You are on the right website, check out the classified section at the bottom of the page. There are teaching positions advertised there. Also there is a website called aldaba-Bolsa de Trabajo which lists a few teaching jobs. Aldaba will give you an idea of the salary you can expect. You will need to understand Spanish to use that site.

You need to know to call it the Dominican Republic firstly. Secondly, lots of information right here on this forum. Do some homework first.

1. Savings to live on.
2. Learn the name of this country.

An ability to write the language you wish to teach in a grammatically correct fashion would be a good start.

I see and that's why you drop a second 'o' for the same reason.

And why don't you use 'DR' which is widely accepted, shorter and sounds less stupid?

Hey Dubby,

I'm just coming in on the end of this conversation. I would like to know if it's possible to get a temporary teaching gig for about a month. I have teaching experience in California.
