Welcome, amigo. So you to have fallen in love with our little Paradise?! It's great living year round down here surfing and enjoying lots of
friendships. Work? Another thing. Lots of Teachers both retired and younger. Tutoring jobs vary each year for both younger kids and High School.
Quite a few people attempt to piece together a few students but it's temporary at best. It's also a pay cut for most Credentialed Teachers w/ BA
Degree. Before I retired as an Elementary School Teacher I came down on most Vacations--give me a week or more and I was here! What are you
going to do for income if I may ask?? Suerte Tio

JB...is your wife fluent in spanish then? I tutored for years, organized a little school and taught at university here in baja sur where I made about
$2.50 an hour....my private classes were more lucrative at $5 an hour...split between 5-6 students and even then my students had trouble paying for
their classes....so expect a big pay cut. It's pretty maddening too dealing with students who dont show up...get behind...dont do homework etc....but
yeah...sure work is possible but make sure you get the proper type of visa for it.

Shari, Thank you for that info she is not fluent now but is doing some coarses she is under contract until the end of the next school year so we are
planning it out. But dealing with the students she teaches now at a middle school 7th & 8th grades about 85% Hispanic and impoverished. So she
deals with the same challenges here but gets paid a bit better than that ...lol, but she lives and loves it, its not the money just wants to make a
difference and would probably benefit the children there greatly.... Do you know will she need that TEFL cert rite away just to start tutoring for the
rite visa? Well thanx alot for your help I love your guy's setup there looks beautiful........We will have to stop by  ...JB

I dont think she needs that certificate but she may need to prove she is qualified to teach and will need her university records translated into
spanish for immigration purposes.
