Answer 3

luis v is correct in his posting.

i made the wage of $2.50 per hour at a private school back in 1996 in morelia.  and i did not need the paperwork to work there as it was a private school and there are some laws they can play with to get you to work right away.  i was paid by the schools "exchange fund"...whatever that means.....actually, that means that if i took spanish classes ( i did tke one) there would be an exchange for my teaching....after the one class was over, i then just got paid regularly.  it was a private school that also had spanish classes and high school classes.

private schools will pay more.  certain cities will pay more than others too.  

guanajuato, aguas calientes, tabasco, parts of veracruz, monterey, cabo san lucas.....have money in them....even parts of mexico city and guadalajara have money there  i hear cuernavaca is very very nice to live in .  one of the few places i did not go to yet....

there are some towns where it is not so awesome to live in.  aguascalientes is sorta not all that exciting....the city in tabasco state (villahermosa) is incredibly hot and sanitized...and veracruz state has places where it is super hot too.  that state is not my favorite.  some cities in guanajuato are way cool, others are just business centers.

i taught in morelia, michoacan, mexico

back then, the minimum wage was more or less $2.18 per DAY...i made that per HOUR.  i only had to pay 50 dollars per month for a room with a shared living area tho.

now, well, perhaps whatever hte per day minimum is, you can just think of your wage as that per HOUR.

good luck.

Depending on the kind of school and the city / are it is located.

Teachers' wages vary widely.

But preschool doesn't pay much.

As for the exact amount, I cannot say but some ppl I know were making about US$5 an hour. I don't know if that's still accurate.

Answer 5

Hey, well actually is gonna be almost impossible to make the same amount of money you are making in the US. But the living in Mexico is way cheaper than the States.

If you speak english and spanish the best option is to teach in a Private School, most of them bilingual.

You can be making more than a Goverment School and they might not ask for Legal Work status in Mexico.

Good Luck
