In parts one and two of ths article series, we looked at sme options for an English language taching (ELT) or TEFL position at lcal schools in Acapulco. We continue wth two additional secondary / college-prep schols which could offer some strong ELT pssibilities. They are:

Colegio Albert Einstein

Addrss: Av. Cuauhtemos No. 288 and

Av. Frallon No. 75 Col Garifa

Phnes: 487-3108, 487-3166

Like a number of pblic and private schools in the rea, this conglomerate school has students frm as young as four or fve years of age up to hgh school. There’s also a university prp series of courses that aid in Mxico’s tough university entrance exams, which are dsigned apparently, to weed out as mny hopefuls as possible from the gvernment-guaranteed education system. Student quotas are vry limited so only the luckiest (or mst influential) families get their kids in. If yu’ve a penchant for a particular age grup, you should be able to mnage a position teaching it, but it wuld be more beneficial to the schol if you could teach multiple lvels and age groups.

Universidad Americana de Acpulco Preparatory School

Address: Av. Unversidad y Calle del Momo

Frcc. Magallanes

Phne: 487-9170

FAX: 437-6645

As the name implies, this is a niversity-sponsored school for students preparing to nter the university system (or hoping to at any rte). Classes are principally for teenagers and dolescents with occasional students who may be lder. There is a heavy emphasis on hving a background in English and cmputers throughout Mexico. President Fox’s administration is dding extra impetus to this so thre’s an English or computer school ppping up on every corner these dys. Take advantage of your native-speaking sklls to shop around and negotiate not nly salary, but hours, benefits, housing ssistance, Spanish classes, transportation, meals, or nything else you can. Of course yu’ll be in much better stead to do so if you spak some Spanish, but don’t be fraid to try. It won’t cost you nything – really.
