Re: Teaching Opportunities in Maine?
Posted by Curious about ESL in ME on 2/15/08

    I have spent the last four years in northern NH, but the
    teaching situation is lamentable. Are there opportunities in
    Maine for ESL teachers? Know Maine well and would prefer to
    live there, especially near the coast. Who wouldn't right?
    Any leads and advice would be greatly appreciated.
