Discover Mexico While You Teach and Earn

TEFL trainees spending time together during their training in Mexico

Mexico offers a lower cost of living than most Western countries, and with competitive salaries, many teachers find they can live comfortably, enjoy their free time, and have enough left over to experience all that the country has to offer.

It’s a great way to build your teaching experience, earn an income, and immerse yourself in one of the world’s richest cultures – all at the same time.

Mexico Makes it Possible to Live Well While You Teach

Mexico is an exciting place to start your TEFL journey, and a popular option in Latin America. Teachers are in demand, the cost of living is lower than in most Western countries, and daily life offers a rich mix of culture, food, and community.

You can teach in towns and cities across the country, whether that’s in a busy city, a regional centre, or in coastal areas where life moves at a slightly slower pace. Opportunities exist with children, teens, and adult learners in language schools and educational centres throughout Mexico.

Why enrol through School of TEFL? A Personal Note

I started School of TEFL because I know what it’s like to look at TEFL courses and wonder who to trust – or whether it’s even the right step. When I started out, I wanted straight answers, real support, and a course that would actually prepare me for the classroom.

That’s what we offer here.

When you enrol through School of TEFL, you’ll take the same accredited course delivered by our partner, ITTO. But we also try to make the process a little easier – at the moment we’re offering $100 off your deposit, and if you complete the Mexico course in full but don’t pass, we’ll refund that deposit entirely.

You’ll also have ongoing support from people who’ve done this themselves, and optional access to our Grammar Course is included at no extra cost.

We aren’t a big corporate operation. We’re a small, friendly team – and we’ll treat you like a person, not a sale.

If you’ve read this far, you’re probably serious about making a change. I’d love to help you work out whether this is the right next step for you.

Accredited Certification

The course you’ll take through ITTO is accredited by the Secretary of Education of Mexico (SEP), ensuring it meets high standards for teacher training.

Your TEFL certification is recognised and widely accepted by schools and language centres in Mexico, across Latin America, and beyond.

We’ll Help You Find Your First Teaching Job

You won’t be left to figure things out on your own.

In Mexico, ITTO will support you through every step of the job search – from preparing your CV and practising for interviews, to connecting you with schools that are actively hiring.

Graduates who stay in Mexico often find teaching work soon after completing the course.

If you’re planning to teach elsewhere or work online, we’re here at School of TEFL to guide and support you.
