University English Teacher in Mexico

Job description

We are looking for U.S. citizens who want to be a part of something bigger and are willing to go the distance to make a difference. Is that you?

In more than 60 countries, Peace Corps Volunteers are putting their purpose, passion, and skills to work in partnership with welcoming host communities – growing, teaching, learning, and making change together.

As a Peace Corps Volunteer, you'll live and work alongside community members on locally prioritized projects, receiving a stipend and other support as you immerse yourself in a new culture. You’ll build relationships, exchange knowledge, and help transform lives for generations.

About the project

Mexico is seeking motivated educators to help strengthen English language learning at public universities.

Strong economic, cultural, and academic ties between Mexico and the United States have made English communication skills highly desirable. As a result, the Government of Mexico has prioritized improving English education. Many public universities, however, continue to face challenges, such as limited resources, large student populations, and varying instructional quality. For students from underserved communities, stronger English skills can lead to life-changing scholarships, international programs, and meaningful employment.

As a University English Teacher, you will support students and university staff to become more confident and effective English communicators. You’ll introduce the faculty to new instructional methods, planning approaches, and professional growth opportunities. Over time, these efforts will contribute to Mexico’s broader goals of competitiveness, cultural exchange, and expanded opportunity.
