Interlink English is looking for a qualified native English-speaking teacher (4-year degree and TEFL certificate or equivalent required) to join our team beginning in Jan/Feb 2026 with a desire to work with teens and adults but also excited about working with younger learners (aged 6-8 and 9-12).
WHO WE ARE: A small language academy (approximately 300 students) with a focus on fun in the classroom. The bulk of our students is ages 16-25 and come to us because they want to learn, not because their parents drop them off at our doorstep. Forget about classroom management sapping your energy and envision a classroom full of smiles and open minds! We also offer young learner classes for children ages 6-8 and 9-12. Maximum class size for any age is 12 students making your teaching time far more beneficial for the students and relaxing for you!
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR: Professional and experienced teachers with the desire to make learning interesting. We have a library of classroom materials and ready-made lesson plans for students over 8 years old, but always encourage our teachers to make the lessons their own as much as possible. Creativity, patience, and dedication are qualities we cherish in a teacher.
WHAT WE ARE OFFERING: We offer a base salary of $14,000 pesos per month after taxes for a maximum of 5 contact hours per day (Monday -Friday) with no split shifts. Saturday classes are required for 40 of the 52 weeks of the contract with no salary decrease for the Saturdays off. At the completion of a 12-month contract we offer a cash bonus of $6,000 Mexican Pesos. Five weeks of paid vacation (2 for spring break and 2 for Christmas and 1 summer) are included as well several long weekends per year. We also pay all visa expenses at the completion of the first 12-month contract and pre-pay any additional contract visas. Furthermore, we offer a furnished, air-conditioned apartment with $2,500 being deducted from the monthly salary to ease your transition into town.
WHAT TUXTLA IS LIKE: Tuxtla is a safe city with very few foreigners which means your Spanish will truly take off. The city itself has all the comforts of home (4 movie theaters, Sam's Club, Starbucks, and a variety of nightlife options) without taking away from the wonderful experience of living in beautiful Mexico. Day and weekend trips to quaint colonial towns, jungles ruin, and of course the beach are feasible and encouraged by our staff!
Interested applicants should e-mail a resume, a picture of your passport, a recent photo (a casual shot is just fine!), proof of undergraduate completion, proof of teaching credentials above mentioned and a letter of introduction to the Academic Administrator, Tobin Hoffman interlink.english@gmail.com
We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Please mention that you found the job on Teast for the school's reference.
📌 Please review the requirements to teach English in Mexico before you start applying for teaching positions. If the job post specifies "NES" or "Native English Speaker", it typically means applicants are required to be from one of the following countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa. However, in some cases, this may indicate a preference rather than a strict requirement.
⏳ Due to the high number of applications the schools receive they may not be able to respond to every application. If you don't hear back from them within a week or so, it's best to move on to the next job.
⚠️ When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy anything which they then pay you back for later. NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. Scams in TEFL are rampant, be careful!
