Loja and Catamayo, Ecuador Need ESL Teachers

New York English Learning Center (New York ELC), a relatively new non-profit academic institution dedicated to helping students understand the English language. In many schools, there are 40-50 students per classroom and they dont learn. Here the policy is no more than 10 per classroom.

Catamayo: There are about 30000 inhabitants and it is known as the town of eternal sunshine. Weather is around 26-33 degrees most of the year round. As it is smaller than Loja there is a friendly feel to it and you can walk into the city center quite comfortably. There is a water park really close by on the outskirts of Catamayo.

Loja: This is where the HQ is stationed. This is a small city and considered to be the music and cultural capital of Ecuador.
