Teaching English to Children Program in Mexico

Vancouver International College

At Vancouver Language Centre of Guadalajara, you will receive everything you need to open the door to a rewarding and challenging career in the field of Teaching English to Children (TEC).


Get Practical Teaching Experience, On-Site

VLC is the only language school in Mexico that can offer TEC students the experience of teaching children right in our primary school classrooms.
Visit our website at www.vic-guadalajara.com .

Our primary school, Vancouver International College, has over 120 students from Kindergarten 1-3 through grade 6. VIC is staffed by native-speaking English teachers who have nothing less than the required teaching degrees and certification to teach in a primary school. Our students study all their courses in English - an amazing feat in itself for non-speakers of English.

You will have the opportunity to interact with teachers and children in our kindergarten and primary school. You will observe experienced classroom teachers, while honing your skills in teaching these young learners. In addition to the 40 hours of classroom work you have the opportunity to interact for an additional 10 - 20 hours with children of all ages. You will also have a chance to experience English classes with children from within the Mexican public school system who attend our school especially to improve their English skills.

Learn From the Best

Our senior TEC / TEYL teacher, Amy, brings with her a wealth of experience in multi-age group settings. During this program, you will learn from the experience of a 'frontline' teacher with more than 25 years experience teaching English as a second language to young learners. Under the guidance and mentorship of your TEC teacher you will unlock the secrets to being an effective teacher of children.

 

Quality

Unlike some other language schools, we guarantee that your program will be a quality learning experience with qualified native-English speaking teachers in every classroom.

Our classes are arranged so you can receive top quality preparation from internationally experienced teachers.

You will gain the necessary skills as well as the proper use of tools and techniques to teach English to Children in a creative and proven way.
