Teaching English in Mexico is both an exciting and rewarding experience. There's no better way to learn about another culture than to live in it. It's one thing to vacation in Mexico, and quite another to work there. When teachers wake up in the morning and get ready to teach their first class, they realize that they have blended into another culture. This is an amazing accomplishment - one that will be with them for the rest of their lives. Presently, there's a great demand for English teachers in Mexico. Jobs are plentiful for qualified teachers. Many Mexicans receive higher salaries if they speak English. For example, a secretary at "Aetna Seguros Monterrey" (an insurance company) will receive an additional 1,000 or more pesos a month if he/she can speak English. There are many American companies with branch offices throughout Mexico. The employees are Mexican and need to speak with their American counterparts. Overall, the general consensus in Mexico is that if you can communicate in English, your economic status and job position will increase at a faster rate. "Mexico Business" magazine reported that learning English is more important to a Mexican than obtaining an MBA. Mexicans are extremely warm and friendly. It's not uncommon for students to become friends of their teachers. They enjoy showing off their country and their customs. Teachers are invited to birthday parties, festivals, weddings, and the like. Furthermore, teaching English in Mexico creates a good opportunity to learn Spanish. The 5 top reasons to teach English in Mexico: Learn a new culture. Improve or learn Spanish. Enjoy the beauty of an ancient civilization. Live in the comfort of a warm, tropical climate. Make new friends that will last a lifetime.
