Anyone need an English and/or History tutor in Cartagena? Also looking for Spanish tutor...

Hello, I will be in Cartagena from roughly the 10th of June through the end of the month, and I was looking for opportunities to teach (any age) English and/or History while I was down there. Perhaps I can also find someone to help tutor me in Spanish as well, and serve as a sort of "tour guide" for me?

I was going to stay at the "dorm" of the language institute I was going to study at, but now I'm not so sure that's the route I want to take anymore.

I also coach and/or teach baseball, basketball, soccer, American football, tennis, racquetball, badminton, volleyball and ultimate frisbee.

I'm looking for a place on or near the beach...I can pay at least $250 for three weeks...and perhaps to live by or near someone who speaks English. I have four years of espanol in colegio y universidad, but haven't utilized it much until now. I will be returning to Colombia in late July to teach at a preparatory academy in the coffee region for at least two years.

Oh, I'm also trying to track down "cartagenamike," as I am trying to find/buy a cell phone that will work down in Colombia, as well as a computer, hopefully.
