place you in such a location.  For instance, we would not assign you to Mexico City or Guadalajara if you requested a small city.  All of our placement locations are enjoyable and pleasant places to live and work.  Our destination reps based throughout Mexico will be the first to tell you how much they enjoy their towns and cities. 

Note: If you are a citizen of a country other than the USA or Canada and hold the appropriate credentials, we welcome your application but it is your responsibility to check entry requirements  for transiting the USA and/or entering Mexico.  Contact your local US and/or Mexcian embassy for up-to-date information on travel requirements. Your travel agent may not always have current information since Passport and Visa requirements are liable to change at short notice.
