Some general advice about teaching English:
"As in many countries expats reside in, teaching English is a common position. Most language schools now demand all applicants have TEFL course certificates, a college degree, and adequate visa clearance and registration.

Working for a Language School
The easiest way to get started teaching English is to find a school. The best situations are companies that pay for health insurance and aid in getting visa paperwork completed.

Applicants usually submit their resume and application, and if the school approves, the applicant will be asked for an interview. The interview can consist of a sample lesson (about 20 minutes) or a grammar test. Some schools will throw teachers right in for a 90 minute class where the school observes and either offers the job, or does not.

It is common for new teachers to only receive a few classes at first, usually morning classes. Many teachers work at two schools.

Private Lessons
Offering private lessons is usually more profitable per hour, but means a lot of hard work to find your own customers. The best way to get private students is to post advertisements in business newspapers, on bulletin boards, or post in the classified section. It is also helpful to have Spanish language skills so you are able to work with beginner students. And while private students offer immediate money in your pocket, it can be hard to establish a reliable clientele.

Private lessons in technical and business English at private companies is the most lucrative strain of teaching. These jobs are hard to come by, and without experience, it is unlikely you will be able to gain a contract. It is also necessary to have all your paperwork in order for these positions. "
