We’ll complete the rounds of English language teaching institutes in this final part of the series on working in the Zona Rosa. If you’re still knocking on doors, you can always opt for teaching English in another area of Mexico City. At this point you also want to review your resume and interviewing skills in preparation for that final push. Here we go:

Pay is commensurate with experience and abilities but is typically on the higher end of the scale as are some of their requirements; however they say they can be flexible in some areas. Negotiate with them directly when you arrive for the best opportunities.

This business institute has 10 locations in the Mexico City area and will guide you to the nearest locations when you call. They are well-located and usually quite busy except for major festivals and holidays when things slow down a bit, but not for long since being fluent in English is a more important qualification for advancement in most professions than having an advanced degree. They can be contacted by e-mail even before you leave the U.S. to explore some possibilities.
