teaching english in nicaragua
"Nicaragua is called the country of lakes and volcnoes. Its beaches, lakes and
mountains make Nicaragua a special place to live. People are known for their
kindness and warmth. Nicaraguan hospitality makes your teaching experience one
of a kind. Its location in Central America allows you to travel around other
central american countries in a short amount of time. English learning is very
important for Nicaraguan citizens, since they depend economically on other
countries which demand communication."

"The first thing I believe is important when applying for a job overseas is
finding out the culture, and if your personality is able to handle it. Another
factor to evaluate is how developped the country is and if you are able to adapt
to it. Teaching English has a lot to do with teaching culture, but whoever is
teaching has also to adapt and understand the culture of their students."

"I have been living and working with English schools in Granada, Nicaragua for 1
1/2 years. Very few of the English schools in Nicaragua have an Internet
presence. There are a couple high-end schools in Managua that hire people with
Masters in TESOL and other credentials. They can be found using Google. Most of
the EFL schools only require previous experience or a TEFL certificate. Expect
to earn only $2US to $3US an hour unless you are teaching in Managua. Teachers
in Managua can earn $US5-10 an hour. A motivated teacher really needs to come to
Nicaragua, visit the schools and interview in person. The only way to really
know what the living and working conditions are, is see them first hand.
The heat and humidity can be difficult for many people. Imported goods are
expensive. Nicaragua is a safe country relative to other Central American
countries. The people are friendly and there is an abundance of beautiful,
natural environments."
