Salary for English Instructor at Colombo Americano?

Does anyone have a rough idea of what a full-time English instructor at the Colombo Americano in Medellin might earn? I´m an accomplished journalist, hold an undergrad degree from Northwestern University and am working on a M.A. at Harvard, but would like to spend a year with my mom´s family living and working in Medellin.

If you are looking for pay, I would look for a job at a university. Colombo here in Bucaramanga is an hourly position and not much. It doesn't sound like you would get paid your worth but it is worth a try to contact them and see.

Try UPB, UdeA or EAFIT, but if you don´t have your master´s completed, who knows?

Democratic party or Republican party is fine......as long as theres a party!!!!!!!

The Colombo Americano pays very little, many years ago I was in Medellin for 7 months, and I was teaching English there, the taxi ride cost me more than what I would got in one hour. I 'studied' English also It was a great experience though,

About 15.000-20.000 pesos per hour. On average a person works about 35-48 hours per work. You can supplement your income with private class, albeit you won't have life.

at 15.000 an hour you'll make around 2.5 million a month. Pretty good if you ask me.
