    About this ebook

    This comprehensive, all-you-need-to-know guide about teaching English in Mexico City is for the experienced teacher who is considering teaching privately in Mexico. With more than 20 million Mexicans residing in and immediately around the capital, along with a severe lack of qualified and affordable teachers, Mexico City holds the best opportunity in the country for giving one-on-one language classes. But how do you do it and what should you expect?

    With years of experience offering private classes to the locals, Cheryl Kline shares her knowledge and insight on this little sought-out city in the ESL world. Covering all your questions and uncertainties of what it is like to teach in the capital of Mexico, this detailed guide discusses the intricacies of tutoring Capitalinos, available teaching resources, getting situated and the always-present safety concerns. By knowing ahead of time what is likely to be encountered, you will be able to determine if Mexico City is the right place for you.

      About the Author

      Introduction

      With well more than 20 million inhabitants, half of whom come from outside the metropolitan area, Ciudad de México, also named Distrito Federal, better known in English as Mexico City, is one of the largest cities in the world. It is a crazy and zany place where half a dozen emotions can be experienced within hours of each other and one day never resembles the next. It is a city that takes pride in regularly attempting to break or create Guinness World Records, claims to have the most museums in the world, and concentrates on providing art and culture to the public. All this, plus more, is what makes Mexico City one of the great cities of the world. If you are not interested in staying indoors and ignoring life, this might well be the city for you.

      Mexico City is what most other over-sized cities are not – the unexpected. This carries over into the teaching sector as well. Even with one of the largest populations on the planet, there are very few native English speakers teaching English privately here. Of those who come to do so, the vast majority disappear within a couple of months of having arrived. Some are slow-moving tourists just looking for some extra travel bucks while others come specifically for the purpose of teaching, but soon realize that to give classes is a real science and so they move on to other work in the city. Either way, the competition is minimal, permanent competition even less so.

      Low-cost private classes given by native speakers are much in need in Mexico City (as well as its neighboring state of Estado de Mexico). Even though this is the capital and financial capital, salaries remain low (not much higher than the rest of the country) while costs continue to rise. You will experience the effect of this from the beginning when
