TEFL Training Center
 |
Housed in a unique historical building dating back to 1906, the TEFL training center is located in Guanajuato’s most beautiful neighborhood, "La Presa,” only 10 minutes from downtown. A reservoir is nearby and the avenue adjacent to the center is lined with beautiful historic buildings, trees, and parks. The new classroom and dormitory building offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. |

The training center’s facilities include 26 classrooms, gardens, an open-air cafeteria, a library, an Internet cafe with WiFi, a children’s play area, and even a miniature golf course. The building also has an activity hall for dancing, movies, large presentations, parties, and orientations.
Guanajuato, Mexico
Guanajuato is a quiet university town located about 200 miles northwest of Mexico City. It is a historic and picturesque town of charming courtyards, streets lined with pastel-colored houses, balconies trimmed with iron work, and flower-filled window boxes. Guanajuato's maze of cobblestone streets and alleys wind around steep hillsides and open into vistas of beautiful churches and small plazas.
TEFL trainees will find it easy to make their way around this truly pedestrian city, as modern traffic circumvents the narrow avenues and flows through the famous underground street, Calle Miguel Hidalgo. Guanajuato has no traffic lights or neon signs, offering a refreshingly tranquil place to experience the vibrant life in the streets, markets, and cafés. With such a perfect blend of history, culture and entertainment, Guanajuato gives trainees more than enough options to occupy themselves outside of their TEFL course.
Teaching English
in Mexico
 |
 |
English language students in Mexico run the gamut from young children learning English in school to adults studying for professional or personal reasons. Most teaching jobs are found in the booming capital of Mexico City, or in the nearby city of Guadalajara. Positions are also readily available in the coastal cities of Veracruz and Merida, and some can be found in rural areas throughout the country. |
With the low cost of living in Mexico, a TEFL teacher’s salary enables you to live a modest yet pleasant lifestyle. It is also possible to supplement your income by teaching private EFL students, a lucrative option that can allow you to save money while living abroad.

Teaching in Huauchinango, Mexico

“To live and work in another culture was amazing. I traveled, studied and made friends in places I never knew existed. I learned a lot about who I was and what I wanted to become. It was beneficial to work in another country, because I was learning a foreign language and teaching a foreign language simultaneously. I could empathize with my students, while keeping them motivated with their practice.
My favorite thing about living in Huauchinango was having the ability to explore Mexico. That is something I will keep with me forever. My favorite thing about working in Huauchinango was watching my students progress linguistically in a town where no one spoke English. My students were very friendly and engaged, but at times they required a lot of discipline. The majority of my time in Huauchinango was spent teaching during the weekdays and traveling with my friends – local and fellow teachers - on the weekends.
If it had not been for BridgeTEFL’s certification course I would have never known about the job opportunity (or that this sentence is written in the third conditional). While I was taking the course in Mexico my instructor told our class about the job openings. The university [where I taught classes] went directly to BridgeTEFL looking for potential teachers. Also, I take comfort in knowing that at any time I would like to teach abroad, I can call BridgeTEFL and be placed. I would absolutely recommend this experience to others.” |
