Language Institutes in Orizaba : Students, students everywhere, but where, oh where, are the Teachers? Small language institutes abound and teach English for business and tourism.
Many businesses and locals want to learn English due to the large number of English-speaking tourists who frequent the city for its mountain-trekking and volcano climbing, especially during winter climbing season and the Summer months.
The city is on the main route between Mexico City and Veracruz and looks very inviting as you pass through on the bus.
Many people stop off for two or three days during longer tours of the region.
If you are interested in working in this area, and are a native speaker, you have an excellent chance of getting decently-paying work if your timing is right and you're persistent.
You should always have copies (originals are better) of certificates and diplomas to help document yourself.
A photocopy of the front page of your passport showing your particulars and photo are also frequently requested.
Here are some places that are constantly looking and will give priority to long-term applicants over the Summer-job crowd.
Pay usually varies based on background and experience, but ranges from 35 pesos per hour on the low end to 60 pesos or more for the more highly-qualified, experienced candidates.
Remember: "The early bird gets the worm", so call, fax, write or e-mail well in advance for position information if possible.
The "código postal" (C.
