Why Mexico
Mexico is one of the warmest, most colourful places in the world to teach English. You complete your TEFL course in Guadalajara — one of Mexico's great cultural cities — and step straight into a paid placement supported by our local team.
What teaching in Mexico is really like
Mexico has a huge and diverse English teaching market across language schools, bilingual schools, and corporate English programs. Demand for foreign English teachers is consistently strong in Guadalajara and Mexico City — and our TEFL course is delivered in Guadalajara itself, with placements following across the country.
Classes are warm, students are enthusiastic, and the teaching culture leans informal and personal. You'll teach mostly adults or teenagers, often in business English settings or evening language academies, which means your schedule leaves space for mornings or afternoons off.
Mexico is flexible on degree requirements for some placements. Enquire to find out what's realistic for your situation.
Cities we place teachers in
Placements happen across Mexico. Here's a taste of the cities our teachers live and work in.
One of Mexico's great cities and the home of our TEFL course. Incredible food, music, and a thriving language school scene.
Latin America's biggest city. A teaching market that never stops and a cultural richness that takes years to unpack.
Smaller placements across the country — often quieter, cheaper and more community-based.
This could be you in a few months.

What it really costs to live in Mexico
Honest numbers on what teachers spend and what they save. We never share fees on our website — enquire to get the program pricing directly.
Apartment in Guadalajara or a mid-size city; Mexico City can go higher.
Tacos, tortas, street corn, pan dulce — eating out in Mexico is cheap, fresh and glorious.
Metros, buses, Uber in every major city. You don't need a car.
Teachers live comfortably and save what they choose to save. Mexico is a lifestyle post, not a savings race.
What life is really like as a teacher in Mexico
Mexico is colour, noise, generosity and flavour — and nothing else quite like it. Teachers say their first year here felt like everyone around them was inviting them into something. The food, the music, the festivals. It's a country that doesn't hold back.
Weekends are for Oaxaca, the Yucatán beaches, the Pueblos Mágicos, or a bus down to Chiapas. Mexico is enormous, unendingly varied, and the kind of country where your teaching contract becomes the smallest part of the story.
