If you want your next English teaching destination to be a country where you can learn a lot of history, try diverse cuisine, and brush up on your Spanish skills, you may want to head to Mexico next. One of our Bridge grads, Andr\u00e9s Bermudez, an English teacher from Mexico City, offers a glimpse of what it\u2019s like to teach in his home country as well as tips for how EFL teachers can find opportunities in this culture-rich region in Central America.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi, Andr\u00e9s! Can you share a bit about yourself?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m from Mexico City, and I\u2019ve been teaching English online<\/a> since 2019. I\u2019m also planning to move to another country for a short period of time. I want to get new experiences and continue teaching online but with a new feeling, since I need fresh ideas to improve my own business. Also, I\u2019d like to share that I was accepted into a Michael Jackson tribute travel agency a few months ago. This makes me feel more complete, as I think it is important for a person to have different roles in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found out that teaching is one of the activities that I enjoy and can do anywhere, without having to be in an office the whole day. I consider myself a person with a free spirit. My dream is to run a successful online language school<\/a> in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s your online English teaching experience been in Mexico?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been complicated because there aren\u2019t too many disciplined students and not all of them are willing to pay for English classes for a long period of time, so I decided to look for students in other countries and of other nationalities to expand my market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
