Can I really make a decent living teaching English in Brazil?


Travel Info
This is really two questions:
1. Can I make enough money teaching English in Brazil to have a decent standard of living?
2. How do I go about finding a job teaching English in Brazil?

Travel Tips
Just to give you an example:
My wife taught English in Brazil for almost 2 years. At first, she worked for English schools, where it is easy to find jobs, being a native English speaker. You can make about R$ 10.00- R$12.00 an hour in a small town, where cost of living is not high. Working in a big city might get you double, tough, of course, you'll spend more to live. Now, we rented an apartment, where she gave out classes to groups of 3-6 people, twice a week. She made average R$ 35.00 an hour, which is over US$17.00, under the table, which basically represents over US$ 25.00 if you had to pay taxes on it. We have been back to Boston for 4 years and she has never made that kind of money up here, needless to say that we spent around US$ 400.00 a month to live in Brazil and it takes us around US$ 2500.00 monthly to live here. We have plans to move back soon! I hope it helps you!
