Alena, hi. I arrived in Colombia in January of this year. The private language school didn't work out. The pay is just too little. Currently, I have three private students. Also, I've applied for, and am waiting for a response from, an upscale high school. The pay will be around $2200000 pesos per month, which translates into about $1150. That's not bad here. If you move to Medellín and want to teach at a good school, be prepared to take the Cambridge TKT exam. I'm taking it on 4/09. Good luck.
