Hi,
I'm a British person currently teaching English in Santiago Chile. I have a contract to teach here until December this year. Time seems to be going so quickly that I've started to think about what to do when I finish.
I have the option of returning to London and return to my old job where I have sabbatical leave until March. However I have really enjoyed teaching that I would like to continue doing it for another year.
I don't want to stay in Chile. I would absolutely love to go to Cartagena, Colombia. But I have no idea where to start looking. I've carried out google searches for various combinations of "Cartagena" and "TEFL/ESL jobs" but there is not much information forthcoming.
It would be great if someone could recommend sites that I should look at and/or institutions that I should contact.
Also, what are the pay and conditions like? Currently I live very comfortably in Santiago and I'm not sure if I'd want to live hand to mouth - haven't done that since being a student some years ago!
Is it a realistic expectation to want to live relatively comfortably teaching English in Cartagena?
Alternatively, are there other destinations you would recommend that I consider?
A bit about me: I'm 32 year old male. I have substantial experience in the private sector (non ESL) and about 2 years experience teaching English. I have a British university degree and a CELTA teaching qualification.
Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Alistair
