Hi there
If you want to live/teach in El Salvador, you will definitely need a working Spanish vocabulary. Try joining the following group. They are always looking for English teachers. Good Luck! https://www.facebook.com/groups/ExpatsInElSalvador/?ref=bookmarks

Hi
I do speak good Spanish and work in the public schools as an ESL Instructor. So language isnt the issue. I do have someone in ES looking for me too. She is a local in San Salvador. I tried joining the fb group but nobody has approved my request yet. That's a bummer. Any other advice is much appreciated.
All The Best...

That group took 3 months before they got around to approving me so they might get around to you yet.
Keep in mind that the school year in El Salvador runs from mid January to mid November and the schools are way underfunded especially in the country areas so stick to looking in the well to do areas on San Salvador.

Yes i want to stay in or near San Salvador. My lodging will be in Soyapango. Escuela Panamerican has contacted me. No openings yet but want a CV for the future. I know the wages are not great but if I could get into a private school and pull in 800-1000.per month I could get by fairly well.
Any help will be so appreciated.
All the best.

I would rethink taking a lodging in Soyopango, not one of the desirable areas of the city for a gringo to live.

Hi
I know Soyopango isn't the best place however I grew up in some very dangerous places here in the state's. I can handle myself. I survived getting shot at whilst deployed so I'll be ok. And Soyopango is only temporary. Once I get acclimated we will move to better place. Thanks so much

Go ahead and add yourself to that group and I will email the administrator and tell her to add you as she is one of the people looking for a teacher.

Hold on a minute!
I dont know it all, however I have confidence in myself and my abilities. So please if you are going to say rude things to me...just don't. I don't know you and you don't know me. I've seen things that I wouldn't wish on anybody and I just wanna make a difference. That's all. Have a good Night sir.

Yup, just joined the forum, too lazy to fill out a profile, big ego, you'll fit right in with that group.

Terryfoss $800.-$1000. sounds great I wish I could get that much as far as I knew the most you get for teaching would be $ 300. to $400. but I am glad you got a great offer. I used teach English in Slovakia, did it for 7 years and I loved it. but I have tried here and never had an opportunity for teaching . I work for a call center American company. Making $550.00 which is really bad here in such as expensive country. there are other call centers that pay better anyways if you wanna work, there is plenty of work in call centers while you wait for the teaching job. Good Luck and welcome to El salvador
