English Teachers Needed: Colombia, South America

Native Tongue is a private English Language Institute in the city of Ibague, Colombia.

Located 200 km west of Bogot, Ibague is a city of 500,000 inhabitants with all modern amenities. Situated in a valley surrounded by tropical mountains, the climate is near perfect normally reaching 28 and dropping to 18 at night. Although Colombia does have some political and economic problems, safety is no more a concern than it would be in any large North American city. The people are very sociable and the city is vibrant with activity and nightlife. Native Tongue is Canadian owned and operated. The classrooms, equipment and ideas are all modern. Students will be of all ages and the courses will be very dynamic for both the student and teacher.

We are looking for experienced teachers to start work immediately. A clear voice with no noticeable accent is important. An outgoing, energetic person is a must. Spanish is not necessary.

We offer:

• 1,300,000 Colombian Pesos monthly (approx. $700.00 Canadian). In Colombia this equates to four times minimum wage or double what a local teacher is paid.
• Airfare compensation at the end of your contract.
• Medical insurance.
• Secure, modern apartment with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms will be shared. Utilities included.
• Maid service.
• 4 weeks paid vacation plus approximately 15 other paid holidays.
• Airport reception and transportation.

Send a complete resume and photo to be considered for a position. Only Applicants from Ontario, Canada will be considered (for VISA reasons).
