My name is Andy Ross, i am British, i have just arrived in Cancun from Toluca/Mexico City. I am looking for work as a teacher (or anything else)
I have a BSc (Hons) degree in Bio-chemistry and a masters in Secondary Teaching. I have experience teaching, science, Mathematics, English, history and religious education. I have travelled extensively and am also very experienced in construction, project management, working with sports horses and managing people.
I am here with my Mexican girlfriend, who has family here. So far i like it very much. A breath of fresh air compared to living in Toluca (what a mad house )hope to hear from anyone

thanks Andy

Hey Andy! Welcome to Cancun! You should not have many problems landing a job as a teacher if you hold teaching qualifications.聽 Many foreigners get a job teaching English as a second language but to get a decent salary you would have to work from 7am to 9pm Monday to Friday and sometimes even Saturdays and Sundays!
Look for a job in formal education, maybe a university or a private bilingual school. I recently got a job as an elementary school teacher.
Go to computrabajo.com.mx or simplyhired.mx Most schools post their vacancies there.
Saludos!

Hello Andy,

Universidad TecMilenio has a new language center in case you would like to teach English. UT also posts vacancies from time to time. I'm renting a small apartment close to Plaza 2000, not sure if this is where I will stay once the school year starts. Let me know when we can meet up for a chat.
Good luck next week!聽

Saludos,
Manny

Hi

Try these following two schools Communidad del sol or IAS they have a web page iasces.com where you can find information, on teaching.聽 If not you can go to the school with your CV, I believe they are closed this week.聽 But open in a week or so.

hope that helps

Hi Craig, thanks for the welcome. I am here from Toluca/Mexico City. I am here with my Mexican girlfriend. I聽 have just taken a job at the Colegio Britanico. We live in Santa Fe at the moment but are looking to move more into town very soon.
It is nice to make friends with English speakers as I spend all my time with Mexicans at the moment.
I am 49 and my girlfriend Carmen is 45. It would be nice if we had a chance to meet up sometime in the future. I look forward to hearing from you

Sounds good Andy.聽聽I agree.聽 Always nice to meet other English speakers.聽 I dont know to many and dont speak very good Spanish myself.聽 All my clients are either in the US or UK, so I get my English from my work but it would be nice to have a non work related conversation.聽 LOL

聽 Congrats on your job!聽 That is wonderful.聽 I am going to the states next week to drop my son off at his new University.聽 Brand new college freshman. :-)

聽聽I will be back towards the end of month, but let me know when you would like to get together.聽 My wife Cecilia and I are 42. Would be happy to meet up for dinner or something.
