If she is not sure about teaching there are TEFL courses which can be 3 day courses for teaching english as a foreign language. That would help her teach english in a fruitful way.

My plan was to find somewhere to book a room and then put an ad in the newspaper offering an evening course for two hours a couple of evenings a week. The price per person would depend on what the booking fee for the room would be. If it was going to be too expensive I planned to tutor instead. But it would be worthwhile scouting the prices of english courses in Panama to get an idea of prices. If a room can be booked cheaply enough then the charges to each student could be minimal. And of course, if one undercuts the competition then the students will be grateful and one may find that invites to parties and celebrations would help integrate in the local community.


Does that mean i get taken to the cigar bar and bought a few beers when I am there? ;-)
