hello la professora!! i live here in madrid and i teach english here. I have alot of answers to your questions and comments. i HIGHLY doubt anyone will hire you from afar... HIGHLY doubt it. they want to interview you just like anyone else. it is nearly impossible to get hired from overseas. any academy in spain wallstreet,opening so forth will ask for papers, but there is ALOT of work illegally. you are most likely going to have to move over here without a job and then look for one. you have to look in the papers everyday and try hard, but you will find work. i moved here with no job or home and $900 and i made it so it´s not impossible! there are actually some places that will offer to doyour paperwork, so it´s out there,but it all takes TIME! good luck!!!! e-mail me if you like or for anymore help. i don´t know when you plan on moving out here but i have plenty of job leads for you if you decide to come!
