Right now, most schools in California are suffering from declining enrollment. Because of that, it would be difficult for anyone to get a job teaching at an elementary school. However, if you would be interested in teaching middle school or high school, you may have more luck. There is a shortage of math teachers. You would also need to get a California Teaching Credential. Use the link I provided to check if you have all of the requirements. I teach in Whittier, California, which is in L.A. county. Starting salary for my district is $47,000 and the top rate is $90,000. Most district seem to be near this range. I work in an area where there are a lot of Spanish-speaking students, so my district likes to hire teachers who can speak the language when possible. I believe there are a number of teachers from Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries in my district. I have a cousin from Sweden, and he taught here on an exchange program for a couple of years, but I don't know if that program is still around. Good luck!
